Toyota Kirloskar Motor has inaugurated its first Toyota Used Car Outlet (TUCO) in Bengaluru. With this, the company claims to be the first auto manufacturer in India to offer fully OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) refurbished used cars to the customers. It is worth noting that the new facility will buy and sell only Toyota pre-owned cars. Every Toyota used car will be inspected and refurbished by the company before it reaches the end user.
The new used car outlet will also offer value-added services such as finance, insurance, and accessories. Further, the Japanese automaker claims that all cars sold by TUCO have undergone 203-point inspection based on global Toyota standards. Additionally, the showroom will be digitally integrated so that customers can have a transparent valuation of vehicle history and authenticity. Customers can evaluate their vehicles online by browsing the U Trust website and clicking on the ‘Valuate your car’ option.
Speaking on the occasion, Vikram Kirloskar, Vice Chairman, TKM said, “India's used car market continues to grow rapidly every year and TUCO represents our commitment to developing a fair and transparent used car market with increased reliability for our customers and to the Indian society as a whole. Our focus will be to offer our customers the best quality refurbished cars with convenience, transparency, and value for money. We are committed towards creating a reliable and transparent used car market which will enable faster disposal of cars at the right prices and right quality to the buyers.”
