All systems go for the Standard Bank Auto Show!

Gerine Hoff
The Standard Bank Auto Show is one of the most highly profiled and popular events in the automobile industry and Standard Bank’s Head of Vehicle and Asset Finance Wim Lotter, says its is all systems go for the event on 8 and 9 July.
In this Q&A, Lotter (WL) says he is looking forward to another successful Standard Bank Auto Show this year.
Q: What are your expectations for this years’ Standard Bank Auto Show?
WL: Everything is ready for our Auto Show and given the success we had with the previous events, I am confident that we expect a spectacle this time around too. In total 32 motor dealers are exhibiting and besides the latest vehicles on display, we will also be showcasing the golden oldies. We are hoping to attract 20 000 visitors and our intention is to give exposure to our local dealers because it is always better to support our own. The Auto Show will again be held in partnership with the Biltongfees with whom we have had a long-standing relationship of over 20 years.
Q: What specials can the public look forward to?
WL: Standard Bank Namibia is pleased to announce that we will be offering all our vehicle buyers an interest rate of prime less 1.75 per cent rate at the auto show, or residual value of up 30 per cent and no deposit and 60 months to pay off you loan. Besides these specials, participating dealers will also be offering specials on their vehicles.
Q: What significance does the Auto Show have to Standard Bank Namibia clients and dealers?
WL: The Standard Bank Auto Show has become a popular event on the automobile industry calendar. Due to the great exposure, this is an ideal platform for Standard Bank Namibia to bring our customers face to face with the local dealerships. For our dealers this is great exposure for them to market their latest models, while comparing their products with each other. We want to give the local dealerships a platform to provide real specials deals to their customers over two days.
Q: Among the many visitors to the Auto Show will be first-time car buyers. What’s your advice to them?
WL: They should visit as many dealers as possible to have a wide range of choice when buying their first car. Also, they should think about how a particular vehicle will suit their lifestyle, performance and financial means.
Compare the vehicles and ask as many questions as possible to the dealers. Our Standard Bank consultants will be available for queries and information. The good news is that onsite credit approvals will made at the Auto Show together with the sales contracts.
Q: With days to go before the show, is there anything you would like to add?
WL: In short, I encourage the public to turn up in their numbers and support the Auto Show. It is not just a show for vehicle fanatics, but also a fun-filled time for the whole family. Our theme “Legacy Innovation” will give spectators a journey from the golden oldies right through to the latest and newest vehicle models. On a lighter note, what more can you ask for. You see the latest automobiles while eating mouth-watering biltong!
