Applying for finance can be a daunting task; luckily I am here to help each client streamline this process by providing on the floor expert advice and assistance. Brokering the best possible deal on behalf of every one of our clients ensures a definite sale for the dealer, but most importantly a happy return client for many years to come. Some of the benefits of financing through the dealer, instead of tackling this task on your own, include, but are not limited to:

1. As the F&I manager I am an expert in the field, I deal with vehicle and asset finance on a daily basis, meaning that I am best equipped to answer any questions you may have
2. Each client’s situation is unique, so I offer tailored advice on the structuring of your finance, as well as providing insurance options relevant to each of your specific needs
3. I will take the hard work out of applying and negotiating with the banks by submitting a single application to all of the banks. Whereas the alternative is for you as the client to complete time consuming applications online to each of the banks.
4. I work hard to obtain quotes from different banks in order for you to make an informed decision, this way we have some extra bargaining power in terms of interest rate.

But the benefits do not stop there, when I apply for finance on your behalf, I will assist with advice on the below main factors that need careful consideration when structuring your tailor-made deal:

The structure of the transaction

• Deposit (paying a deposit reduces your monthly repayment)
• Fixed versus linked interest rate (in the low interest rate cycle, most customers are opting for fixed rates)
• The contract period (remember that a longer period reduces the monthly instalments but attracts more interest)
• Balloon payment (Although balloon payments reduce your monthly repayments and attracts more interest, it allows you to buy what you really want, and being able to afford it)

Value added insurance products

• We offer a range of insurance products that cover both the car (warranties, service and maintenance plans) as well as yourself (death, disability and retrenchment cover), depending on your personal situation, as well as the vehicle you will be purchasing.

It would be in every prospective buyer’s interest to make use of this value added service offered by CMH Haval Little Falls Roodepoort! Contact me today for friendly assistance and expert advice. Credit: Elzaan Kleynhans- CMH Haval Little Falls- Roodepoort F&I Manager

On September 29, a brand-new Haval H6 broke cover at an extravagant launch and test-drive event held in Odessa, a coastal city in the Ukraine. With over 300 guests attending the event, including top local business decision makers, automobile industry representatives, media and press, as well as future potential customers were also present. Even in this picturesque setting the brand-new Haval H6 still succeeded in captivating the guests with its gorgeous ergonomics and glamorous appearance.

The General Manager of the Bogdan Group, the Ukrainian dealer of Haval, unveiled the brand-new Haval H6, already steadfast in the global SUV market as one of the world’s top ten best-selling SUVs. The brand new model stands true to the classic Haval stylistic appearance showing off its dynamic and fashionable lines through the now unmistakable double straight and rising waist lines as well as the upward approaching rear window and tail styling.

As part of the launch event, over 90 prospective customers and more than 20 media members were invited to participate in a test-drive event for the brand-new Haval H6 at the ultra-modern Vzletka test-drive facility in Odessa. The combination of the 1.5 GDIT power plant and the seven speed DCT gearbox, proved to be a perfectly harmonious marriage matched only by the excellent cornering ability offered by the front McPherson independent suspension and rear double cross arm independent suspension. The brand new H6 performed strongly on the varied surfaces offered by the facility such as sand, muddy ground and highways. A prospective owner of the brand-new H6 attending the event said that he was extremely satisfied with the cutting-edge active safety configurations of the brand-new H6, excellent behaviour in traffic as well as the extremely refined seven speed DCT. He went on to say, “I fell in love the new H6 the instant I sat in the driver’s seat and after driving it I feel even more in love with this amazing motor vehicle. I want one.”

As the third country globally and the first European country launching the brand-new H6 outside China, Ukraine has a significant and strategic importance for the overseas expansion of Haval. In 2018, the global auto market gradually grew. While the leader of Chinese brands challenged the high-end brands as well as the leading brands in Japan and South Korean, Haval has not stopped their onslaught of the global auto market, taking root in more than 20 major countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia and striving to establish a world-class SUV brand.

