New car out of budget? Maruti Suzuki's 65 lakh sales milestone has a surprise for buyers

Budget breakthrough

Dreaming of owning a Maruti Suzuki but can't afford a brand-new car? Your dream might still be within reach! Maruti Suzuki's True Value platform offers pre-owned cars to buyers looking for more affordable options. With demand for used cars growing, the company is betting that your next car doesn't necessarily have to be new.

Million milestone

65 lakh cars sold without being brand new! Maruti Suzuki says its True Value platform has sold more than 6.5 million pre-owned vehicles over the past 25 years. The company entered the used-car business in 2001, turning what was once an uncertain second-hand market into a major part of its automotive business.

Hidden network

Buying a used car no longer means searching endlessly through local dealers. Maruti Suzuki says True Value now operates 662 outlets across 338 Indian cities. From first-time buyers to families looking for an affordable upgrade, the growing network offers another route to car ownership. But what makes these vehicles different from ordinary used cars?

Trust test

A shiny used car can hide expensive problems. Maruti Suzuki says vehicles sold through True Value undergo evaluation and certification before reaching buyers. The company also checks documentation and service history. These checks aim to address some of the biggest concerns in the second-hand market, where a car's past can matter as much as its price.

Buyer favourites

Which second-hand Maruti cars are Indians buying the most? According to the company, the WagonR, Swift, Dzire, Baleno and Alto are among the most popular True Value models. Customers can also access financing through the platform, making it easier to spread the purchase cost. For budget-conscious buyers, the appeal goes beyond a lower price tag.
