Core Standard 2 - Nissan South Africa
Introduction to the Edge 2009 Programme Attention: Dealer Principal / Franchise Director / Main Shareholder Starting the 1st of April 2009 Nissan South Africa has introduced the EDGE 2009 Programme. This programme has replaced the EDGE 2008 programme after a 1 year period and is designed for increased simplicity and competitiveness in the current market environment. The major change is that CSI no longer forms part of the EDGE Programme and is replaced with a Core Standard relating to Customer Complaints. How does the 2009 EDGE programme work? The Nissan Edge Programme maintains its two main functions: inputs and outputs as well as 4 steps, summarised as follows: STEP 1 Basic Franchise Standards (Inputs) The programme consists of 2 basic franchise standards. This replaces the previous CSI PreQualification step which no longer applies. A dealership has to comply with both standards in order to be eligible for participation in any other aspects of the programme i.e. Steps 2, 3 and 4 below. THE 2 BASIC FRANCHISE STANDARDS ARE AS FOLLOWS: Basic Franchise Standard 1: Dealer Agreement and RVI Basic Franchise Standard 2: Franchise Sharing and Management Capacity 1 STEP 2 Core Standards (Inputs) To be eligible for the 1% Core Standard payout, a dealership has to comply with all 10 core standards. THE 10 CORE STANDARDS ARE AS FOLLOWS: Core Standard 1: Dealer Financial Reporting Core Standard 2: Accurate (Contactable) Customer Reporting Core Standard 3: Customer Complaint Factor (CCF) Core Standard 4: Dealer Management System and IT Standards Core Standard 5: Dealer Customer Management System (DCMS) Core Standard 6: After-Sales – Dealer Operating Standards (DOS) Core Standard 7: Sales – Dealer Operating Standards (DOS) Core Standard 8: After Sales Training and Certification Core Standard 9: Sales Training and Certification Core Standard 10: Marketing and RVI STEP 3 Operating Results (Outputs) Upon achieving compliance of the Basic Franchise Standards the following operating results will be measured to calculate the payouts: - All 10 Core Standards must be achieved in order to receive the 1% Core Standard payout. New Vehicles Sales Achieved to Target measured, as before, on a 3 month roll. After Sales Business Plan Management programme (ASBPM). Note: CSI and Used Vehicle Purchases no longer form part of the EDGE Programme. 2 STEP 4 Payouts Dealers must be compliant on both Basic Franchise Standards in order to be eligible to receive any payouts as explained below. Monthly Payment Basic Franchise and Core Standards* New Vehicle Sales Target Achievement** at 100% New Vehicle Sales Target Achievement** at 110% + = = = 1.00% 1.50% 2.00% *Percentage of basic retail price (excluding VAT) ** % of new vehicle wholesale price x retail volume Please note: A Consistency bonus has been included on the New Vehicle Sales Target Achieved. Dealers that performed consistently throughout the calendar year (starting with 2009) will be back paid for months they have not made their New Vehicle Sales Target. In addition, Quarterly Payment (Calendar Quarter) AS-BPM achievement = 0.5% of the Parts Quarterly Purchase Value Core Standard (Input) payments and New Vehicle Sales vs. Target/ASBPM (Output) payments are not linked. In other words, the achievement of either is not conditional for a payment to take place on the other. Therefore total monthly payment of 3.00% can be achieved + 0,5% of Parts quarterly purchases (paid quarterly). All of the above is explained in more detail further in the document and will be effective from 1st of April 2009. Please take note that Nissan reserves the right to make any alterations to the programme at any time in the future and will communicate changes to the dealer network well in advance. Nissan may also decide to phase-in certain (new) aspects of the programme and you will be informed accordingly. Should you require any further clarity, please raise these concerns with your APM or SPM. Alternatively you can also raise any EDGE related queries to Joey McCall-Peat (011 529 6000) It is however important to remember that the rules and standards of the EDGE Programme form an addendum to the main Dealer Franchise Agreement but do not in any way replace and/or substitute any other standards as defined in the Franchise Agreement or elsewhere. 3 STEP 1 – BASIC FRANCHISE STANDARDS Basic Franchise Standard 1 – Dealer Agreement and RVI A. Dealer Agreement All dealers are required to have signed and submitted to NSA the latest Dealer Agreement available. B. RVI All dealers are required to have signed and submitted to NSA a Retail Visual Identity Agreement and implemented the accompanying architectural RVI plan accordingly. The dealer must at all times comply with this or a later approved NSA plan. 4 Basic Franchise Standard 2 – Franchise Sharing and Management Capacity This standard was advised through Dealer Development bulletin DD 2007-4, communicated on the 28th of May 2007 and Dealer Development bulletin NIS DD3 issued on 23 February 2009. For ease of reference these bulletins have been attached to the manual (See Section 6 – Attachment A). Kindly take note: With further reference to the attached bulletins please note that in certain cases of Renault franchise sharing NSA may agree by strict exception and at NSA’s and RSA’s sole discretion, to allow certain exceptions relating to Renault. Such exceptions must be approved in writing by the Sales/Marketing Directors of both Companies. 5 STEP 2 – CORE STANDARDS Core Standard 1 – Dealer Financial Reporting This core standard views the financial status of a dealership and is a combination of two items namely Audited Balance Sheet and Sewells Financial Reporting. Failing either of the two items will result in failure of this core standard. A. Audited Balance Sheet All dealers are to submit an audited balance sheet to NSA Marketing Finance, within 6 months of the dealers‟ financial year-end. B. Sewells Financial Reporting (also known as ADI or ESOS Reporting) The dealer must report accurate information regularly and timeously on the ESOS information system. Dealers are to submit their monthly financial results to ESOS by th the 15 of each succeeding month in the required format. This will be monitored directly by NSA on a monthly basis. Sewells will be applying the following quality gates to check the quality of your financial submissions: A complete list of these gates is included under Section 6 – Attachment B. The Trial Balance must be in balance. The Asset Activity must be a positive figure. (Asset Activity is defined as the ratio between the total sales and the total operating assets). Total sales must not be negative (i.e. must be a credit balance). 6 Total gross profit must not be greater than total sales. Total expense must not be negative (i.e. must be a debit balance). If a figure is reported for New Vehicle Sales, these MUST also be units reported. If a figure is reported for Used Vehicle Sales these MUST also be units reported. Service hours sold MUST be reported. Number of repair orders MUST be reported. Service hours available MUST be reported. The Rand values of the Parts Aging MUST agree in total to the Balance Sheet value for Parts Inventory. Failure to comply with these quality gates will in fact result in the submission being rejected by the Sewells system and thus the result will be that the dealer will not have reported. Further quality gates may be added from time to time. 7 Core Standard 2 – Accurate (Contactable) New Vehicle Sales and Service Customer Reporting NSA has re-introduced the Customer Quality gates as a core standard; new vehicle sales and service customer‟s information will be measured against certain quality standards. All dealers‟ data will be stored confidentially and will not be shared with other dealers/parties without dealer consent. Why do we require data to this standard? To make contact with customers as and when necessary to promote the Nissan Brand and this will result in customer retention and conquest. From time to time we also have a legal obligation to inform customer of any issues that may arise. A record that adheres to the quality gates mean that all the required fields are completed correctly. NSA will contact each new vehicle customer. Successful contacts will be measured. The following table consists of the quality gates from which the dealership‟s customer information will be collected by NSA directly off your Automate DMS system. NISSAN EDGE TARGET (Percentage records to be verified as correct) GATE DESCRIPTION OBJECTIVE 1 Format: Sales and Service All sales must be recorded on the Automate DMS system. The following fields must be completed correctly, i.e. NSA must get a successful contact for a dealership to receive 100% for a record. 