On October 18, the Quito Auto Show was opened in grandeur at Cemexpo – the equatorial monument in Ecuador. As GWM’s dealer in Ecuador, Ambacar brought Haval and GWM brands to attend the auto show independently and exhibited Haval H1, H2, H5, H6 sports edition and the H9 as well as the GWM pickup range. It also took this opportunity to release the brand-new Haval H6 and showcase this popular model.

During the launch ceremony, Mr Pietro, General Manager of Ambacar introduced the brand-new Haval H6. The brand-new Haval H6 continues the tremendous presence and power of Haval brand. Due to its unique and all new aesthetic design, technological advances and intelligent configurations, newly designed “armour safety system” and the luxuriously comfortable “fluid texture” cabin, the H6 completely surpasses its rivals in the same class.

Built on a brand-new platform, the all new Haval H6 integrates upgraded power, safety, design and technology. This new-generation Haval H6 adopts the very latest powertrain in the form of 2.0 GDIT or 1.3GDI direct injection derivatives together with a seven speed DCT wet dual clutch creating a successful combination of power output and fuel economy and it was equipped with an advanced suspension system creating superior handling performance on the high altitude and mountainous roads.

During the presale period before the official launch in Ecuador, the brand-new Haval H6 had reported a sales volume of 36 units sold in September alone, indicative of the fact that the new Haval H6 has already gained the respect and faith among the local customers as well as in the market place. Strengthening and compounding the already formidable reputation that the Haval brand holds since the brand was launched in Ecuador.

Ecuador is the fourth country outside of China and the first country in the Americas in which the brand-new Haval H6 has been launched, an important milestone for the overseas market layout of Haval. The local dealer wisely viewed the Auto Show as a good chance to further practice the core globalization strategy of GWM, continuing to expand the American market and develop Haval as the most reliable Chinese car brand in Ecuador.

With clear intentions of being a global LCV leader.

On September 28th, GWM Pickup Truck announced China’s leading LCV brand’s determination to reach its goal of being in the top three LCV brands in the world. At the launch event, Great Wall Motors announced its vision of being “China’s No. 1 pickup brand, building No. 1 choice for Chinese consumers, and finally making GWM one of the world’s top three pickup brands”. To do this, GWM released the “Six-Star Strategy” to ramp up their efforts in upgrading the brand and open a new era for GWM Pickup Truck. Steed 7, a brand-new premium high-end pickup model, also made an appearance at the launch.

Pickup, was announced as the next big thing following SUV at this strategy conference, GWM Pickup Truck, as the segment leader, interpreted the development trend of pickup in China and the world, showing its vision for the future and their strong sense of responsibility to the segment.

Globally, pickup has always been one of the most popular and largest sales segments and the most active base for a car loving culture. However, sales volumes of pickup vehicles in China only account for about 1.3% of the total market due to policy restrictions. With the deregulation of the policy and more encouraging circumstances, the Chinese domestic pickup market is bound to release its huge potential. The market potential, consumer demands and deregulation are accelerating a turning point in the industry. It is no doubt a significant strategic opportunity for GWM Pickup Truck whose track record boasts multiple industrial milestones with their stand out achievement being “No. 1 selling pickup for 20 consecutive years”.

The Vice President of GWM and General Manager of the sales company, Li Ruifeng said, “From now, GWM Pickup Truck will officially become an independent sub-brand to support GWM’s specialized brand matrix together with HAVAL, WEY and ORA. In the next 3 years,

GWM Pickup Truck will launch “5+N” key products to firstly step into the Pickup 3.0 and 4.0 eras, which is characterized by utilization, connectivity, electrification, customization and intelligence, constructing a ‘5-pillar New Ecology’ for pickups. Meanwhile, GWM Pickup

Truck will focus on exploring the international market through more localized measures, so as to realize globally engineered, globally manufactured and globally shared products.”

GWM Pickup Truck will explore its limitless value as a “Vehicle for life and all-purpose vehicle for family” to the full extent and to develop the “pickup+” concept and distinctive “Chinese pickup culture”. It will assist in developing China’s first vehicle for livelihood as well as be China’s first pickup brand to comprehensively lead from trend to strategy and make itself one of the world’s top three pickup brands.

