please read the following notice
EASY CAR SALES would like to advise the public that they are the ONLY and EXCLUSIVE distributors for new BYD, JAC MOTORS and GEELY electric vehicles (EVs) in The Bahamas.
​
PLEASE NOTE that any vehicle imported directly or through middlemen from China is considered to be a grey market, secondhand vehicle.
​
THE WARRANTY IS NULL AND VOID OUTSIDE CHINA.
​
BEWARE!
We are unable to offer Warranty Support.
Ongoing safety issues may arise as a result.
​
Domestic Chinese models are not intended for export and therefore do not have the same international safety standards, quality materials or features as models intended for the foreign market:
The Operating System for Domestic Chinese models is not in English, regular software updates will be unavailable and some manufacturers may substantially disable systems (other than basic driving functionality) using its GPS capability if the car is found to be out of its home market. Replacement parts may be different and require special ordering. Consequently, vehicles may be unusable for extended periods of time.
​
We are not in any way obliged to service these vehicles under our agreements with the manufacturers.
Special diagnostic tools and expert training are required to maintain EVs, which are only available through Authorized Distributors like EASY CAR SALES.
​
EASY CAR SALES has been in business for 15 years, and has 8 years of experience and dedication to electric mobility. We have a team of qualified Bahamians to support you and your vehicle after the sale to ensure your satisfaction and your safety for the long run. All EVs sold by EASY CAR SALES are guaranteed to be new, export quality models of the highest standard with full 5-8 year manufacturer warranties.
