Car Buying Mistakes Part 3 - (Auctions, Salesmen, Research and Budget)

This video is about common car buying mistakes such as buying a car at an auction, poor budgeting and more.

[@robintyson591]

My advice - don't ask them how much the car is, rather tell them how much you have in your budget - let them come down to your budget rather than them calling the shots.

[@nathanaelbartholomew]

@@atobee2595 it's not bad advice, you must use your brain when you listen to advice.

[@Trajectoree]

@@atobee2595 That's if you tell them how much you are willing to pay monthly. Give them the max you'll pay for the car itself, not the monthly installment.

[@thabolepota496]

@@atobee2595 you tell them that I'm willing to spend R200k for everything not I'm willing to pay R4000 each month.

"Stop with brand loyalty. VW don't even know who you are - they just want to sell you overpriced hatchbacks and SUVs"

[@Mal_Dyl]

VW and toyota people buy them more for their resale value as well as service centers that are across South Africa as those two brands tend to have the most of.

[@lindokuhlengcamu519]

@@Mal_Dyl this is why VW will charge you far more than brands like Suzuki. Most people who buy Toyota and VW are buying cars to use as daily runners. Not many people think about resale value.

Many people buy cars to show off or to compete with each other. All my colleagues bought cars worth more than 250k and are struggling. Then you get me who saved and bought a well looked after 2004 Audi A4 1.8T avant. No monthly payments except insurance and all the luxuries they have I also have. I have a family to feed not a community to impress. 😉

Where I work, I see white people driving old cars like Tazz, conquest. And they earn far more. Black people always come to work with expensive cars. You know I believe that these white folks have top of the range cars at home

I’ve only watched 1 video of yours and thought to myself, he should consider opening a second hand car consultation company. Buying a good trust worthy second hand car can be an intimidating ordeal. And I’d pay someone with the experience and know how to go through the finding a car for me loops I really would. Tell them my budget and what I’m looking for and pay a consultation fee. Once they find the car I just go in and sign? You kidding me? Perfection!!

[@lifasethosa3138]

With the electricity thing Eskom uses an increasing block charge. For the first block (600 kWh) they charge a set price( e.g., R1.50 per kWh) for the next block (600 kWh) the price is higher (e.g., R2.00). If you bought 500 kWh at the beginning of the month and you want to top up middle of the month buy just the 100 kWh left over. If you buy more Eskom will charge you the higher price for all of Units. I explained this badly but hopefully it makes sense. Also the numbers are just for example purposes not what is really charged.

[@nkgudih]

Good advice-the system is called IBT ( Incline Block Tariff), basically is a way of punishing for higher electricity consumption. Is supposed to favour the poor but is not simply because Mzansi people are wasteful in general. From next year April, The IBT Will fallout & Homeflex will be implemented. A tariff based on Time of use.Homeflex give users the opportunity to be efficient, in simple terms. Yes, electricity will never be cheap again, that’s what Musa is saying. Great work Musa❤

[@thusomahlatji6268]

@@nkgudih Thanks for the information . Can you explain a bit more about homeflexi

[@nkgudih]

@@thusomahlatji6268 Put simply, Homeflex is based on time of use(TOU), with three type of electricity tarrifs,1. Off-peak ( lowest),standard tariff,& peak tariffs( most expensive & only applicable during weekdays, except for holidays) For instance, if u are going to run your geyser during peak hours(17:00-21:00), you will pay for that consumption at peak tariff as compared to Off-peak like between 21:00-05:00. This applies to week days, as weekend there are no peak tariffs.Added to this consumption tariffs, you are goi g to pay fixed amount for using the infrastructure, let’s call it connection fee. U can do nothing about fixed charges but u can do a lot ( optimise)about consumption to reduce bills. Bottom line, electricity will never be cheap again

[@ntjemoholo3121]

If u buy electricity of R600 you fall from the 3rd block not first block. The higher the amount the lesser the units. First block start with (0-50) rand.

[@bongarozani272]

As a first time car buyer one take away message from this is to not buy according to brand or not buy according to whether you qualify or not rather, buy within your budget. Budget cars or second hand cars. Awesome.

[@moffatk7948]

Hi Muzi great content as always. You right makgowa a gafa🤭. You correct again about brand loyalty and snob badges it's not worth guts. For me firstly don't use emotions when buying a car you cant afford, it's not an investment and dealers don't have your interest at heart you just another number. A lot of new car buyers don't think that the monthly amount you pay say R8000 you wont have it, for the whole term of contract, and its likely to increase due to fuel hike and higher interest rates. So do proper home work.

Love your Video, but what about people who just started working, people earning between 10-15k, should they go for second hand cars or should they avoid cars completely, i feel like this videos is aimed at the middle class only. In your future releases, we would like to see you giving us advise on second hand cars, servicing and insuring of these second hand cars.

[@kgothatsoramokgopa2971]

But he did advise and say a car should cost you about 20% of your salary. He also said you must know how much you are willing to spend. On the first video about car buying mistakes he said it's sometimes not worth it to save on a car and buy things like Kwid, a taxi can be a better option. I don't think that kind of advise is limited to middle class only You must assess if certain expenses are really worth it. Sometimes financial freedom should be prioritised over possessing things like cars. This guy has a video about downsizing, for some people that's a taxi They always say before buying something like a car or house, put money equivalent to the instalment away for a year and see if you can survive. If you don't touch that money and you life is fine then you are good to go. You can use the money you saved to lower your installment at some point, to build your emergency fund or clear small debt like clothing accounts and you focus on just your car