2 Quality: Sales and Service Title Initial Surname Cellular number Customer e-mail address Delivery Date (Sales) Service Date (Service) Model 75% - April‟09 to September‟09 80% - October‟09 to March‟10 85% - April‟10 to September‟10 90% - October‟10 to March‟11 For additional explanation on the Quality gates, the different Nissan model codes and benefits of quality service and sales data, refer to attachment at the back of this manual (see Section 6 – Attachment C) 8 Core Standard 3 – CCF (Customer Complaints Factor) Replacing the previous CS (Customer Satisfaction) measurement, the CCF (Customer Complaints Factor) is directed in measuring the quantity of customer complaints received by each dealership on a monthly basis. The detail of the standard was advised through bulletin NIS E14, take notice below of the bulletin details: DEALER BULLETIN BULLETIN NO: NIS E14 DATE ISSUED 31- 03 - 2009 DATE EFFECTIVE 01- 04 - 2009 CONFIDENTIAL SUBJECT Edge 2009 – Introduction of Customer Complaints Factor (CCF) and Discontinuation of the Customer Satisfaction Measure. Attention: Dealer Principals, Franchise Heads, Regional Manager, Sales Performance Managers & Aftersales Performance Managers Due to the severe economic environment currently experienced, Nissan South Africa (NSA), in consultation with the Dealer Body, has decided to replace the Customer Satisfaction (CS) measure with the CCF. We believe this new measure to be cost effective, accurate and flexible. Current statistics indicate that more dealers achieve this criterion as compared to the CS Overall Satisfaction measure. The CCF process is simple. It starts when a customer logs a complaint at the Nissan Call Centre. All dealer complaints for the month are aggregated and converted into an index, called the CCF. Known Product and Parts related issues will be excluded from the calculation, except in cases where the customer interaction was poor from the Dealers side. 9 Definitions: A known Product issue is only recognised upon NSA‟s TCS Department releasing an official communication. A Parts issue will only be recognised upon the dealer ordering the part for the correct application, using the correct procedure, within the proper timelines which still results in incorrect or non-supply. Target Score: The CCF is a core standard and as a result compliance by a dealership is necessary in order to receive the 1% core standard payout. The target score is seven (7) or lower. The CCF formula: CCF = Number of complaints for the month X 100 Average monthly sales over the last 12 months The Appeal Process Queries are to be channelled through the respective NSA field staff (Regional Office). This query would then be referred to the process owner for a decision. Dealers that have lost monies due to a product problem prior to it being classified as a „known product issue‟ can reclaim such monies provided that the following criteria has been met at the time of the customer interaction: A Technical Report (TR) has been raised All technicians have been trained to the prevailing requirement In possession of prescribed diagnostic equipment In possession of the required special tools. If the dealer is not satisfied with the outcome of the appeal, it then gets referred to the Edge Committee, which convenes on a quarterly basis, for a decision. The Motor Industry Ombudsman (MIO) will be the final arbiter. All costs associated with regard to consulting the MIO will be borne by the party that loses the appeal. Discontinuation of the CS Measure The CS measure will remain effective until the end of March 2009. From the 1st of April 2009 the CCF measure will become effective. NSA‟s CS department closes down at the end of March 2009. However, queries raised with NSA will still be attended to until the 20th of April 2009. We trust that the Nissan Dealer network afford the same high level of commitment on the CCF as was afforded to the CS measure and thereby reap the associated benefits. 10 Kind regards The Edge Committee Originator Dept: Customer Support Centre Originator Designation: Senior Manager Department Issued by: J Labotsky Department Manager’s Designation: Senior Manager: Customer Contact Centre 11 Core Standard 4 – Dealer Management System and IT Standards Dealer Management System The only DMS approved by NSA is Automate. As was advised with the previous Edge programmes, dealerships using the Kerridge or McCarthy Dealer Management System would have had to provide Nissan South Africa with a firm commitment by the end of 2007 to have Automate installed by the end of 2009. Other dealerships would have had to comply fully with this standard by the end of 2007. For installation and future operational purposes, the dealerships would also be assessed on the following IT standards: Software Standard Dealer workstations require the following software installed: - Windows XP or later version Microsoft Office 2000 / XP or later version Internet Explorer 6 Anti-virus software Thin client software solutions would be assessed by NSA for approval purposes. Hardware Standard Dealer workstations require the following hardware installed: - Intel Celeron, Pentium 4 or better 256 MB RAM or better 20 GB hard drive capacity or better CD ROM drive DVD ROM drive (Parts department ONLY) 12 Connectivity Standard All dealers must be able to connect to the Internet and all NSA operating/information systems. Capacity must be available at all times to handle daily traffic. No dial-up connections will be accepted. Support Standard Dealers are to acquire sufficient Service Level Agreements (SLA‟s) with their service providers so as to be operational within one working day in case of any IT related failure. Number of Workstations The following dealer positions are required to have a workstation: - Dealer Principal Sales Managers Service Managers Parts Managers Sales Consultants Service Advisors All above individuals are to have their own e-mail address, and must be able to access the Nissan intranet. 13 Core Standard 5 – DCMS The DCMS (Dealer Customer Management System) provides a dealership with a software tool to assist in marketing and managing prospects and existing clients. All medium, large and mega category dealerships must now have a DCMS installed and operational. To view all approved suppliers, please refer to the DCMS bulletin attached to the manual (see Section 6 – Attachment D). However, please note that NSA reserves the right to reassess these suppliers from time to time. Any changes to the status of approved suppliers will be communicated through bulletins. The following items will be assessed by Nissan Field Staff on regular occasions to measure dealership compliance: - All new vehicle sales consultants and new vehicle managers must have access to a personal computer (Assigned or shared). All dealership new vehicle OTP‟s have to be generated through the DCMS. All new vehicle sales consultants and new vehicle managers must capture all their leads onto the DCMS. All information captured must be accurate and reliable. 14 Core Standard 6 – AS-DOS The standards are listed on the ASDOS website, and needs to be marked by the dealership. The results and subsequent necessary action plans will be marked by the NSA After Sales Performance Manager on a regular basis. A dealership has to comply with all the standards to be compliant. This standard will only be marked from the beginning of the third quarter due to current alterations being made on the ASDOS system. To access the Online ASDOS system, please take note of the following steps: 1. Type the following website address into the Internet Explorer address bar: http://online.nissan.co.za. Click on the NISSAN SA APPLICATIONS menu and select the “Dealer Training” menu. 2. Enter your username and password and click on the “Login” button. Should you have difficulty to login, please contact the Nissan Training Systems Administrator on 012 5296858. 15 3. Click on the “AS DOS” Menu. 4. Click on the “Continue” button to access the ASDOS system. Take note of the technical message above the “Continue” button. Should you have any further queries on the AS DOS system and the actual marking, please consult your NSA Aftersales Performance Manager. 