Absa Vehicle and Asset Finance has partnered with Cars.co.za to bring more qualified leads to South African dealers.
Absa Vehicle and Asset Finance and Cars.co.za recently embarked on a roadshow across South Africa to introduce dealers to a new way of getting high quality, qualified leads.

On initial approval, the customer is connected with the relevant dealer and given the option to finance their vehicle, with full control and commission remaining with the dealer.
