Scania UK is giving customers a chance to buy a used Scania online for the first time.
The new selling platform forms a crucial part of the Scania Go used vehicle programme, where customers can buy used vehicles their way, with total peace of mind. Now, with the added flexibility of being able to complete their purchase anywhere they want.
Customers will have a wide choice of used vehicles to choose from across the different Scania Go grading bands. Information will include detailed specifications, pictures and the ability to get an indicative finance price too.
Mark Bridgland, UK Sales Director for Scania UK, said: “When we launched Scania Go, two years ago, our approved used vehicle programme was industry-leading, and today is the next step in making sure it remains at the forefront of our industry.
“Not only will our customers love the outstanding quality of their latest Scania purchase, but now they can buy how, when and where they want. By using Scania Go, we are putting our customers back in control, to choose their perfect vehicle, the way they want.”
Jay Sadier, Digitalisation and IT Director at Scania UK, said: “Today marks a momentous occasion for our sector as we take the first step to digitalising the full buying journey.
“We’ve seen over the last 20 years fast moving consumer goods, travel, groceries and restaurants all move to a fully online transactional experience, and in recent times buying and selling new and used cars online has become more prevalent and commonplace.
“This is the next step for our industry and we’re proud to be driving the shift towards a new way of buying and selling trucks, buses and coaches.”
Alongside the ability to buy Scania approved vehicles online, the Scania Go programme has also been updated too. It will now see Scania Retail Ready vehicles join the premium approved used vehicle programme, which now sees the grading levels increase from three to four – giving customers even greater choice to select their perfect vehicle for their budget.
Scania Go is Scania’s premium used vehicle programme, designed to give customers the ultimate transparency and peace of mind. Whether a buyer wants a low mileage two-year-old vehicle, a high-powered V8 or one that’s a high-mileage hero, there is a vehicle available to suit all budgets.
Each handpicked truck, bus and coach will be supported by a set of flexible benefits. They are designed to take away the stress when buying and ensure it meets Scania’s highest standards for used vehicles. While also allowing customers to tailor the support they receive from Scania UK and its nationwide service network.