16 Core Standard 7 – S-DOS The questions listed below will be measured by the NSA Sales Performance Manager on a regular basis. A dealership has to comply with all standards on the timing commitment as set forth by the Sales Performance Manager. The questions are as follows: Dealer Standard Question or evaluation method All front line sales staff who have regular customer contact must attend available Brand training as presented by NSA Have all front line sales staff attended NSA induction course if and when available? Dealers must comply with VI standards on advertising, sales promotions, external communications and stationery Dealers must contract with NSA their business plans vehicle purchases, retail sales, market share, CCF score and promotional activities and update on such in terms of progress with forecasts and results Dealers must contract and agree monthly retail sales targets with NSA as well as have internally contracted sales targets with salespeople Check actual dealer adverts, evidence of promotions done, external communications and stationery Dealers must have needs based training and development plans for all sales staff Dealers must assess understanding of and knowledge gained by sales staff on training attended Dealers must maintain showroom and salespersons area's at high level of cleanliness with appropriate vehicle and accessory displays Dealer showroom must comply with Nissan VI/BI including signage and displays Dealers must implement a standardised customer handling process with responsible people assigned to handle complaints Dealers must keep records of handling and resolution of customer complaints Dealers must have prepared sales forms and tools to professionally present, sell and deliver vehicles and use such Dealers must ensure sufficient stocking to minimum levels as per NSA franchise agreement Dealers should have properly PDI'd and prepared vehicles before delivering to customer with relevant handover documents and signatures Dealers must have knowledge within DAR of opposition activity, sales and effectiveness and share such with NSA Dealers must accurately and timeously report retail sales as per NSA reporting requirements Dealers must have and share with NSA a comprehensive new vehicle marketing plan outlining advertising and promotional plans and spend 17 Check BP submissions and content Signed off NSA target and evidence of internal dealer target setting and management Check actual material demonstrating staff training planned Record of test results as well as demonstration of discussion Visual check of showroom area Visual check of showroom area Check process Check records including Customer information, vehicle information, content of complaint etc Check business cards, test drive policies, product presentation and comparison material, dealership portfolio, quote, PDI and handover processes and documents Check 1 month stocking level Inspection of vehicle ready for delivery to customer Check dealer market share knowledge and market intelligence reports Check SAP reporting and monthly sales reporting progress Check MP submissions and content and have demonstrated activities concluded Core Standard 8 – After-Sales Training and Certification Various areas within departments of the dealership will be measured as part of AfterSales Training and Certification; each area will be measured on manpower capacity and certification. Capacity is defined as the quantity of people required to operate within a dealership. Manpower Capacity requirements are calculated on the amount of Repair Orders (RO), also known as jobcards, a dealership completes on average each day. All jobcards completed by a Nissan dealership on a daily basis, irrespective of jobcard type (warranty, PDI, Internal, Cash or Credit) or manufacturer (Nissan, Ford, Fiat, etc.) are used to calculate the daily average. The RO average will be captured by NSA staff; the information captured will be collected from the eSOS system (Sewells Financial Reporting) and would be verified from the dealerships management system (Automate, etc.). Certification measurement clarifies the training completed by the individuals within the department. Completed training is measured on a course test result of 80 percent or better. What will be measured? Dealerships need to view After-Sales Capacity and Certification matrix attached to this manual (see Section 6 – Attachment E) to view requirements. How does the After-Sales Capacity and Certification matrix work? Looking at the matrix screenprint below you need to use the following steps to understand the matrix properly: STEP 1 - First identify the daily average of repair orders achieved by the dealership in the previous quarter. Identify this value in the first column of the matrix. In the screenprint example below the value 68 was identified as the daily average of repair orders achieved by the dealership in the previous quarter. All the values in the same row will be capacity or departmental certification requirements. STEP 2 - All the columns marked in green are the dealerships manpower capacity requirements. In other words, how many people do I need in a specific department? Looking at the example of 68 repair orders, the dealership would require 1 Warranty Claims Clerk. 18 STEP 3 - All the columns marked in blue is the dealerships certification requirements. In other words, how many people do I need in a specific department to be certified on a specific course? Looking at the example of 68 repair orders per day, the dealership would require 13 Productive Staff to be certified on the N-Step 1 PL03 course. What other information is important to remember? - As with the previous EDGE programme, the dealership gets measured on departmental certification. Even though this could suggest that not all your staff have to be certified, we would always recommend you certify your full compliment of staff in case of staff turnover problems. - Some concessions have been introduced to assist performing dealerships and new employees. o Service Department - If a dealership achieved their ASBPM Target for the previous two quarters the manpower capacity will not be measured; therefore no dedicated Service Manager required. The certification could then also be completed by a Parts or After-Sales Manager. See page 27 for further detail on ASBPM requirements. o Parts Department - If a dealership achieved their ASBPM Target for the previous two quarters the manpower capacity will not be measured; therefore no dedicated Parts Manager required. The certification could then also be completed by a Service or After-Sales Manager. See page 27 for further detail on ASBPM requirements. 19 o Service Manager, Parts Manager, Service Advisor and Warranty Claims Clerk Certification - Should a dealership achieve less than 15 Repair Orders per day, any staff member at the dealership has to complete the relevant course in these departments. Technical training still has to be completed by the Productive staff within the After-Sales Department. Productive staff includes the Technicians, RSA‟s, Apprentices and Workshop Foreman jobtitles. o New employees receive a 90 day period to complete the required training. 20 Core Standard 9 - Sales Training and Certification Various areas within the dealership will be measured as part of Sales Training and Certification; each area will be measured on manpower capacity and certification. Capacity is defined as the quantity of people required to operate within a dealership. Manpower Capacity requirements has been calculated using the dealerships previous 2 quarters of New Vehicle Sales targets. Certification measurement clarifies the training completed by the individuals within the department. Completed training is measured on a course test result of 80 percent or better. What will be measured? Dealerships need to view Sales Capacity and Certification matrix attached to this manual (see Section 6 – Attachment F) to view requirements. How does the Sales Capacity and Certification matrix work? Looking at the matrix screenprint below you need to use the following steps to understand the matrix properly: STEP 1 - First identify the monthly New Vehicle Sales targets required by the dealership in the previous two quarters. Identify this value in the first column of the matrix. In the screenprint example below the value 16 was identified as the monthly New Vehicle Sales Target required by the dealership in the previous two quarters. All the values in the same row will be capacity or departmental certification requirements. The Used Vehicle Sales Target is calculated in relation to the New Vehicle Sales Target. STEP 2 - All the columns marked in green are the dealerships manpower capacity requirements. In other words, how many people do I need in a specific department? Looking at the example of 16 New Vehicle Sales Targeted, the dealership would require 3 New Sales Consultants and 2 Used Sales Consultants. STEP 3 - All the columns marked in blue are the dealerships certification requirements. In other words, how many people do I need in a specific department to be certified on a specific course? Looking at the example of 16 New Vehicle Sales Targeted, the dealership would require 1 New Sales Consultant certified on the 350Z model. 21 What other information is important to remember? - The dealership gets measured on departmental certification. Even though this could suggest that not all your staff have to be certified, we would always recommend you certify your full compliment of staff in case of staff turnover problems. - Some concessions have been introduced to assist performing dealerships and new employees. o New and Used Vehicle Sales Managers - If a dealership achieved their New Vehicle Sales Target for the previous two quarters the manpower capacity will not be measured. o New Sales Consultants - If a dealership achieved their New Vehicle Sales Target for the previous two quarters the manpower capacity will not be measured. o Used Sales Consultants - If a dealership achieved their Used Vehicle Sales Target for the previous two quarters the manpower capacity will not be measured. o New employees receive a 90 day period to complete the required training. 