When buying, selling, trading-in or servicing a vehicle, everyone wants a hassle free, smooth experience and to deal with someone we know we can trust.
Buying a car is a particularly important decision and ensuring you get a good reliable vehicle can be a daunting task – especially when buying a used car.
motus.cars offers a new progression to the car shopping journey and all things “car” are certainly not new to the brand. Previously known as Imperial, the group has been around since 1948 and is a trusted automotive brand in South Africa as well as abroad.
motus.cars, supported by Motus Nissan (previously Imperial Select), breaks down the Motus Promise:
The aim of motus.cars is to allow customers to shop new car models from 25 OEMs and compare vehicles all in one place. They can then complete the process by applying for finance and having the vehicle delivered at their nearest dealership, all from the comfort of their computer or smartphone.
The Motus Promise
Most people in the market to purchase a used car indicate that the following are important:
- Access to reliable advice from a trusted person
- A good selection of vehicles to choose from
- A guarantee that the car is not stolen or been rebuilt
- The ability to find out the accurate history of the vehicle
Many want to skip the middleman and go directly to the owner himself, meeting him face-to-face and having the ability to get accurate first-hand information and agree on a fair price.
On the other hand, many people are not comfortable purchasing a car privately as this comes with safety risks and the potential to be scammed. The great thing is – both preferences can easily be met by purchasing your next used vehicle through a reputable automotive aggregator, such as motus.cars.
All Motus Certified vehicles come with the following promise:
Total transparency
- All motus certified vehicles need to have a full-service history to be certified
- No odometer tampering
- Consumers will have access to reliable advice from a trusted person and an expert in the field
- There will be no middleman
- Consumers can be safe in the knowledge they are dealing with a reputable automotive aggregator
Guarantees
- Guaranteed not stolen or rebuilt
- Inspected and guaranteed
- All Motus cars come with a spare tyre (where applicable), spare keys and owner’s manual
- No outstanding finance or insurance issues
- Fully valeted and sanitised
- Not every car has what it takes to become a Motus car and certain criteria need to be met from the state of the exterior to interior condition and mileage
- Certified and trusted mechanics and approved workshops
- We own our cars, so we can guarantee the quality