Promoting the brand to lead the way, the “Six-Star Strategy” couldn’t arrive at a more perfect time as for the long-term vision and goal of “China’s No. 1 and one of the world top three pickup brands”. GWM Pickup Truck has adapted and upgraded its strategy and launched the “Six-star Strategy” aiming at leading the industry in 6 aspects like production, product planning, dealer network, customer service, marketing and overseas exploration.

Strategy I: South+north layout. In terms of manufacturing, GWM Pickup Truck will continue to optimize the Baoding Plant as a production base and speed up the construction of the new plant in Chongqing Yongchuan to form a production layout running through the north and the south of China. A flexible production line with advanced technology is deployed in Chongqing Plant which will become a model plant practicing a concept of green and environmentally friendly operations. Strategy II: Leading products. Currently, pickup is in the transitory stage from 2.0 era to 3.0 era. In the next 3 years, GWM Pickup Truck will launch “5+N” brand-new products and take the

lead in entering the pickup 3.0 era featuring “multifunction, electrification, connectivity and customization”. During this same period, GWM’s R&D work related to pickup of 4.0 era and 5.0 era will steadily progress in parallel to these efforts. Strategy III: Peace of mind service. GWM Pickup Truck has optimized its services in peace of mind selection, peace of mind purchase, peace of mind ownership and peace of mind driving, covering the entire lifecycle from car selection to utilization. Strategy IV: “5+e” channel. Based on the channel exploration on new consumption and new transaction form, GWM Pickup Truck has suggested creating online and offline car purchase channels and build a “5+e” sales channel to provide a convenient way of purchasing a vehicle for customers.

Strategy V: Diversified marketing. Considering the customer’s demand for diversification and multifunction, GWM Pickup Truck will offer customized products and corresponding sales service modes according to the needs of different customers. Strategy VI: 1-6-4 Overseas strategy. “1” refers to one goal – continuing to strengthen its leading position as China’s pickup brand overseas; “6” refers to its planning structure in 6 key overseas markets that will continue to consolidate its market positions in Australia, South America, Middle East and Southern Africa, as well as exploring markets in South Asia, and North Africa whilst improving the comprehensive layout in the overseas market, becoming the pioneer among Chinese brands in “The Belt and Road Initiative”; “4” means 4 leading aspects, i.e. leading product, leading sales, leading brand and leading service. Steed 7 is another major model mainly targeting the middle and high-end markets, with the core customers being multi-purpose pickup truck users. With fashionable styling, interior and latest technology and features, benchmarking security and class leading quality, Steed 7 is poised to be the most competitive model in the current target market.

As the first model after the launch of the distribution of “5+N” products and the new strategy of GWM Pickup Truck, Steed 7 shows the future development direction of GWM Pickup Truck. By focusing on the 5-pillar new ecology of pickup truck, Steed 7 has many “black technologies” and brand-new upgraded configurations with super-powerful product strength. It is the most epitomized model of GWM Pickup Truck at present.

eanwhile, in order to continue and show the quality and strength of the 20-year top seller, GWM Pickup Truck has built the flagship special edition of Steed 7, with exclusive sky-blue body colour, special logo and flagship mark. It is reported that Steed 7 and the special edition will be officially released within this year.

Moreover, GWM Pickup Truck has been awarded the certificate of “The Most Influential Brand of Independent Automobile Products during the 40-year Reform and Opening-up” by China Auto Brand Research Centre. The new logo of GWM Pickup Truck was also launched at the conference. Under the guidance of the new strategy GWM Pickup Truck will keep being at the forefront of new developments and global markets.

Since the birth of GWM Pickup Truck, its domestic sales have been No. 1 for 20 consecutive years, claiming 33% of the total domestic market share. GWM pickups have been exported to more than 100 countries all over the world. It is also the only pickup truck brand, with annual sales exceeding 100,000 and amount of sales exceeding 10 billion…… There is no doubt that GWM Pickup Truck, which has created many legends in the industry, is the market leader of China’s pickup trucks! The brand promises to carry forward its position of strength and remain as China’s leading LCV brand. With the continuous advancement of new strategies, GWM will soar to even greater heights in the future!
