As part of efforts to ease the ability of
actual and prospective customers to purchase the various existing brands under
the Coscharis franchise; Coscharis Motors Limited, in partnership with Stanbic
IBTC Bank and Access Bank, has launched a Vehicle Finance
Scheme, which is aimed at empowering retail and fleet buyers to
purchase their choice vehicles from any Coscharis Motors outlet nationwide through
payment by installment.
The Coscharis Group Managing Director,
Josiah Samuel said: “the scheme will allow a repayment pattern spread over a
period of four years with the option of a repayment percentage ranging from 10
– 30 percent within the period.”To the market, this scheme is unique in all
ramifications as it is a first in terms of partnering two of the leading banks
in Nigeria towards financing a vehicle acquisition scheme in collaboration with
a multi-brand dealership that provides the market a bouquet of premium and
economy auto brands.
In addition, the Group Managing Director
stated that “the need for the collaboration is informed by the following key
factors:
Many Corporate Nigerian workers including –
Small and Medium Scale Enterprises want new vehicles from Coscharis but have
inadequate financial capacity to effect outright payment.
Most of the SMEs buy fairly used vehicles
to run their businesses in order not to drain their working capital with the
cost of new vehicles.
Coscharis will require massive capital
investment and extensive Lead time to implement this initiative alone.
Access Bank and Stanbic IBTC are well
positioned to perform this financing role and have solid history in this
regard.
Customer Centric
He further added that among the four major
objectives for the scheme, the priority is to provide a convenient and cost
effective third party vehicle purchase finance to buy any of the Coscharis
brands.
The scheme which is a first by Coscharis
focuses on delivering customers satisfaction given its very low interest rate,
ease of accessibility to the banks, quick turnaround time for credit processing
at the banks and availability of myriads auto brands and variants for customers
to choose.
Tenure
For the first instance, the collaboration
will be operative for the duration of one year but renewable for a further one
year term thereafter or agreed otherwise.
Sales
The Vehicle Finance Scheme is projected to
generate a 2000 unit sale across all brands. However, the key attractions to
customers are the following benefits accruable in addition to the scheme: Free
Vehicle Registration, Vehicle maintenance and service support including vehicle
recovery and emergency assistance.
The scheme will be available in all
Coscharis networks including all the partnering banks networks nationwide.
