Jaguar Land Rover Korea on Thursday opened a secondhand car exhibition at its auto gallery in Yangjae-dong, southern Seoul, to sell used cars that have been quality-certified by the British luxury carmaker.

This is the first used car sales business in the Asia-Pacific region for the prestige automotive company.

“Having the Asia-Pacific’s first used car exhibition gallery proves the importance of the South Korean market for Jaguar Land Rover,” said David McIntyre, managing director of Jaguar Land Rover Korea.

“We will provide all services equivalent to those for new cars in order to nurture the certified used car market. I believe this could become a world standard,” he said.

Every car in the gallery has passed 165 technical examinations by Jaguar Land Rover Korea technicians, on top of a driving test and a service record analysis, the company said. Free after-sales service for the first 100,000 kilometers or a two-year warranty will be guaranteed to all customers.

The company also arranges financial consulting including inheritance of the lease program and others.

The showroom can hold up to 10 cars. It is operated by KCC Automobile, an official dealer of Jaguar Land Rover.
