All you need to know about buying used cars part 1 (We Buy Cars Tour)

[@GefteMachivene17]

Used to work at a used car dealership and something I'd advise people to do is bring along a mechanic or someone who has experience with cars. Take the car for a test drive Atleast twice before buying it. Most of the cars we sold were just "fixed" to the point of you being able to drive for a few days. I remember some guy bought an X5 for 180k and a week later the gearbox had issues, the dealership knew about it but kept quiet

[@loyisodzingwa4833]

Well if you're going to buy an x5 for 180k something has to be wrong with it. Thanks for the advice though mate.

[@GefteMachivene17]

@@loyisodzingwa4833 Yeah honestly the price was a giveaway. He thought he was getting a pretty good deal cause it was a 2013 model with no accident history at other dealers its about R250k+

[@solomonmodisha8644]

That's crazy... an X5 for R180k? Lol he should have seen it coming

[@khathuoncars]

I bought a ford focus at NTT Toyota (One in my channel) in December 2021, same day lights were not working, oil leak, they came and fetch it, fixed it then later the check engine light came on, they fixed it again then again it came back twice, i took the car back and walk away from the deal and paid nothing

I wish this video was uploaded before I bought my VW Polo Vivo Maxx 1.6 2014, yeyi i regret buying that car, cause it was involved in a accident and the dealership lied on my face n said the car had a slight injury at the back, while accident was in the front noticing it a weeks later after i bought the car. GREAT ADVICE TO THOSE WHO STILL GOING TO BUY A CAR. BLESSED

[@thabanglehetla6073]

Great video as always🔥, my 2 cents on the mileage thing is that. If a car has a high mileage but with full service history, I will take it because it is proven to be reliable as all the parts have been serviced and the ones that needs replacing has been replaced... always go for full service history if you can.

[@raphaelmahumane1648]

you have a point there, the car will be good as new. all issues eliminated one by one.

[@marvinramatsitsikhangwelo]

This is very informative. I remember buying my first car (secondhand) at those dodgy dealerships and had engine light issue 2 days after buying it. Took the car back to the dealership and the owner told me to just ignore the engine light and keep driving the car as is. Before buying the car I was being treated nice and after buying the cars the entire dealership became hostile. DO NOT BUY CARS AT UNCERTIFIED DEALERSHIPS!!

[@raphaelmahumane1648]

I always say the same thing. You better do research before choosing a dealership.

My car does have a few small minor gaps, but it has never been in a accident, plus I bought my car with 98k on the clock with 2 service histories recorded and I have no issues. it's really difficult to tell, which cars are going to be problematic. A friend of mine bought the exact same model polo 6 R 2010 at Mastercars and after a year, has countless issues (engine issues).

[@walkwithorr]

Good advice. I once bought an Opel Astra in 2004. It was sold to me as a demo at a GM dealership. A few months into owning the car, it would just stop and would not start. Each time I took it in they were fixing something. I travelled from Pta to Jhb for work daily. One day I got stuck in Jhb the car had to be towed in to the nearest dealer in Randburg. When I went to fetch it they said it was a gearbox, I got mad and asked them why would a car as good as new have gearbox issues I told them it's not the first time I got stuck with the car yet I bought it a few months ago. Then I took the service book and looked at it, to my surprise the car was not a demo it was used by Hertz Car Rentals before. From that info I wasted no time I shopped for another car and traded in the troublesome one. I had the car for 14yrs, it was a 1yr old model with under 10k mileage. It was over 200k when I sold it and the owner is still driving the car till today.

[@claymcgear7016]

When it comes to bumper gaps and incorrect bumper alignment, that does not necessarily mean the car was in an accident. 90% of all second hand cars for sale, will sooner or later have their front bumper removed at some point of time to have it resprayed due to stone chips. When putting the bumper back on, this is when workshops fit the bumper incorrectly and that's why bumper gaps and alignment is not how they're supposed to be. Good content though! Loving every video.

