Honda has rapidly expanded its Best Deal network footprint and is now covering 70 cities across 19 States of India. Honda added 55% of the network in last 2 fiscals itself and in just 3 years, Honda has already served over 45,000 pre-owned two-wheeler customers.
Elaborating on this milestone, Yadvinder Singh Guleria, Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd., said, “As a pioneer, Honda introduced the concept of Certified Pre-owned Outlets – Best Deal. This allows us to create more touch-points of interacting with customers and also tap into the huge potential that the pre-owned 2wheeler market offers. Our experience shows that the pre-owned industry is evolving very fast. The replacement cycle for 2wheeler has come down from 7-8 years to 3-5 years in a decade. With shrinking replacement cycle of the 2wheeler industry, Honda sees immense future potential in pre-owned 2wheeler retails and we are aggressively scaling up this business. We aim to double the Best Deal count to 200 outlets in the next 2 years.”

Through Best Deal, Honda is giving a credible and organized platform to earlier untapped category of 2Wheeler customers – (1) those who want to exchange their existing two-wheeler of any make for a brand new Honda two-wheeler, and (2) those customers who want to buy a refurbished and certified pre-owned Honda 2wheeler and seek the best deal in the market!
