The event offered attendees the chance to test-drive electric, gasoline, and diesel vehicles, compare their options, and interact with dealers on various aspects such as vehicle specifications, pricing, accessories, spare-parts availability, and other ownership-related considerations. Charles Addo, Director of Personal and Private Banking at Absa Bank Ghana LTD, remarked on the fair, stating, \"The enthusiasm we witnessed during the Absa Auto Fair indicates a robust demand for a more convenient route to vehicle ownership. At Absa Bank, we remain committed to offering affordable financing options that align with our customers' requirements.\" In addition to showcasing a vast array of vehicles, the fair enabled vehicle buyers to converse directly with dealers and automotive service providers.

Eligible customers could examine repayment terms extending up to 96 months, with interest rates based on each customer's credit profile.",
