GAC Motors Nigeria and Cars45 organised a test drive of some of their smooth and exquisite cars recently with a promise to provide flexible funding options for interested buyers of their cars.
“It is possible for Nigerians to own brand-new cars using Cars45 competitive funding options. We are moving Nigerians from a space of having to wait for too long to own a new car. Our goal is to ensure that every home in Nigeria has a good car and our partnership with GAC will make sure that it happens,” said the PR and Marketing Head of Jiji Nigeria, Majolie Obaje, during the GAC Motors Nigeria and “Cars45 Test Drive Unlimited,” recently.
According to Obaje, Cars45 wants Nigerians to be able to buy cars with ease, and that GAC has a beautiful range of cars with exquisite technology and Cars45 will ensure that customers have a seamless buying experience.
She said the soaring inflation in Nigeria and high FX rates have increased the prices of imported vehicles such that dealers no longer import new cars as the previous ones sit in their showrooms longer because people are not buying cars.
She said customers that want to upgrade their old GAC cars can as well take the old cars to the over 70 Cars45 inspection centres in Nigeria to evaluate and sell the car to be able to buy a new one.
According to her, “We have also improved the turnaround time for selling used cars in Nigeria. In the past, it took a minimum of six weeks to sell used cars, but it has been brought down to 24 hours. That is the value that we bring as a brand, and we want people to be confident enough to go for a car of their choice.”
She advised Nigerians to take the opportunity provided by GAC which assembles cars locally to own new cars without fear.
The Marketing Manager of GAC Motors, Obong Etim Udoh said the test drive was to enable customers to experience the cars being showcased online on the Cars45 platform.
Udoh said, “GAC wants to ensure that Nigerians have a touch of the innovation that GAC brands have to offer because the range of cars is made of high-level technology to give Nigerians topmost satisfaction.”
The Sales Manager of GAC Motors, Olawale Akinwade said the buyers can be at ease as the company has a range of cars that are fuel efficient in line with the realities in Nigeria.
“GAC cars are usually built with a smaller engine which makes them consume less fuel. The company also has after sales services that ease sourcing of parts and repair of GAC cars in Nigeria,” he said.
