 » Why Deal With A Member?
There are a number of reasons why you should deal with a member.
 
VACC Members:

    For instance VACC Automobile Dealers are:
  • Required to have a thorough knowledge of, and comply with, the provisions of the Motor Car Traders Act (1986) and Regulations.
  • Will warrant clear title to any vehicle sold to a consumer.
