NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The INFINITI Q50 sports sedan and Q70 performance luxury sedan both placed among the top models within their respective segments in the J.D. Power 2018 U.S. Resale Value Awards.
The experts at J.D. Power evaluated 244 vehicle models using a sample of over 650,000 transactions with an average of 3,500 data points assessed on each vehicle. The award selection process takes used vehicle wholesale prices – based on wholesale records from January through June 2018 for vehicles that are three years old – and divides them by the vehicle's original purchase price.
"At INFINITI, we make it a priority to ensure that each vehicle will stand the test of time, offering lasting value and quality, and we are honored to be recognized in J.D. Power's Resale Value Awards," said Jennifer Moser, Director Pre-Owner Strategy and Sales, INFINITI USA. "Through our Certified Pre-Owned program, we are able to give owners peace of mind knowing that their vehicle will continue to perform like new through every mile driven in its lifetime."
The brand's Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program provides buyers with the exceptional experience of owning an INFINITI vehicle at a pre-owned value, combined with the peace of mind of having passed a rigorous 167-point inspection and up to six years unlimited mileage warranty. The INFINITI CPO benefits include complimentary first year basic maintenance, emergency roadside assistance, complimentary service courtesy vehicle and more. Service and warranty repairs are available through over 200 retailers nationwide, all delivering the INFINITI Total Ownership Experience, the philosophy and commitment to customer satisfaction.