22 Core Standard 10 – Marketing and RVI Marketing Advertising Dealers will be required at all times to fully comply with the advertising policies, procedures and standards as issued by NSA from time to time. Pertinent mention is made of the fact that all advertising (including press, magazines, pamphlets, TV, radio, internet, dealer websites, static/moving billboards, decals on vehicles etc. must be approved by NSA prior to advertising. Similarly, dealers will be required to comply at all times to legislated advertising laws as per the Credit Agreement Act and any other relevant legislation. Dealership Performance Where a dealership consistently fails to achieve vehicle targets and/or performs below national market or segment share averages and a documented marketing recovery plan agreed with NSA is not in place and/or is not being implemented, the region may request that the dealer be placed in non-compliance with this standard. Such request must be approved by the Nissan Edge Committee or if needed between meetings, such request needs to be approved by the GM Sales & Field Operations AND the Director Sales & Marketing. Merchandising Dealerships will be required at all times to ensure that all the merchandizing material developed and issued by NSA is correctly displayed according to the specified instructions. NOTE: Dealers may not develop, display and/or sign-write any other merchandizing material, messages, etc. unless approved by Nissan Marketing Department. Brochures Dealers will be required at all times to ensure that the full range of available NSA brochures is on display in the correct brochure holder which forms part of the information wall (C-Module). 23 RVI – Retail Visual Identity Besides the necessary correctly installed signage, furniture & fittings all Nissan dealerships must be compliant with the following: New Vehicle Showroom All display vehicles in new car showroom must have uncluttered visibility and be correctly maintained in a clean showroom condition (e.g. no decals/stickers on vehicles). The information wall (C-Module) must be properly stocked and displayed. All shopfronts, walls (interior & exterior), partitions etc. must be kept clean and free from any stickers/decals, etc. Specification Sheets must be correct and match display vehicles. Number plates must be to NSA specification and be displayed on all showroom vehicles Correct usage of Nissan branding No new/number plated/nearly new competitor vehicles, branding or promotional items are allowed in, on or around the Nissan premises. (No competitor products are allowed to be displayed/sold from the Nissan showroom). Valid Value All vehicles must be compliant and a general check based on visual & technical compliance using the Valid Value manual as a general guideline to be done on an average of: 3 vehicles per Mega/Large dealership 2 vehicles per Medium dealership, and 1 vehicle per Small/V-Small dealership All advertising & promotions to conform to Valid Value‟s criteria as well as all Valid Value vehicles to be correctly labelled with price/spec holder displayed in right rear of vehicle window. All Valid Value display vehicles to have the necessary Valid Value number plates. 24 After-Sales Workshop and After-Sales reception areas and offices including all furniture & fittings must be kept in a clean & tidy condition. If the event that the dealership has an Accessory wall all items must be correctly stocked and displayed. General All signage, furniture and internal fittings to always be as per NSA approved concept plan. All internal and external lighting to be in good working order. Dealers are to ensure that showroom & signage is well lit during the evening to enable customers to view dealership & product. All stationery must have correct logo and RVI usage and layout. All areas of dealership must be kept clean at all times. 25 STEP 3 – OPERATING RESULTS The following is the basis on which monthly and quarterly payouts will be made providing you have achieved both Basic Franchise Standards. DEFINITIONS % PAYOUT for the 1% based on the Core Standards achievement Percentage of the basic retail price (i.e. recommended retail price, exclusive of VAT) of all vehicles retailed by you during the 3-month rolling average period. % PAYOUT for achieving Percentage of accumulated basic wholesale value of all new vehicles retailed by you during the relevant period of assessment. Please note again that Sales to Target will be assessed and paid out on a monthly basis (3month roll). After-sales achievement will be paid out on a calendar quarter basis. NOTE: Direct NSA sales to government or rental companies delivered by you on NSA’s behalf will not qualify and by definition cannot be reported by you as retail sales. Bulk deliveries where NSA has contributed beyond normal fleet policy will not qualify for payout, but their sales will count towards target achievement. NEW VEHICLE SALES TARGET The dealership’s target is calculated and issued by NSA. Actual sales are all valid new vehicles sold by your dealership / branch and correctly reported on the SAP system which was registered during the NSA retail reporting period. The figures are calculated on a 3 month rolling figure. (Explanations of a 3 month rolling measurement can be found on page 28) NOTE: Please keep copies of valid registration documents for 12 months for audit purposes. AS-BPM Explanation provided on page 27 26 EXPLANATION OF AS-BPM MEASUREMENT The objective of AS-BPM is to help dealers achieve some very basic workshop targets such as facility requirements, manpower capacity and staff efficiency. It will also assist management to keep their monthly performance on track. The six (6) measurables for all of AS-BPM for Edge pay-out: Mega, Large and Medium dealers must achieve 4 out of 6 measurables of which No3 and No5 is mandatory (all or nothing approach). Small and Very Small Dealers must only achieve No3 and No5 which is mandatory What is the target level? KPI Means 1) % Manpower vs. Facility Capacity 2) Workshop Efficiency This measures the percentage of utilization of the Service Department This measures the actual efficiency Technicians and service operations. This measures the Customer traffic 3) Number of Customer Repair Orders 4) Workshop Parts Sales 5) PLTB 6) Accessory Purchases This measures the Parts Sales to the WS and wholesale. More Sales per RO’s need to be evident This measures parts purchased from NSA This measures dealer accessory purchases from NSA. Upsell activities through New Vehicles Sales need to be evident 27 Target established with dealership 120% Target established with dealership Target established with dealership Target established with dealership R3400 per unit Formula Labour hours available Facility hours possible Flat Rate Hours Sold Technician hours available The number of retail Repair Orders opened Dealer Parts Sales and its breakdown (Workshop Retail Sales & Wholesale) NSA record of Dealer’s parts purchase NSA record of dealer’s accessory purchases EXAMPLES OF A THREE- MONTH ROLL CALCULATION 3-MONTH ROLL = Where N is the month of payment then: (New Sales VS Target) EXAMPLE N-2 N-1 N ∑ N+N-1+N-2 Actual sales 20 21 24 65 Actual target 21 23 24 68 = 65/68 x 100/1 % achieved = 95.6% Therefore no payment for the achievement below 100% 3-MONTH ROLL = Where N is the month of payment then: (New Sales VS Target) EXAMPLE N-2 N-1 N ∑ N+N-1+N-2 Actual sales 20 24 26 70 Actual target 21 23 24 68 = 70/68 x 100/1 % achieved = 103.9% Therefore a 1.5 % payment will be received for the achievement equalling and above 100% and below 110%. 28 STEP 4 – PAYOUT Possible monthly and quarterly payouts: MONTHLY PAYOUT = 3.0 % 1.0% Payment period Monthly Payout Measurement Monthly 1.5% Monthly 3 Month Rolling 2.0% Monthly 3 Month Rolling Result Category Minimum Level Reached % Payout 1 NSA Basic Franchise . and Core Standards* Dealers have to pass all Basic Franchise and Core Standards Achieve minimum 100% of target Achieve 110% or more of target 2 New Sales vs. . Target** * ** Percentage of basic retail price Percentage of new vehicle wholesale price x retail volume. NSA has introduced an Annual Consistency New Vehicle Sales vs. Target bonus. Should a dealership achieve both the two conditions below, they will receive the New Sales vs. Target (1.5%) payout for any unpaid months during the past calendar year (starting with 2009). Condition 1: The dealership achieves New Vehicle Sales vs. Target in 9 out of 12 months in the calendar year (starting with 2009). Condition 2: The dealership achieved 100%+ New Vehicle Sales vs. Target in the full calendar year (starting with 2009). Urgent Notes on Payouts – PLEASE READ!! 1. A dealership has to achieve the Basic Franchise Standards to be eligible for any payouts. Payouts will take place once compliance is achieved. 29 2. Should any Core Standard become non-compliant, you will be advised and requested in writing to become compliant by the end of the month following the written notice. - Should you become compliant within the specified period, you will be paid and no penalty will occur. Should you not become compliant within the specified period, you will be excluded from the 1% Core Standard payout until compliant. 