I bought a fiesta at 3000km in 2017. The only time I found out it was in an accident was when I sold it now in 2022 and everyone brought up what you did. The work done on the service book could have also told me a lot but I never knew what anything meant till I sold it. Now I am just turned off by second hand cars, more so because I know the condition my car was in when I sold it

[@mfezekonkuhlu3590]

I don’t work for We Buy Cars but I find when it comes to used car dealerships they a the most transparent… I’ve bought cars from MasterCars that the dealer said had no issues and had 80 point checks done only to find out that the car burns soo much oil that it needs a engine rebuild or it needs a gear box change coz the synchros are gone and yes they offer warranties but it’s mostly third party and requires you to pay close 40% of the repair bill… buying used is taking a shot in the dark you can never know what you getting even if it’s a reputable company !!! But with the Dekra report you getting a lot of information irrespective of it being a marketing gimmick to you… your review has a lot of valid points when it comes to the bodywork of the car but also you fail to inform your viewers that a resprayed bumper could have been a minor scratch that was repaired you have to check inside the engine bay or boot in order to see serious damage . Thank Dr

[@MuziSambo]

You are right, buying a car is just an extreme sport whether used or new...because even brand new cars are not free from defects. You just have to be aware what you're getting yourself into and what back up you have if things go wrong.

[@njabulomanukuza2228]

In all honesty, when you buy a used car, no matter the condition, you are accepting all risks. Non-accident and low mileage do not explain anything. I have been buy high mileage and low mileage cars for a long time and my advice is, always have an extra R20K - R30K when buying a second hand car. get it privately inspected and serviced immediately. You will not regret.

[@ahmedrishaadshaik1786]

People go to we buy cars because they can't afford cars from a dealership. Dealerships are just overpriced, and dealerships aren't free from defects. You could get a dud or a gem at a bargain at we buy cars, it depends. Test driving the car for mechanical problem with your mechanic is a must. Great content nontheless

For me personally it's not about the mileage. It comes down to the condition, service history and year model. I bought a 2007 polo 1.4 with 147000km and sold it at 194000km. Never had an issue, it's about how you drive and look after your car. It's like a baby, you have to invest at certain times.

[@SHENGEsiyabonga]

All dealers are the same if we're being honest. It's just a matter of "which dealer has the most to lose". The reason why I am saying this is because Sambo mentioned reputable dealers such as your Master cars, which he is not wrong. The problem is, there are instances where even these dealers were in the wrong. An example I can make is of a gentleman who wants bought an H1 from a Mazda dealer in Roodepoort only to find that the H1s clock had been reversed for the sale. This was evident when the gent took his H1 for a service at Hyundai and they showed him that through the vehicle history that spans to KMs higher than that displayed when he bought the vehicle.

[@lutha1720]

You can get a good deal just keep in mind if the car was repossessed that person wouldn't have been able to afford maintenance, I used to deal in used cars and believe me, when money becomes tight the insurance is the 1st to be canceled by owners and they will always do cheap repairs thus voiding the warranty so be prepared to spend money if service history is not up-to-date to get it up-to-date with quality parts

This is very informative. But with production cars it's sometimes difficult to tell if those gaps are from production or from an accident repair. Millage lately doesn't matter coz people are now reversing the millage with those obd scan tools. My 2 cent in buying a second-hand car is just pray that you not buying a lemon. All car brands are the same it just depends on the vehicle you driving. Just because your Jeep is faulty doesn't mean mine will have the same issue.

[@bongisiphomalinga7709]

Great video Dr Sambo, would you recommend buying cars like the F30 BMW that has just over 100 000km/Merc C class from like 2014-2017 models with mileage just over 100 000kms but below 150 000kms? They pass all visible checks for accidents and drive well. Basically what I'm saying do they have the reliability of say a Toyota? Coz I bought a used 2010 corolla in 2017 that had 372 000kms and have had very little problems. Only major things I've had to replace are clutch and starter. Other than that, she drives beautifully.

[@MuziSambo]

After 100 000km those cars are already out of warranty and out of maintenance plan. To tell you the truth, luxury german cars are very expensive to maintain once the maintenance plan expires.

[@Linda-jm2ez]

I drive a 2010 E250 CDI with about 230 000km on the clock. The car has been treated well it's entire life so it still drives like brand new, I kid you not🙏but as the Dr said, these things become eye-wateringly expensive to maintain. We've noticed that every 100 000km or so, the steering lock needs to be replaced. This issue gets very expensive to fix, around R12k for me. The engine also had a sensory issue, which cost R18k, the thermostat got worn out, which was around R2k, the shocks had an issue, which was another R12k. Other than that, it's just been regular things such as battery replacement (R3-4k) and a set of tyres (R15-16k). I also suspect that the gearbox needs checking as it occasionally kicks very hard. Other than that, it drives extremely well. All these issues only started from 2019 to now by the way, from around 150 000km

[@mantabeni7934]

Mmmm BMW F30 is a good reliable vehicle now to answer your question I would say it all depends on the history of the vehicle/owners.

I have however only changed minor items shocks, mounting, egr valve and steering rack(pot holes) the rest is normal service...
