MOTORING NEWS - Peugeot Citroën South Africa has introduced a "Guaranteed Future Value" programme, to encourage owners to upgrade their vehicles more often without incurring additional costs.
"The South African market is undergoing a shift in line with international trends where we see customers shifting from vehicle ownership to mobility. Although it is in its infancy in South Africa, we can already see this trend developing and obtaining traction.
"Our Guaranteed Future Value ensures that customers can drive a new Peugeot vehicle every few years without incurring unforeseen or additional costs," said Francisco Gaie, managing director of Peugeot Citroën South Africa.
Peugeot now offers an Assured Future Value (AFV) financial agreement called Motion Finance, which is a product of WesBank.
"In today's world of mobility, we understand that customers are looking for peace of mind when it comes to financing their vehicles," said marketing manager Dineo Mofokeng. "With Motion Finance, Peugeot Citroën South Africa guarantees customers the future value of their vehicles."
Gaie acknowledged the concerns and gave his assurance that he would do everything possible to give an improved offering.
"We believe our GFV programme is a step in the right direction and will change the perceptions on Peugeot's trade-in value," he said.
The new future value programme will be rolled out on the Peugeot 208 Active model and subsequently across the range.
"We are positive that customers will welcome the introduction of the programme, which will encourage them to replace their vehicle at the conclusion of their three-year warranty," Gaie said.