3. Core Standard (Input) payments and Sales vs. Target/ASBPM (Output) payments are not linked. In other words, the achievement of either is not conditional for a payment to take place on the other. Achievement of AS-BPM targets will result in quarterly payouts of 0.5% of Parts Purchases (PLTB only) through NSA CALENDAR QUARTERLY PAYOUT = 0.50% Result Category Minimum Level reached % Payout Payment period Payout measurement 1 . AS-BPM Mega, Large and medium dealers The six (6) measurables of AS-BPM for Edge payout: Dealer must achieve 4 out of 6 measurables of which No 3 and No 5 is mandatory (see page 27 for additional standard clarification) 0. 5% Quarterly NSA Financial quarter commencing in April 2009 2 . AS-BPM for Small and Very Small Dealers Two (2) measurables Dealers must only achieve No3 and No5 which is mandatory(see page 27 for additional standard clarification) 0. 5% Quarterly NSA Financial quarter commencing in April 2009 TOTAL 0.5% 30 DEALER BULLETIN BULLETIN NO: DATE ISSUED DATE EFFECTIVE NIS DD 3 23- 02 - 2009 May 2007 CONFIDENTIAL SUBJECT STANDARDS FOR FRANCHISE SHARING REMINDER - ALL DP'S, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. FRANCHISE HEADS AND GROUP HEADS TO The very important bulletin - see attachment, which we sent out in May 2007 STANDARDS FOR APPROVED FRANCHISE SHARING and which also forms Attachment C of the latest Edge Manual, refers. We want to draw your particular attention to the section on DEALER MANAGMENT STANDARDS on the 2nd page. You will see that NSA specifies very clearly that in the case of Mega, Large and Medium dealerships, your key management appointments need to be pre-approved by NSA. Dealer Principal (DP) appointments need to be pre-approved by NSA's head office (GM's Sales and After-Sales) as well as NSA Regional Management. Departmental appointments need to be pre-approved by NSA's Regional Management. The reasons for this are self explanatory and are there to protect not only you but also the best interests of the franchise. Please note that the contents of the attached bulletin are the entire basis for compliance of Core Standard 4 of the Nissan Edge program. Should you make such management appointments without NSA's prior approval, please understand that you are at risk of not only losing 1% on Edge, but you will be in breach of all relevant clauses in the dealer agreement which refer to compliance with NSA's standards, Consequently, NSA may request that you dismiss and/or reassign any individual appointed without NSA’s proper pre-approval. This is simply a situation with all the associated costs and unpleasantness that should please be avoided. Originator Dept: Dealer Development Originator Designation: Administrator Department Issued by: C Milford Department Manager’s Designation: Senior Advisor: John Jessup NISSAN SOUTH AFRICA (PTY) LTD DATE: 29 September 2006 DEALER DEVELOPMENT BULLETIN DD 2007-04 SUBJECT: REVISED STANDARDS FOR FRANCHISE SHARING DATE: 28 May 2007 Attention: Franchise Heads Dealer Principals Nissan SA Regional Offices URGENT AND IMPORTANT NSA has allowed controlled franchise sharing with RENAULT SA (RSA) and FASA in the past. From now on such franchise sharing approvals will only be granted with our global alliance partner RSA. Such cases will be limited to those where mutual opportunities may still exist now or in the future. The reason for these important changes also relate to NSA’s investments in forthcoming new product platforms (notably X11J) which compete directly into the mainstream of the high volume B –Segment of the Passenger Market. RENAULT Where sharing with Renault has been approved in writing by NSA (Dealer Development Department) and RSA, all facility plans must be pre-approved by NSA’s Dealer Development Department prior to any building/building alterations taking place. The standard is full separation (completely separate facility) for all Mega, Large and Medium dealers. For Small and Very Small dealers, shared after-sales may be allowed in certain cases. But in all cases, the showrooms will have to be completely separated with a solid brick wall structure with an air gap or separate building. Exceptions to the air gap / separate sales facility rule for small and very small dealers may be allowed at NSA’s discretion, provided that the building design meets NSA’s capacity and RVI criteria. In cases where Greenfield projects were approved by NSA and constructed accordingly over the past 3 years, the above will not apply as long as NSA’s capacity requirements and targets are being met. -1- FASA AND/OR ANY OTHER FRANCHISE The standard for FASA sharing now becomes exactly the same as with any other franchise. A COMPLETELY separate facility (with an air gap) is a fundamental core franchise standard. Architectural/RVI plans for such facilities showing relationship and proximity to the Nissan facility must ALWAYS be pre-approved by NSA’s Dealer Development Department in writing. Compliance to this standard needs to be in place and operational immediately in all metropolitan (urban) areas as discussed with you by NSA and/or FASA and already implemented in most cases. Any remaining sharing in metropolitan (urban) areas which is non-compliant to the above should have ceased some time ago and must immediately become compliant. In all other areas, operational compliance is required by end-June, 2008. An architectural/RVI separation concept plan needs to be approved by NSA before end- September, 2007. Greenfield projects approved by NSA and completed in the past three years will automatically comply as long as NSA’s capacity requirements and targets are being met. DEALER MANAGEMENT STANDARDS Irrespective of your current facility status, in cases where Renault sharing has been approved, or where any other franchise exists anywhere under your control or ownership or where previously approved FASA sharing still exists and is being phased out as per above, the following applies with immediate effect : 1. Mega, Large and Medium Nissan Dealer. The Nissan franchise must have a dedicated DP who is approved by NSA’s head office (GM Sales Operations and GM After-Sales Operations) as well as Sales and After-Sales Regional Managers. In addition, completely dedicated heads for each and every department (who must each be approved by NSA’s relevant Regional Management) who report to the dedicated DP only. Such approvals are required with dealership management changes on an ongoing basis. “Dedicated” means that the appointed individual may not in any way be involved at any time with any other franchise or business of any nature. In the case of Medium Dealers, where the main shareholder fulfils the role of DP, NSA may allow his/her involvement in another business as long as such business involvement is not another motor vehicle franchise and is not deemed by NSA to be taking up the DP’s management capacity in a manner which is resulting in the Nissan franchise not meeting it’s standards and/or performance-related targets. In this manner, it stands to reason that other than the possible exception for a medium dealer as outlined above, no manager or staff member employed by the Nissan Franchise entity may under any circumstances perform duties (including local or overseas trips for launches, incentives, conferences etc.) for or on behalf of any other franchise or business of whatever nature owned by you, your group or otherwise associated business entity. The only exception that may be considered is that if such business can be shown to be a direct and logical extension to the Used Vehicle capacity of the NSA franchise in the PMA (Primary Market Area). Such outlets and their location, branding and facility plans need to be pre-approved by NSA’s Dealer Development Department and must have their own dedicated manager. Such manager must report only to the Nissan franchise DP and the accounts of such operation must be consolidated into the bottom line of the Nissan franchise entity. NSA reserves the right to request that such entity be removed entirely from -2- the management responsibility and accounts of the Nissan franchise entity should it deem that such business entity is in any way preventing the Nissan entity to achieve it’s own objectives, standards and/or capacities. 2. Small and Very Small Nissan Dealer. Where sharing has been allowed (with RSA or FASA phase out) the DP and after-sales manager may be common. If NSA capacity standards indicate that a new vehicle sales manager is required, then that sales manager must be dedicated to the Nissan business. NSA may request dedicated overall and/or departmental management at any stage, should the capacity criteria and targets not be met. Accounting and general administrative functions may be shared as long as such functions are not visible to customers and that any letters, documents or other written or electronic communications to Nissan customers comply fully with Nissan RVI standards. Please contact us immediately if clarification is required relating to these extremely important core franchise standards. -3- eSOS® Business Rules User Guide Ronald Sewells & Associates (SA) (Pty) [ Ver 02 March 2005] Rule Type Current New eSOS Description Business Rule Definition Diagnosis and Corrective Actions eSOS Description Hard Rules = must be passed before processing can continue.

