George Nyemi-Tei, Brands manager for XODUS Communications, cautioned the general public about buying used cars with little information adding that such cars have no warranty.

He indicated that used cars stand the risk of developing major faults easily and in most cases, some car dealers lie to their customers to purchase a car to increase their gross profits and sale numbers.

"People who sell by the roadside are always in a haste to sell their cars and make their money and they don’t care about a lot of things. There’s no warranty attached to it. These used cars have been used outside countries for a long period of time, minimum 3yrs and they easily get faulty when purchased’’.

He urged the public to take advantage of such exhibitions to interact with the right car dealers in order to attain the right information about their choice of vehicles that come with reasonable terms and warranty.

On the sidelines of the exhibition, a cocktail dinner will be organized in the evening for all exhibitors and participants to interact with potential buyers and business partnerships.

The event is organised by XODUS Communications.
