From the showroom to the wheel: here's the step-by-step process for getting a new vehicle at Autofest 2025

Barranquilla, November 2025. At Autofest 2025, the most anticipated automotive fair in the Caribbean, visitors can not only explore the latest models on the market, but also fulfill their dream of driving away in a brand-new vehicle. With a wide range of 60 exhibitors and 23 dealerships, the fair brings together brands, financial institutions, and institutional partners that facilitate every stage of the purchasing process, from selection to final paperwork.

“We want visitors to have the complete experience: compare, decide, and leave with their credit approved. Everything can be taken care of in one visit,” said Yilda Castro, Executive Director of Fenalco Barranquilla, organizer of the event, together with Corferias Caribe.

Choose the vehicle that best suits you

The tour of Autofest begins with showcases, launches, and personalized advice. Visitors can compare prices, versions, technologies, and benefits, as well as take test drives to learn about the performance of the models.

The fair offers a wide variety of options, making Autofest the ideal place to make an informed decision with the direct support of brand advisors.

Once the model has been chosen, visitors can approach the stands of partner financial institutions, which offer preferential rates and immediate approvals during the fair.

The process is fast, digital, and includes on-site advice.

“It's extremely simple. With just your ID card, we can approve your loan instantly, with terms of up to 84 months and a 100% online process,” explained Jonny Mejía Miranda, advisor at BBVA Bank.

Luz Marina Ibáñez from Banco de Occidente highlighted: “We offer immediate approvals for up to 100% of the vehicle's value, rates starting at 0.89%, and financing for up to 84 months, with special plans for employees, self-employed individuals, and merchants.”

In the case of Finanzauto, the experience focuses on direct customer service: “If you come to the stand with the information about the vehicle you want to purchase, we will assess your creditworthiness right here. The process is quick and allows us to offer discounts and additional benefits for those who apply during the fair,” said its spokespersons.

Banco Finandina, with 48 years of experience in auto loans, is also participating with exclusive terms. "We can approve loans immediately with just your ID card.

During the fair, we are offering the best rates and more than 150 financing plans, with terms of up to 96 months and rates starting at 0.9%," said José Daniel Pérez, regional director for the Costa region.

These financial partners make Autofest the ideal place to close the deal with the best conditions of the year and comprehensive support every step of the way.

Complete all your paperwork in one place

The final process is also simpler. At the same exhibition center, buyers receive guidance on registration, insurance, and vehicle registration procedures, ensuring that the process is carried out quickly and safely.

In this way, Autofest 2025 has established itself as a comprehensive mobility platform, where every visitor can enjoy the experience of buying a new vehicle with institutional support, immediate financing options, and specialized service.
