We’re running a unique competition where one lucky winner will win a car - any* car of your choice. That’s right, if you win, you can choose one of over 27,000 cars listed on autotrader.co.za as your perfect prize.
*Terms and conditions apply.
Update: (26 March 2020) We support lockdown, social distancing and all measures put in place by President Cyril Ramaphosa. Please adhere to and follow the government's recommendations during this time. We encourage, while restrictions are in place, to use a #Carfie you have taken in the past and use this as your entry or one you have taken at home while in self isolation.
I’m in! How do I enter?
Entering is simple - just follow these 3 easy steps:
1. Snap a #Carfie!
Whip out your smartphone and snap a selfie of you standing in front of your car. Get creative! The better the #Carfie, the better chances you have of winning! Don’t own a car? Don’t stress - this is where the dream starts... Simply snap a #Carfie of you and a car you wished you owned.
NB! Please do not take a #Carfie whilst driving. Safety first!
2. Take a screenshot
Jump onto autotrader.co.za and use our search widget to find any car limited to R200,000 - that’s how much we’re giving away! Click on your favourite car and take a screenshot of the advert.
3. Post it!
Upload both your #Carfie and your screenshot on either Instagram, Facebook or Twitter (or all three) and be sure to tag @AutoTraderSA. You must also include the following two hashtags: #WinAnyCar #Carfie
I’ve posted my entry - now what?
Spread the word, keep an eye on AutoTrader’s social media pages and cross your fingers! Competition closes at 11:59:59 on Freedom Day, the 27th April 2020. Afterwhich, our judging panel will decide which #Carfie is the best. The potential winner will be contacted directly via social media after which, if they meet all of the competition’s T&Cs, they will be declared our Grand Prize Winner.
What makes a good #Carfie?
Try position the camera to capture both you and the car in the background. Exterior shots are better as it shows off more of the car. Get creative!
What is the prize?
To fully understand the competition, it’s best to read the terms and conditions below, but in short, we are giving away any car listed on autotrader.co.za (car needs to be listed on AutoTrader at the time of winner selection) to the maximum value of R200,000.00 incl. VAT.
That’s approximately 27,000 cars to choose from!