We therefore have an urgent need to verify that the contacts are reachable, may it be via email, postal and/or telephonically. This is the reason why this quality gates application was developed. The quality gates application is scheduled to run daily. Validation will take place only if the contact’s details undergo modification since the last run of the application. Although our system validates all customer information from all the various databases you will only be penalized if the compulsory information is missing or not adhering to these standards. The following particulars of a contact undergo validation through the aforesaid application: TITLE The title record will be regarded as non-compliant if the field is either empty or inaccurate e.g. Mr. if it is suppose to be Mrs. INITIALS Initials must contain only capital alpha characters, no other characters are allowed. Initials should not be separated with a space, period or any other character. Field length 4 characters SURNAME Surnames should be displayed and stored in proper case; that is the first letter of every word should be upper case and all other characters should be lower case. The first letter after and apostrophe or hyphen minus characters should also be upper case (e.g. O’Reilly) Note: This should display the majority of surnames correctly, but there are some exceptions e.g. Irish surnames like McDonald TELEPHONE NUMBERS Telephone numbers are landline numbers, cellular numbers or international numbers. All telephone numbers start with a “0” and may only contain numeric characters. Cell numbers are 10 characters long. International numbers start with “009”. Once again dealership telephone numbers and cell numbers will not count as a valid number. MODEL See attached sheet for valid model descriptions. The “Model group” field is the only descriptions that will be valid. CONTACT EMAIL ADDRESS VALIDATION For an email address to be valid, the domain must exist and be registered with an appropriate board. We have a table in place that holds many valid domains, should a domain not be available in that table, connection is made to a web service that contains all valid domains to verify the existence thereof, the domain will then be stored in the local database table to expedite the verification process. Sales Executives, Sales Managers, Dealer principals and dealership's e-mail addresses will not be calculated as an accurate e-mail. All dealership domains will be programmed to show as an invalid customer e-mail address. VALIDATION REPORT A consolidated validation report is made available through the SQL Server Reporting services report which will be published to relevant subscribers (DP/Sales and Service Managers) via email on monthly basis or on demand Please refer to Nissan CRM System Data Standards and quality gates report for all other non compulsory validation information.

Having both Sales & Service data correctly captured will enable a dealership to extract enormous value by using the database for marketing purposes. A) The most important reasons as to why Service customer data needs to be captured correctly are: Legal requirements: 1) With the new Consumer protection bill that will become effective in about18 months time, all dealerships will be required to forward a quotation to their customers by e-mail. The customer must first accept this quotation before the dealership can start working on the vehicle. No telephonic quotations/ acceptances will be legal anymore. 2) Customers have to be informed on product related recall campaigns on their vehicles, in order to be exempt from liability. Revenue generating areas: 3) Enables the generation of Service Reminders. 4) Ad Hoc service marketing e.g. Special service packages for vehicles who don’t have service plan or warranty anymore could ensure that you retain revenue that would have otherwise been lost, accessories specials that could be directed to a specific model to generate more profit for parts etc 5) End of Warranty, Maintenance, Service plan – extensions can be offered. B) The most important reasons as to why sales customer data needs to be captured correctly are: 1) Ad Hoc sales marketing campaigns, customer events, loyalty programmes 2) Tools like Replacement Cycle and end of Finance contract information can be used because you know who your customer is and you can made contact with them to sell a new vehicle to them. 3) It enables contact with customers as and when necessary to promote the Nissan Brand, which will enhance customer retention and conquest. 4) Increase profitability of a dealership because studies have shown that is it much cheaper to keep a currently customer than to get a new customer. 5) Will assist in creating the 360 degree view of customer – This will enable the dealer to know their customers better and improve their marketing strategies.

To ensure sustainable growth for a dealership proper management and marketing of its customer base is essential. These products, mostly named Lead Management Systems, are responsible for providing a tool which will allow dealerships to register all customers that make any contact with the dealership. Through marketing to these customers, which could possibly lead to an increase in sales, dealership management will be able to accurately measure the performance of staff and marketing strategies. It must be mentioned that several other manufacturers, namely BMW, Volkswagen and Toyota, have already standardized on such systems and that it has become a dealer standard. It is important that the Nissan dealer network remain competitive with regards to lead management and the pro-active management of customer relationships and therefore careful consideration must be given to the implementation of such systems at dealer level. In order to introduce a Lead Management package to the dealer network, the Nissan dealer IT Subcommittee have nominated a workgroup to research and acquire such a system. This group has compiled a set of standards which suppliers must meet in order to sufficiently service the dealer network (the project has been named the Dealer Customer Management System “DCMS”). Not limiting the DCMS to a single supplier will avoid possible change management conflict and introduce a competitive environment combining cost, quality, timing and support. Subsequent to the Nissan dealer IT Subcommittee’s approval of the standards and suppliers mentioned in this bulletin, presentation was made to National Dealer Council on 22 March 2007. Dealer Council agreed in principle to the implementation of these systems but requested that presentation also be made to the Small Dealer Sub-Committee (done on 18 April) and the Dealer Sales Sub-Committee (scheduled for 22 May 2007). At this stage participation is not yet an NSA standard but it can be stated that due to competitive pressure NSA will have no option but to introduce such systems as franchise standards in the foreseeable future. This bulletin serves to announce the available approved systems and their benefits to the dealer. The negotiated system is currently for the use of the Sales department only; a rollout that includes the After sales department is still under investigation. DCMS overview: The DCMS provides dealership sales staff and sales management the functionality to capture prospective customer’s information. Once captured, the DCMS will provide the sales staff the capability of generating an electronic OTP. This information will also then be seamlessly transferred to the Automate management system should the customer prospect then be converted into a sales. Dealership management will be able to measure sales staff performance, and receive reports on sales conversion ratios and measure the related market source of the sales. Communication strategies through e-mail, SMS and letters will enable the dealer to keep in touch with its customer database. Bare in mind that sever discipline will be required from dealership staff to capture and maintain the customer records. To involve the sales staff directly to operate on the system, each staff member would require a workstation, or at the very least a dedicated DCMS workstation. In practise it has also been recommended to employ a dedicated person to manage a related system. -3- Supplier measured standards: Sales functionality 1. Integration to Automate Sales Module 2.

