Preamble.

Mercedes-Benz Canada achieves its best all-time sales results and claims the number one position in the luxury passenger car segment and in the same vein achieves unprecedented numbers in its Pre-Owned segment with 13 857 units retailed arguably also leading in this section as reported by http://www.newswire.ca on Jan 4, 2012.

Mercedes-Benz Pre-Owned sales consistently surpassed the previously established sales thresholds throughout 2011. With 884 vehicles delivered throughout December, Mercedes-Benz Pre-Owned sales closed the year with a grand total of 13,079 vehicles retailed. This represents considerable growth for the Pre-Owned business in Canada, and by far its best year ever, with a noteworthy gain of 25.4% or 2,649 units over 2010's stellar results.

The question which a lot of our customers have been asking is how Mercedes-Benz managed to achieve such a feat.Among a number of possible explanations, it is imperative to put into perspective the intervening variables that compelled Mercedes-Benz into action.

When the All New Redesigned C Class was launched in 2007 as 2008 model, the market place responded well and Mercedes-Benz (MB) started to achieve very high monthly sales records. This then meant that MB had to come up with a strategy of how to deal with a corresponding high number of lease returns. Instead of just sending these cars to the Auction Floors which are renowned for notoriously low prices which are well below set residuals, MB came up with an aggressive strategy through its Dealer Network to re-market these cars. Therefore the Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz Brand was born

The Benefits of Certified Pre-Owned.

According to Pierre Laberge (p.laberge@ogilviemotors.com) the Pre-Owned Manager at one of Ottawa's fastest growing dealership with State-of-the art facilities, a Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz is so much more than a "used" car. It is a pre-owned vehicle built by a company famous for its engineering triumphs, its racing heritage, and its commitment to luxury, quality, reliability, and safety. The Mercedes-Benz Pre-Owned program represents all of the virtues you expect from Mercedes-Benz, including exceptional service from your Certified Pre-Owned authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer (www.mercedes-benzottawa.ca)

Warranty coverage.

• Balance of Factory Warranty: If the Certified vehicle you purchase has not yet reached the factory warranty age and mileage limits, you can take advantage of the balance of this warranty.
• Star Certified Warranty: Certified vehicles may also be covered by a two-year, 40,000-km Star Certified Warranty. The Star Certified Warranty is valid for 24 to 72 months from the initial registration date of the vehicle. It provides major component and power train coverage as well as roadside assistance. 
• Extended Limited Warranty: This optional warranty provides coverage up to 7 years or 160,000km, whichever comes first.

Pierre reiterates that a 150-point certification inspection is performed on every Mercedes-Benz Certified vehicle. This inspection includes a comprehensive review of the vehicle's appearance, safety systems, electrical systems and components, undercarriage and drive train, engine performance, and fluid levels. An on-the-road test is performed as is an extensive post-drive analysis and a complete service history is supplied.
