This is how Shazam works.

Key point: You have to reach a point where you tell yourself that you deserve the experience of owning and driving something new. If you have the financial capacity to, please make sure all your appliances, cars, equipments etc are brand new, the difference is always clear.

A simple and verifiable fact: a brand new, decent car, regardless of brand, will almost always be more reliable in its first few years than a used car that is already six or more years old. This is not unique to cars. It is true of almost every type of machinery. Many Nigerians understand this instinctively when it comes to generators. A new generator, even from a modest brand, will usually be far more reliable in its early years than a fairly old one, no matter how reputable that brand is. So when conversations about used cars versus new cars become overly emotional, it helps to return to this basic reality. Personally, I always advise our sales and marketing team not to spend energy trying to convince people who strongly prefer older used cars. They are simply not the target market for brand new vehicles. Introduce them to our vehicles, invite them to our events, and let them see how impressive the vehicles are, but do not pressure them to buy. In every part of the world, buying a brand new car is not just a financial decision. It is also a mental one. You have to reach a point where you tell yourself that you deserve the experience of owning and driving something new. In Nigeria today, the most natural market for brand new vehicles, whether assembled locally or imported from places like China, is people who currently buy fairly recent used cars, typically between one and five years old. Those who buy vehicles older than five years should not be pressured. Many of them will eventually move up over time through personal growth, improved financing access, or simply a stronger economy. My own small contribution to that future is continuing to build manufacturing businesses and expand auto financing so more people can gradually access brand new vehicles. Until then, it is important that we have these conversations with realism and respect for where people are in their journey.
