“This is the first time that we are extending this opportunity to a reputable car dealer who has traded with us for a while to own a franchise lot where all the values that undergird our operations are extended to this new setup.’’

Also, the CFO, Cars45, Olajide Adamolekun, restated Carsbazr’s grand vision to make cars affordable and available to the Nigerian populace.

“As a milestone on our journey to be the gold standard for the automotive industry in Nigeria, we have recently partnered with CFAO Motors to push their new Suzuki cars to market.

“We pay careful attention to customer service qualities and ensure that we deliver peerless experiences to all consumers,’’ he said.

On the significance of the launch, Adamolekun said that “car dealers and end-users can now have access to a rich variety of cars that have been properly verified and checked, accompanied by a standard inspection report.

“What we are bringing to the market isn’t just availability but access to cars with the right information such that consumers can make the right decision.’’

The opening attracted community leaders, top ranking business officials and Cars45 dealers.

The special guest at the event, CFO ProvidusBank, Adeoye Ojuroye, noted that Cars45 had been able to create an opportunity for people to dream and earn a means of livelihood beyond selling cars.

“When people earn a living, it means that we can do much more — support families, communities and achieve our dreams.

CEO HCS Autos, said the franchise beneficiary, Kunle Kosile, noted that Cars45 had given opportunities to a lot of young people in Nigeria and built a solid marketplace for buying and selling cars.

“I have partnered with them for a while and I can attest to the value they have brought to the market.

“This inaugural launch is just a tip of the ice-berg and I expect the franchise lots to exceed the set target of 50 before the end of the year.’’

Carsbazr currently has its operations spread across Lekki, Ikeja, Ikorodu, Oshodi and Amuwo Odofin areas of Lagos, Ibadan, Kano, Port-Harcourt and Abuja.

With a rich bouquet of products which includes dealer financing that has empowered many cars dealers to increase their transaction volumes, Cars45 has been hailed as the indispensable company that encapsulates the ecosystem of verified used cars in Nigeria. (NAN)
