Nissan wins ‘Manufacturer Used Car Scheme of the Year’ trophy at Car Dealer Magazine Used Car Awards
Its success came at the Car Dealer Magazine Used Car Awards, often described as the Oscars of the used car industry. Manufacturers and car dealerships of all shapes and sizes battle it out each year in a bid to emerge head and shoulders above the competition.
Nissan were certainly deserving winners of an all-important category at the 2022 ceremony. Behind every one of its approved used cars is all the exciting performance, innovation and reliability of a vehicle from the Nissan range.
Its used car customers benefit from their chosen vehicle having undergone a rigorous certification process; the fact that it is covered by a comprehensive warranty; plus the unrivalled expertise of technicians and support staff who know Nissan cars better than anyone else.
In short, buying a used Nissan via one of the manufacturer’s dealerships ensures quality, value – and total peace of mind.
Michael Auliar, Sales Director of Nissan Motor (GB) Ltd., said: ‘‘Throughout 2022, we have brought lots of exciting new product to market but used cars are an incredibly important part of our offer and thousands of our valued customers choose a used car from Nissan every year.
Clear assistance
‘‘We are thrilled to have picked up this trophy at the Car Dealer Magazine Used Car Awards and are proud to deliver the best manufacturer used car scheme in the UK.’’
James Baggott, editor-in-chief of Car Dealer Magazine, said: ‘‘This award is one of the most keenly contested every year by manufacturers, as taking the spoils gives brands huge clout in a highly competitive arena.
‘‘The judges were looking for a manufacturer that prioritises giving clear assistance to consumers, but at the same time delivers great back-up and support to dealers. Huge congratulations to Nissan on this well-deserved success.’’
The Used Car Awards are hosted each year by Mike Brewer, the well-known TV presenter and a legendary figure in the automotive world.
Brewer is also a member of the judging panel and said: ‘‘The judges wanted to see evidence of a decent warranty, breakdown cover, a comprehensive check of all used cars before sale and a website that was easy to navigate.
‘‘Nissan offers a great used car scheme that really supports buyers and dealers alike. It’s also backed up by a fleet of pre-owned vehicles that buyers just can’t get enough of. Well done indeed.’’
The Manufacturer Used Car Scheme of the Year Award is one of more than 30 gongs that were handed out to dealers and manufacturers at The Brewery in London during a glittering ceremony attended by hundreds of guests.
The Car Dealer Used Car Awards, organised by Car Dealer Magazine, celebrate the best of the best in the used car industry, and have been spotlighting the UK’s top dealers and manufacturers since 2012.
