5 Things you need to know when buying used cars for sale in Vanderbijlpark

1. When is the best time to buy a used car?

“There’s always a lot of promotions and stuff going on, so I suppose when the Rand is weaker new cars get more expensive and it is always good to shop around for a low mileage late model used car, it can give you great value for money at a fraction of the cost.” said Angus.

2. How much mileage is too high for a used car?

“I deal with sports cars and classics. The definition for mileage obviously varies, I think for a normal everyday car 20,000 km a year is probably a good margin. But for a sports car it's much lower than that. A Ferrari must have no mileage on, anything from 5,000 to 10,000 km a year. It varies from car to car, but I would say those are the parameters.” 

3. Is mileage more important than age, or is age more important than mileage when purchasing a used car? 

“Yes. Mileage is important, I would say the three most important things are: the mileage, the service history of the car and the accident history of the car. These are the key things to look at when buying a sports car.”

4. Is it true that it’s cheaper to buy a car with cash? 

“You would laugh, you know, at what makes it easier to quicken our deal, but I would say yes to a degree but also if there is bank finance involved you've got the benefits of getting a commission from the bank.  So yes or no, they can, if it's a car that you want to move quickly and it's not something that you want sticking around then you might do a deal.”

5. What are your final tips for anyone looking to buy a used car in Vanderbijlpark?

“Find the best car you can with your budget — buy a car with the best history, the best mileage and best condition. Don’t settle for second best, second best will cost you more in the long run.”