Please feel free to make contact with the suppliers directly in order get more product information. Should you want to make use of an alternate supplier, please refer the supplier to the Dealer IT Subcommittee for approval purposes. Should you require additional information on the Dealer Customer Management System project, please raise your concerns to any of the Dealer IT Subcommittee members.

The revisions have been made to ensure that new dealers make progressive improvements towards Edge compliance during the concession period. They also make provision for major relocations subject to the conditions outlined below. Concessions already given to dealers under the previous policy and which are still active will be administered according to the previously applicable policy. What is a “new” dealer a) b) A previous open point which has become closed A buy/sell of an existing dealer which directly affects the line operation of the dealership i.e. change of owner/operator. (Shareholder changes which result in no change of dealer principal will NOT qualify in these cases). When does a new dealer start operations? From the date of official dealer opening notification issued by Marketing Finance. What is the time period of the concession? It has been agreed that 6 months is fair and sufficient time for new dealers to become compliant. In order to coincide with Edge core standards assessment, it will be applicable for the next 6 forward months in the event of the official notification being issued during a particular month. If the notification is issued on the 1st of a month it will be applicable from that particular month going forward. What is the nature of the concession? Basic Franchise Standards will not be included in the concession, therefore you will need to ensure that you constantly remain compliant with your Basic Franchise Standards. The 10 Core Standard pass status will be deemed to have taken place successfully during the first six months of the concession period. For the last month (6th), applicable monthly payments will apply under concession but the dealer must ensure that he/she is compliant with all 10 Core Standards by the end of the 6th month in order to continue receiving the 1% for Core Standard achievement. 2 What about relocations? In the event of a relocation to a Greenfield (complete new build) site and facility fully approved by NSA, the same concession as applicable to the above will apply but will only be for a period of 3 months. Payment Policy During the concession period, the 1% core standard amount will be paid to the dealer monthly. Payments for output achievements will be made if the 3 month roll target achievement is met. Please note : In the event of a buy/sell resulting in the change of status, any amounts due to the previous owner, unless NSA is advised to the contrary in writing by both buyer and seller, will be paid to the previous owner.

Valid Value is now a formal Nissan South Africa Franchise Standard and all dealerships are required to comply with the program. In essence, the need for peace of mind by customers in the purchase of used cars has not changed over time and the program still retains many of its original benefits. However, some of these, together with the processes to be followed by dealerships have been updated to ensure program consistency and that each and every customer receives the benefits promised by a guaranteed used car program. It is important to note that your Valid Value Subcommittee has gone to great lengths to ensure that the program is practical and workable. In addition every effort has been made to keep costs reasonable. As an example, mandatory vehicle display costs are less than R10 per vehicle. This philosophy characterizes the entire the program without detracting from its importance and value. Valid Value is now in the process of designing all program documentation and point of sale material. As yet the introduction date has not been set and this will depend largely on the time taken to finalize all program materials. We are however tentatively targeting early July and are currently considering how best to introduce the program to the dealer network. Yours sincerely Roel de Vries Peter Webb Marketing & Sales Director Valid Value -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------VALID VALUE PROGRAM DETAILS Valid Value will continue to be an all-makes used-car program and will not only be confined to Nissan vehicles. Valid Value Vehicles will be classified into 2 categories: 1. VALID VALUE „SELECT‟ VEHICLES 2. VALID VALUE „OTHER‟ VEHICLES Any vehicle not complying with all the standards applicable to either of these categories will not be classified as a Valid Value vehicle and may not be displayed on any Nissan dealer display area. 1. VALID VALUE SELECT In order to be classified as a „SELECT‟ vehicle the following base criteria applies: Vehicles must be LESS THAN 3 YEARS old Vehicle must have no more than 100,000 KM on the odometer. Vehicles must have a FULL SERVICE HISTORY (see definition). 1 The purpose of this is to identify these vehicles as a cut above the rest and to be able to create marketing hype around this issue. In addition to the above base criteria, all SELECT vehicles must conform to the requirements below. ALL Valid Value Select Vehicles are offered with: 101-Point Quality Assurance Check. Peace of Mind, Police and Finance Check. Optional Roadside Assistance. Optional 24-Month Vehicle Warranty. (Advertised prices will exclude warranty) Nissan‟s 20 Day Exchange Policy. Free Safety Checks. Price and specification boards, as well as any retail advertising, must specifically indicate that these vehicles are VALID VALUE SELECT. 2. VALID VALUE „Other Vehicles‟ Where vehicles are more than 3 years old or have more than 100,000 km on the odometer or do not have a full service history (see definition), they can still qualify to be Valid Value vehicles, provided they conform to the requirements below: All “other” Valid Value vehicles are offered with: 101-Point Quality Assurance Check. Peace of Mind, Police and Finance Check. Optional Roadside Assistance. Optional 24-Month Vehicle Warranty. (Advertised prices will exclude warranty) Nissan‟s 20 Day Exchange Policy. Free Safety Checks Where vehicles do not conform to these requirements, they will not be classified as Valid Value vehicles and may not be displayed on any Nissan dealer display area. BENEFIT CLARIFICATION 101-POINT QUALITY ASSURANCE CHECK This is a vitally important aspect and forms the cornerstone of the Valid Value Program. In order to ensure that customers are attracted to purchase Valid Value vehicles, dealers will be required to ensure that vehicles are refurbished to a specific Valid Value standard. Nissan recognizes that it is impractical to make used cars „new‟ but we have an important responsibility to ensure that customers believe Nissan is living up to the expectation created by our highly visible signage promising “Guaranteed Used Cars”. To support this, a Valid Value Preparation Standards Manual has been developed and all vehicles must be refurbished to these standards. This manual will be distributed to all dealerships but in the meantime a CD will distributed and is designed to provide you will an advanced preview of the requirements. Upon completion of the refurbishment process, a 101- Point Check Completion Certificate must be signed by the Sales/Service Manager and placed in Price & Spec board which is hooked onto the vehicle window. When the sale is concluded, the Completion Certificate must be removed and supplied to the customer and a copy placed on file for record purposes. As a more durable indicator that the required checks have been done, a 101-Point Check Sticker must be placed in the driver‟s side rear window. 