    Top 5 Tips to Protect your Luxury Cars Business

    In the world of motoring, there are certain brands that command the respect of even the layperson. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati: these are names synonymous with luxury. The vehicles attached to them tend to be enormously valuable. If your business is based around the purchase and sale of these vehicles, then you’re exposed to a particularly acute kind of risk.

    Fortunately, there are several ways of offsetting this risk. Let’s examine a few of them.

    Motor Trade Insurance

    Without the right insurance, any dealership is taking a big chance. Just as motorists in the UK are legally obliged to take out insurance, so too are dealerships in this country obliged to do likewise. Ideally, your motor trade insurance should be from a reputable insurer, with a track record of looking after vehicles of the sort you’re selling.

    Cover the vehicle

    We should also be concerned about cover in a more literal, physical sense. If your luxury cars are stored indoors, then they’ll be protected from the weather – whether it’s sunshine or rain. Covering your cars in dust cover will protect them against dust, rain, and general wear. Then, when you want to move a given vehicle to the showroom, you can be sure that they’ll look fantastic.

    Get Physical Security in Place

    For obvious reasons, luxury car dealerships are a tempting target for criminals. You can deter would-be thieves, and protect your staff, by putting in place a few simple security measures. Alarms, security cameras, and robust locking systems will all play a role in securing the premises. With the help of electronic access control, you might also eliminate the problems that come with physical keys – which can be copied or stolen.

    Take Housekeeping Seriously

    Your cars are going to be more difficult to sell if they’re covered in a thin layer of dust and grime. Consequently, it’s essential that they’re regularly treated to a full valet cleaning, which includes the interior and exterior of the vehicle. Set up a schedule for doing this, as it could make or break a given sale. 

    When your customers buy from you, they’re also buying into your business – as it’s through your business that all post-sale care and complaints will be routed. Make sure, therefore, that your premises and staff are just as presentable as the vehicles themselves.

    Hire a Lawyer

    When it comes to luxury cars, the stakes can be high. If you run into a legal dispute over a given vehicle, whether it’s a manufacturing defect or a test drive gone awry, then you’ll want specialised legal expertise on your side. Ideally, you should have the right people in place before the time comes to call on them.

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
