Tips on buying used cars
Cars.co.za provides it’s users with thousands of cars for sale to choose from country wide. We’ve put together tips to help you find the used car that will best suit your needs:
Why buy used cars?
Of course buying a used car is not always as attractive as the lure of a new motor car model but there are many advantages to used cars:
You can afford a higher model with more luxury or performance.
Our current market means there are loads of good quality, well priced used cars to choose from.
It may also be easier to obtain car finance as prices are lower.
Car insurance rates are generally more affordable.
Many used cars are still under manufacturer warranty or come with an extended motor plan.
Which used car can I afford to buy?
Before looking at used cars decide what your monthly budget can afford. A good rule to use is that your total monthly auto repayments shouldn’t exceed 20% of your salary after tax. This may also be too much for you to afford, depending on other expenses you incur. You also need to consider availability of a lump sum for deposit on the vehicle and monthly fees such as car insurance. View our car finance section for more tips.
Does the used car for sale meet my current needs
Depending on your personality and where you are in life, your car needs (and wants) will vary hugely. If you’ve already chosen a used car make you like, have a look at others which may provide the same features and better suit your financial needs.
