Chery’s Extra Peace of Mind package saves money in the long run

These are times of increasing financial challenges as the cost of living goes up. Thankfully, the government helps to keep petrol (RON95) and diesel prices at a certain level through subsidies. However, other motoring costs will continue to change with inflation (fortunately the monthly instalment on your H-P loan doesn’t!).

For those who intend to keep their car for many years, there is a way to protect against this inflation. This is the extended service maintenance that covers the cost of scheduled maintenance for a number of years. It’s a bit like insurance but unlike insurance where you hope you do not have to use it, extended service maintenance plans are used up and they actually save you money in the long run.

How does it work?
With an extended service package, you basically pay for certain service costs in advance. Yes, it costs some extra money but look at it this way: you are locking in parts and maintenance costs at today’s prices. When (not if) they go up in later years, you have already paid earlier – and at a lower rate.

Furthermore, you can include the cost of such packages as part of your H-P loan so it can also be repaid over many years.

Chery Malaysia offers such an extended service package for those who buy the OMODA 5 and Tiggo 8 Pro. Known as the Extra Peace of Mind Package and priced at RM11,600, the package covers  essential and scheduled maintenance. The price includes replaceables such as engine oil, oil filter, radiator coolant, brake fluid, air filter, spark plug, engine oil washer and transmission oil for the first 7 years.

Additionally, the Extra Peace of Mind package also includes a 10-year engine warranty (or maximum of 1 million kms) so you have nothing to worry about. All you really have to pay for is fuel, tyres, toll, parking fees and, of course, traffic fines.

Helps improve resale value too
Having the Extra Peace of Mind package can also add a bit more to the resale value, should you sell off the vehicle during the first 7 years as it is transferable to the next owner.
