A deposit of 50% of the purchase price is required to process the order. An additional 25% is due two weeks before the vehicle arrives at our port, and the remaining 25% is payable upon delivery.

FINANCIAL Institution

Vehicles in Our Trinidad Stock:

If you’re interested in purchasing a vehicle from our Trinidad stock through your institution, please contact your loan officer to ensure you pre-qualify for the vehicle’s cost. Once pre-approved, contact us here or WhatsApp at (476-9311) to schedule an appointment for an in-office inspection and test drive of the vehicle you’re interested in. When you’re satisfied and wish to proceed, we will provide an invoice for submission to your financial institution.

 

To purchase via this option, contact us here or WhatsApp at (476-9311). If you wish to reserve a vehicle, the required deposit will be the amount your financial institution requires to be paid upfront. For example, this could be 10% down or nothing, depending on your loan terms. We will hold the vehicle with this deposit along with an official conditional approval. The final payment is due upon delivery.

 

DELIVERY TIME (Orders/ In Transit Vehicles)

Orders typically take between 10 to 14 weeks from the deposit date to delivery in hand. We believe in maintaining honesty regarding transit times to avoid misleading customers. While certain delays beyond our control can occur, the estimated timeframe is generally reasonable and not significantly longer than advertised. The estimated period covers:

  • Booking to the next available vessel
  • Sailing time
  • Clearance from our port
  • Vehicle preparation (mechanical servicing, tinting, buffing/polishing)
  • Registration at the licensing department

If a vehicle has already been shipped and is in transit, the delivery time will be shorter. We are committed to delivering vehicles as quickly as possible; therefore, we do not collect 100% payment upfront. Rest assured, we remain in close communication with customers throughout the process to ensure transparency and timely delivery.

TRANSPARENCY/ Vessel Tracking

With this document, you can track the vessel’s location using the Marine Traffic website here. Additionally, you can contact the local shipping line in Trinidad for further confirmation.

Understanding the Purpose of I-H.E.L.P

Many individuals are deemed ‘undesirable’ by traditional financial institutions when applying for an auto loan, often resulting in unsuccessful attempts to secure a vehicle—even if they have the means to repay comfortably through alternative income sources. These people seek a safe and reliable way to acquire and eventually own a good vehicle. This need led to the creation of I-H.E.L.P.

The purpose of this program is, as its name suggests, to help those who do not qualify for auto financing through banks or other financial institutions but who can meet the requirements for financing through Trusted Motors Ltd.

It’s important to clarify that I-H.E.L.P is not a financial institution. Our terms and arrangements differ, and our resources are limited. We are here to assist, not to replace traditional financing options.
