Produkta Motors, a well-known local company that has been part of the Lowveld landscape for more than 30 years, has opened an all-new InspectaCar pre-owned vehicle dealership in Nelspruit.
“The opportunity to trade as an independent, pre-owned vehicle dealer, with access to quality pre-owned stock under the flag of InspectaCar, prompted us to partner with the franchise. We are excited about this partnership and look forward to its success.” says PD Terblanche, the Dealer Principal.
The dealership will not only be selling quality pre-owned cars, it will also offer InspectaCar’s unique one-stop-shop experience, which includes finance, insurance, warranties, value-added products such as scratch and dent cover as well as a service plan that is unique to InspectaCar.
Commenting at the opening, Pertunia Sibanyoni, CEO of InspectaCar, said “InspectaCar franchises have experienced a steep increase in interest from consumers looking to purchase used vehicles. Coupled to this demand, it is heartening to see an increased interest in ownership of pre-owned vehicle dealerships. InspectaCar is the only used car franchise that is certified by WesBank. Having the support of a financial services industry giant allows for any new dealership to offer its customers InspectaCar’s one-stop-shop benefits.
Working alongside Terblanche will be Kenneth Braye as Sales Manager. Terblanche’s knowledge of the retail automotive industry spans 18 years, and Kenneth’s experience covers an impressive 23 years. The duo are confident that with their combined deep understanding of the retail automotive industry, their contribution to the dealership will be advantageous.
“Our Franchisees have a formidable head start with the WesBank brand backing them,” says Sibanyoni. “Add preferential InspectaCar Finance to the mix, and we are living our brand promise of “second-hand will never feel second best”, making InspectaCar a very strong contender for any used car buyer.
“We are honoured that Produkta Motors has chosen InspectaCar to represent its brand in the Mpumalanga market," says Sibanyoni. "We look forward to working with them to dramatically increase InspectaCar’s presence in the area,” concludes Sibanyoni.
