Omar A. Balubaid Company Ltd. (Balubaid) launched its third GM Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles (GMCPOV) showroom and fourth new vehicle sales showroom in Haraj (Sawareekh Haraj) south of Jeddah. This addition expands the Balubaid network to include ten new vehicle showrooms and three GMCPOVs in the Western Region. Balubaid is the only GM dealer in Jeddah to house GMCPOV and has extended this program to match the demand for quality-driven, pre-owned affordable cars especially in the Haraj area. In the current global financial forecast, Balubaid management believes that customers will be keener to search for value-based vehicles and the GMCPOV is the answer to that call. GMCPOV is the industry's top selling manufacturer-certified used vehicles brand and the only one of its kind in Saudi Arabia. The GMCPOV offers a variety of GMC, Chevrolet and other top non-GM brands. Vehicles under the program are 2003 year of manufacture or newer, and do not exceed a mileage of 100,000kilometers. The program processes the vehicles through a 110-point inspection and reconditioning system, and are offered to buyers “as good as new” with a comprehensive warranty and free inspection after 1500km, irrespective of make and model year. The showroom is expected to sell more than 300 used cars annually. Urfi Siddique - manager, National Used Car, Balubaid Automotive Company, said: “Balubaid and General Motors are committed to not leaving behind the all important customers whose choices include pre-owened vehicles from the company.” The new vehicle showroom launched recently is the 4th Balubaid facility in Jeddah with the Sulemania, Rawdah and Baghdadiya branches being launched earlier this year. __
