Buying a new car or a used car can be a very exciting time in your life, where you are moving forward and upward on the social ladders – so things are happening for you!
It could also simply be that your situation and needs have changed, so you need to buy a vehicle with different attributes or you need to free up some cash or some space.
There are many reasons why people may want to buy or sell a car.
Often you want to sell the old one and buy the new one and try to do it in one go, so you don’t sit stranded in between.
It may be that you are emigrating or it could be you are selling from a deceased estate.
Now, when you are talking about selling your car you may be faced with a few concepts that you might want to get cleared up as you have not done it before.
You may ask:
“What’s better, to sell privately or to trade in?”
“How do I know if I am getting a good price for my old car?”
“How do I know if I am not paying too much for the car I am buying?”
“What is licensing, roadworthy and Change of Ownership all about?”
“Can I sell a car that I still owe more on than what I can sell it for?”
“What is an over-allowance?”
“Are there different kinds of finance available?”
Hopefully you realize that for the majority of cases, selling a car and buying a new car is very much intertwined because obviously the more you get for the old one, the less you have to pay on the new one.
It may even make or break the deal. It could be the difference between realizing that ultimate dream or not.
This is one of the reasons you may consider selling your old car yourself to get as much as possible for it.
Many people, however, are not prepared for that, they do not know how, or simply do not have the time. So if they can’t trade it in or if the trade-in offer is lousy they are stuck!

hi.
i want to buy a golf 1.4 tsi
R180000.00 and it has 90000 on the clock. its a 2009 model
whats your thoughts and any suggestions
is a good buy or not AB If you use the Index and Search function on Carfind and Autotrader and the like, you will be able isolate the exact same vehicles of exact same parameters. Then you can compare this price with what is available at full retail prices with finance and associated professional services from dealers, and then it should be less than that to be a good deal.

I hope to shortly publish two articles here posted by Sine Thieme who owns www.joburgexpat.com -
She wrote an Article on How to Sell a Car in South Africa, as well as How to Buy a Car In South Africa.
She did research and she felt that my information was not quite adequate because we did not want to give away too much of our game and we prefer that people rather make use of us then to do it themselves. She felt adamant that it is not difficult at all to sell your vehicle by yourself, and so she set out and sold her own car. I feel she was exceptionally lucky to sell so quickly, and as she later admitted to me- it could have gone the other way.
I feel she is a remarkably talented and driven person, and no-one should feel bad if they think she is just raising the bar a tad too high for us normal folk. Yes we can also do it as she did, but why on earth would you go through all that trouble if you could sell it to us so quickly and conveniently?
But for that reason, and to take up her challenge to be more transparent, and also to enrich our content, I will shortly publish her Articles here.
A Big Thank You to Sine Thieme, www.joburgexpat.com.
