Success is when opportunity meets preparedness. While a lot of us are crying because of the non-performing economy, some have managed to salvage the situation and they are thriving in a clean manner. Nothing sinister, nothing criminal, just good old hard work. How, you may ask, well, according to some philosophers, in most cases, you will succeed mainly or simply because of people you will meet accidentally. That person you exchanged numbers with on the plane, that person you clicked with and spoke to at the salon etc will probably help you more than the person you have known for decades.
It is true Zimbabwe is a cash economy, it is also true that getting financing to buy a car with the majority of adults being out of formal work is tricky. However, as alluded to above, success is when opportunity meets preparedness. A few dealers in the country are offering schemes similar to what others call car financing or buying cars on credit. You increase your chances of owning a good car outright if you prepare for it now and build a relationship with these dealers with the hope that at some point, you might get a chance to walk away with the car you’ve been paying for without fully paying for but with a commitment to pay for it till your debt is cleared.
These are some of the dealers you can approach in case you want a car and talk to them:
- Panjap Motors. the home of luxury vehicles. If you ever dreamt of owning a luxury car, you should make Panjap Motors your favourite people or have them on speed dial or worship the ground they walk on etc (hope you catch my drift) the point im trying to make is, that your chances of owning the car faster than anticipated increases when you talk to Panjap Motors. The friendly personnel at Panjap Motors will take you through the buying process and you can negotiate your payment terms depending on your income and strike a deal. Bottomline is, these guys are the real mavericks when it comes to getting you to the table and delivering what you want.
- Faramatsi Motors – Faramatsi Motors mainly sells brand-new nice Toyota Flagship cars. They usually require 60% of the book value of the car upfront and then you work on finishing the balance in a way that’s comfortable to you. You can speak to them about the initial deposit and it’s always good to build a relationship with such dealers because as alluded to above, chance meetings and arrangements sometimes give birth to the most beautiful and most powerful stories.
- Croco Motors – these guys have been in the game for too long and they are open-minded to the core. It’s easy to get your foot at their doorstep and be lent an ear by them. Take a chance and speak to them if and when you want a car because believe you me, they are in the business to win.
In the end, you’re better off approaching these reputable brands when looking for flexible terms because going elsewhere is always a risk that you might not want to take.