2 FULL SERVICE HISTORY DEFINITION All Valid Value Select vehicles must have a full service history. This means the vehicle must have its original service book indicating that all services, as stipulated by the manufacturer, have been completed by the manufacturer‟s appointed service outlet. If a service is completed by a nonmanufacturer‟s service outlet during the manufacturer‟s warranty, then the vehicle will not be classified as a „Select‟ vehicle. PEACE OF MIND POLICE AND FINANCE CHECK This check is designed to significantly enhance the saleability of vehicles by guaranteeing that every effort has been made to ensure the legitimacy of all Valid Value vehicles. Each vehicle must have a TransUnion Vehicle Report which verifies the engine and chassis numbers through the South African Police Service‟s database to confirm that the car has not been stolen. It also verifies that there is no outstanding finance or legal claim against the vehicle. Valid Value is currently setting up a system with TransUnion where these checks can be done via the Nissan Finance portal at a price of R41.45 (excl. vat) per check. In the case of vehicles purchased from Nissan Finance Remarketing or vehicles from the dealership‟s demo fleet, this vehicle report will not be required. NISSAN'S 20 DAY EXCHANGE POLICY The 20 day exchange policy is essentially a marketing tool designed to give the potential customer even greater peace of mind with regard to the possible risks involved in purchasing a used vehicle. What‟s important to recognize is that it offers the consumer no more protection than they are entitled to under Consumer Legislation. However, by highlighting this in advertising and merchandising material, Nissan and its dealers gain even greater credibility in the mind of the consumer. OPTIONAL 24-MONTH VEHICLE WARRANTY The Valid Value Program will indicate that all Valid Value vehicles are offered with an optional 24month warranty but it will not be necessary for dealers to include the cost in the price. All retail adverts and marketing material will indicate “Advertised prices exclude cost of warranty”. Nissan has negotiated two Valid Value branded warranties through the 4 main administrators of vehicle warranties (SA Warranties, McCarthy Insurance, Motorite and Innovations Group). These will be identical in premium, cover, fees, wording & commission structure and dealers will be able to choose the administrator of their choice. Any existing profit-share arrangements between dealers and warranty administrators will not be affected. 1. Valid Value “Nissan Extended Warranty” Only Nissan Passenger and Nissan Light Commercial vehicles, petrol or diesel, qualify for this warranty cover provided: the vehicle has passed the mandatory 101 point Quality Assurance Check; the vehicle has a complete Nissan service history; the vehicle is not older than 3 years or 100,000 km; the vehicle has not been modified from the manufacturers original specifications; the vehicle is not operated for financial gain. I.e. Taxi, Security, Courier, etc. This warranty is designed to incept when Nissan‟s original manufacturers warranty expires and will extend the vehicle warranty cover for a period of 2 years or the maximum distance traveled of 200,000 km (whichever may occur first), having been recorded from the date of first registration. 3 2. Valid Value “Pre-owned Warranty” This warranty covers all makes of Passenger, Light Commercial and 4x4 vehicles with a gross vehicle mass of less than 3500 kg, including Nissan passenger & LCVs that do not qualify for the Nissan-only Extended Warranty. This warranty does not cover taxis, hire vehicles, rebuilt vehicles (code 3), modified vehicles and vehicles that are used, or have been used in any form of motoring competition or sport. Only vehicles with a complete, up to date service record will be considered for Plan N of this general warranty. In terms of the FAIS Regulations the following is applicable: Only a FAIS Certified Representative (generally the F&I) is permitted to provide advice and sell insurance-based products, which includes vehicle warranties. No insurance-based products may be foisted upon customers or sold conditionally. Full details of the warranty, including premium, extent of cover, exclusions and dealer commission must be disclosed to the customer. Customers have the right to decline the warranty. In this event the Valid Value Program will require the customer to sign a disclaimer indicating that he/she understands the implications. This disclaimer will not only protect the dealership in the event the vehicle breaks down and the customer alleges they were not informed that the vehicle had no warranty, but is a very powerful psychological selling tool which plays on customer insecurities related to the reliability of used vehicles. The cost of warranties must be transparent and pricing is to be itemised on the customer invoice. Warranty premiums may not be inflated to enhance 2nd gross and only legislated commission/fees based on the official warranty premium is payable. OPTIONAL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE Dealers may use any national supplier of roadside assistance, however Valid Value will offer a cobranded product with AA Fleetcare and dealers may use this product if they choose. Valid Value has negotiated a single premium price of R137.11 excl. vat for a 12-month contract. This rate is subject to change in the future. AA will bill NSA and in turn NSA will debit dealer sundries accounts. Valid Value will facilitate the distribution of AA Fleetcare applications and pamphlets but the cost of printing these will be for the dealers account. Each customer must be handed a copy of the Roadside Assistance application and an explanatory booklet/pamphlet from the supplier. If a Valid Value Warranty is sold to a customer, roadside assistance is included in the policy. FREE SAFETY CHECKS One of the key objectives of the Valid Value Program is to improve customer retention levels, particularly in the After-Sales Department. For as long as the customer owns the vehicle, the program requires dealers to offer free safety checks to ensure the roadworthiness of the vehicle. Naturally, any work that is required as a result of these checks is for the customers account. Customers may have these free checks at any Nissan Valid Value dealer. VALID VALUE VEHICLE DISPLAY REQUIREMENTS In terms of the definition all used vehicles displayed on Nissan used-car display areas will be Valid Value Vehicles and must be identified as follows: Valid Value Price & Specification Board, size A4. This is to be hooked onto in the rear driverside window. If the vehicle is a 2-door model then it must be clipped on the passenger side window. A special MS Word document template has been developed. This will allow dealerships to print these on an ordinary black and white printer at very low cost. It also facilitates easy changing of price & spec details as and when required. 4 Where vehicles qualify for SELECT status the Price & Specification board must specifically indicate that it is a „VALID VALUE SELECT” vehicle. This will form part of the template document mentioned above. The current large Valid Value price boards for interior windshield application and Valid Value number plates will be entirely optional and may be ordered from Brand Unlimited through the usual channels. VALID VALUE DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS The following documentation is to be completed/filed/provided to the customer with the sale of each vehicle: Customer Document Holder- This is a size A5 folder into which all Valid Value related documentation must be inserted for handover to the customer. 101-Point Quality Assurance Completion Certificate – to be inserted into Customer Document Holder. 101 Point Check / TransUnion Vehicle Report sticker – to be stuck on right hand side rear window. Optional Roadside Assistance application & guide/pamphlet – copies of documentation to be inserted into Customer Document Holder. Optional Extended Warranty policy – to be inserted into Customer Document Holder. Valid Value Program Customer Brochure – this explains the program details and is to be inserted into the Customer Document Holder. VALID VALUE PROGRAM AUDITING The Valid Value program is not intended to hide behind clever marketing but is designed to offer customers genuine peace of mind benefits. In order to ensure that customers enjoy the full benefits of the program, Nissan SA will perform audits to ensure: All Valid Value vehicle branding & point of sale requirements are being adhered to. All customer deal-files reflect that the Valid Value Program benefits have been provided to or offered to customers. All refurbishments required in terms of the 101-point Quality Assurance Check have been completed. COMPLIANCE WITH PROGRAM STANDARDS In order to maintain the credibility and integrity of the Valid Value program it is vitally important that each and every customer gets exactly what the program promises. Nissan Dealer Development is currently considering a number of options, which may cover inclusion of Valid Value in the Edge Program as a core standard, as well as specific sanctions for non-compliance with vehicle display standards, refurbishment and program standards.
