Technology and globalization has made it possible for individuals to conduct transactions across the globe, from the comfort of their homes. One such area of business seeing a boom in the Ghanaian market is the import of foreign used vehicles from the West. This rapid liberalisation of the purchase process is in a large part facilitated by car classified websites. These websites have gone the extra mile and introduced car import services as part of their offering. One such website is Cheki Ghana.
Buying foreign used cars in Ghana can be frustrating, and sometimes outright dangerous. Many people have fallen victim to vehicle fraud and lost thousands of Ghana Cedis in the process. The geometric rise in number of imported cars into Ghana also makes it a particularly lucrative market for con-men who operate in the long value chain of the car import business.
According to figures from the Ghana Customs division of Ghana Revenue Authority, about 385,000 foreign used vehicles were imported into the country between 2012 and 2014. However, some car buyers and car enthusiasts are deterred from purchasing and importing affordable and great quality cars. Among other reasons are, low trust arising from increased online frauds and a convoluted import process that requires a lot of documentation, something that consumers and some dealerships cannot easily access. Additionally, the whole process of importing a car is complex and requires knowledge of international shipping and customs procedures. The high demand for foreign used vehicles has led to some dealerships and agents charging exorbitant prices for the services they render.
Introduction of car import services for individuals and car dealers by these classifieds sites is welcome news for all and sundry. One advantage of such a car import service is that if provided by one of Ghana’s most trusted brands, clients can be guaranteed of good quality cars and value for their money. The service reduces the hassle and tussle for car buyers while allowing buyers to access a huge variety of affordable and quality used cars. These cars are usually auctions in the USA and Canada.
Another advantage is that some of these providers have demonstrable capacity to offer a complete and seamless chain of import – related services. This involves assistance in bidding for affordable auction cars and transportation of the car(s).
