Reconditioning of Used Vehicles
Non-dealer-owned off-lease vehicles: The leasing company must be listed as the current owner, and the dealer must also update the information in Modis. If the dealer does not purchase the vehicle directly from the leasing company, the dealer should:
- Check for open recalls and campaigns prior to sending the vehicle to auction
- If it is found that these vehicles need normal maintenance services (i.e. tires, brakes, annual service, etc.) then an estimate should be provided to the leasing company for their approval
- If a mechanical or safety concern is found, please open a BOL under the current guidelines for guidance and/or approval
- Updating Modis with the correct owner information
Dealer-owned off-lease or used vehicles: Vehicles purchased by the dealer from leasing companies, as well as dealer-owned used vehicles, may undergo a technical inspection as part of the Maserati Certified Pre-Owned Program and/or for dealer stock purposes. Repairs related to defects in materials or workmanship may be covered during the New Vehicle Warranty period, provided the following requirements are met:
- The dealership must be listed as the owner of the vehicle on the repair order
- All related repairs orders must be filed in the vehicle service file
- All lines on the repair require prior authorization by the service manager
- The repair order and invoice must be signed by the service manager/director
- A technical inspection, as part of preparing a used vehicle for sale, is not intended to enhance the vehicle’s resale value
Repairs that cannot be claimed under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty period on an in-stock vehicle include, but are not limited to:
- Worn interior trim panels (seat leather, door panels, buttons/knobs)
- Scheduled maintenance
- Components that are missing from the vehicle
- Wear components (brakes, tires, hoses, belts, etc.)
- Battery maintenance
- Battery replacement necessitated from the lack of use
- Interior and exterior cleaning and polishing
- Body panel adjustments
