KUALA LUMPUR: Suzuki Cars Malaysia has appointed Carsome Malaysia as its exclusive official trade-in partner, giving customers a simpler way to trade in their existing vehicles when buying a new Suzuki.
The partnership will be rolled out across Suzuki's authorised dealerships nationwide and allows customers to trade in vehicles of any make or model as part of their purchase.
Through the arrangement, Carsome will provide vehicle inspection, valuation and trade-in services at Suzuki dealerships, removing the need for customers to separately sell their existing vehicle before buying a new one.
The move is aimed at making the vehicle upgrade process more convenient while giving customers greater transparency on the value of their existing cars.
As part of the launch, Suzuki Cars Malaysia is also offering rebates of up to RM19,000 and trade-in support of up to RM6,900 under its Merdeka Mega Bonanza Campaign.
Customers will be able to experience the new trade-in programme at the Naza Automania Carnival – Merdeka Edition.
Naza Automotive Group chief executive officer Rizal Jailan said the partnership was part of the group's efforts to improve the vehicle ownership experience.
"Buying a new car should be exciting, and not complicated. Together with Carsome, we are making it easier for customers to realise the value of their existing vehicle and transition into a new Suzuki with greater convenience and confidence," added Rizal.
Carsome co-founder and group chief executive officer Eric Cheng said the partnership would simplify the process of selling an existing vehicle and purchasing a new one.
"Customers should not have to navigate separate processes to sell one car and buy another.
"By combining Suzuki's dealership network with Carsome's inspection, valuation and trade-in capabilities, we are simplifying that journey and giving customers greater transparency and peace of mind when upgrading their vehicles," said Cheng.
The collaboration will be available at all Suzuki dealerships nationwide, giving customers the option of handling their trade-in and new vehicle purchase through the same retail network.
