Buying a used car in South Africa - (Cars under R100k, Clones and Rebuilds)

1. VW Polo
2. Nissan Micra
3. Honda Civic
4. Hyundai i20
5. Renault Sandero

[@josiahthobejane]

People must remember that a car that was once e.g R250,000 still requires the maintainance of a R250,000 car even if you find it for R50,000 used.

[@randomwatcher2848]

The high mileage BMW gang doesn't seem to know this...

[@lutha1720]

@Random Watcher some people want to look like they have money the ones with money still have the old bmw's and keep them clean. I always kept for 2 to three years fix one or two things and sell it again.

[@gershonmsengi6276]

Lal the required maintenance at 50K will probably be more than what was required when it was 250K

Must be one of the most overlooked truths/facts...

The pre owned car market is south Africa at the moment is crazy . If you're looking for a second hand vehicle right now and you've found something, offer the dealer 15&20 % less than the asking price as that would be the actual retail book value . Also take into account that you have registration fees and other admin costs . That would be around 4k . Check when the last and next service is , because most people sell just before a major service because it's really costly . Check the tires are the same make , model and have legal amount of tread . Make sure all panels line up and paint all matches in colour . Buying pre owned is a gamble for sure and definitely don't rush into buying something that seems to good to be true .

[@mlulekideandladla]

I bought a Suzuki swift 2017 1.2ga in 2020 for 90k with 42000km, after servicing it, it has never broke down on me. I always service it on time and ask my Mechanic if it needs something new. My only mistake was having an accident with it in 2021, I drove it for a year and in 2022, I had to work on the suspension after being fixed. As insurance only fixed the body but not the mechanical DAMAGE, indoda made a plan. I knew that it was accident repair after buying and Nami I had the accident on the same side. Beside that, it as clocked 100000km last week and fuel efficiency is 19km/l. Buying an 100k car, please do check accident repairs and all.

[@lindokuhlenyembe5286]

Fuel efficiency?

Another great video. I always appreciate your advice. I've heard you can hire a professional to check the car for you. I'd like your input on that if you have any info. One company I've seen mentioned is Screan who do inspections for R900+ but I don't know anyone who's actually used them so I'm skeptical.

My 2007 A4 has 313,000 km, engine top was redone last year (it cost a lot) and I'm planning to do the suspension this year and maybe refresh the headlights. With these old cars you have to be very consistent with maintenance and the car will take care of you. It also helps to know how to do some things yourself, just in case. Also find a good workshop /mechanic. I want to buy another high mileage Audi as a performance car project, just something to use as a toy and to learn from. 😁

[@MuziSambo]

I wanna try my luck on a high mileage performance car as well but I have trust issues😁😁...I overthink everything.

[@iconoclast281]

Is there a place/site in SA like the ones they use in the US, Europe(CarFax , etc) where you can pay a fee and run the VIN to get the car’s information, accident history etc

[@cole3835]

After a lot of research I have concluded that the best sub 100k car is a 2008-2013 Honda Accord 2.0. Stylish, comfortable, decent on fuel, spacious, semi luxurious, feature rich, and best of all - reliable! Can easily reach 500000km if taken care of.

[@luckyndlovu2926]

How much is maintenance?

[@blaquenguni9249]

Do you have 2 other suggestions ?...

[@cartooniverse8891]

Trackers are useless but at least they reduce your insurance premium. I don't expect to have it recovered with the tracker, I just want the savings. Do the maths before though, make sure that you're actually saving. For me it's around R200 a month in savings (even with the monthly cost of the tracker factored in). Doesn't seem like much but it adds up over time.

[@BledLed]

Hi Muzi, great video,but I don't agree with your comment on Mercedes Benz. I have been driving my ML for 8 years ,it's at 258 000km and no issues. I drive I between my two homes in Nelspruit & Midrand. I also use it for my daily commute to my office in Vanderbiltpark. The Merc ML is a workhorse and I will recommend the brand at any time

[@dingaankamanga8286]

Now let's get practical, how much do you spend on service and wear and tear items compared to someone who decides to buy one of the cars that Muzi recommended. It's not that the German machines are not reliable. It's just that they are more expensive to repair on the case where something were to go wrong and need replacing.

[@nkosinathimnisi2586]

Would you recommend a 2020 kwid 1.0 dynamique for 99k with 66k mileage for someone needing to do city driving all day. Roughly covering 50 to 100km city driving mostly per day. It's a female driver. How's the cost of service and maintenance on these cars. Not really worried about build quality as long as it's sufficient for A to B driving stop and go around town

Hello Muzi. Can you please also include Demo cars during the videos for pre-owned. I’m curious if it’s advisable to buy Demo cars

[@dinopadayachee8289]

Demo's are only good options if you were initially setting out to buy a brand new car. You'll get a few thousand off the brand new price and maybe a some extras thrown in to sweeten the deal. A good financial buy if you're looking for something that's not too old is a 3 year old second hand car because almost all of the depreciation would have been paid off by the first owner, and you may still have some warranty or service plan left on the car.
