Perodua will reintroduce their used-car business that being operate two years ago. Managing director, Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh said ‘ the process of recruiting the right people both internally and externally’ to start the used-car operations to complement its new car business.
“Perodua currently does not have that (used-car business) expertise. Our expertise is more in the new car business. Hopefully we will be able to start off on a much better footing by the middle of this year,” he told SunBiz in an interview.
Perodua make first used car segment in August 2008 but ceased the operations two years later due to low volume sales.
