Arabian Automobiles Company, the automotive division of AW Rostamani Group and exclusive dealer for Infiniti, Nissan and Renault in Dubai and the Northern Emirates, has opened a new Nissan Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) showroom in Dubai.

The 40,000-sq-ft. facility, which is located on Al Ittihad Road, forms a core part of the company’s strategy to establish their organised used car market and increase its network across the region.

Housing up to 140 stringently checked and certified cars, Arabian Automobiles Company’s first dedicated Nissan CPO showroom is the city’s largest such facility, with the company’s operation aiming to distinguish itself from the competition through the quality of its vehicles.

Each car is subject to a thorough vetting for mileage, with only vehicles up to five years old or with 80,000 kilometres or less mileage eligible for inclusion. Before being accepted in Nissan’s CPO scheme, every vehicle undergoes a detailed service history to ensure its reliability, with a comprehensive process of reconditioning and quality checks performed by skilled technicians in the showroom’s dedicated inspection bay.

Michel Ayat, CEO of Arabian Automobiles Company, said: “We are delighted to announce the opening of a new Nissan CPO showroom in Dubai that will deal exclusively in the sale of premium quality pre-owned Nissan cars. The facility is backed by Arabian Automobiles’ extensive experience in providing high quality service in the sale, purchase, export and trade-in of vehicles. It is the latest offering from CPO that was established in 2010 as part of Arabian Automobiles Company’s operations to provide previously owned cars of the highest standard.”

Customers visiting the ISO9001:2008 certified Nissan CPO showroom will enjoy an improved CPO vehicle buying experience that has been specially formulated to make the procedure much more efficient and enjoyable.

Among the enhancements it has introduced are an on-the-spot trade-in facility and a new generation selling process that enables the salesperson to use an iPad to showcase CPO stock and offerings. The customer-friendly environment includes dedicated parking to maximise convenience for visitors to the showroom.

“In taking ownership of a Nissan CPO vehicle, customers can be assured that it is of the highest standard. We examine the vehicle top to bottom from engine and transmission condition to quality of its interior,” Ayat added.

“All this is undertaken with meticulous attention to detail. The vehicle receives a certificate of inspection authenticating its qualifications upon successful completion - only then is it permitted into the CPO programme. Our new dedicated Nissan CPO showroom is a hugely important new inclusion to Arabian Automobiles Company’s existing portfolio of CPO offerings, which includes six CPO facilities throughout Dubai and the Northern Emirates.”

Customers taking delivery of a Nissan CPO vehicle will receive the company’s Gold Exclusive Warranty that covers the car for 12 months, with the option to extend for another 24 months on payment of a premium. They can also avail free roadside assistance 24 hours a day, seven days a week for their first year of ownership, a statement said. – TradeArabia News Service
