If you're about to purchase a new car in South Africa, then you might just like to take some time and read the article below before you commit to a new car. This web site has second hand cars for sale that rival new cars in quality as they come from trusted dealers that give high quality service and provide extended guarantees that might make you change your mind about second hand cars not being very good.

There are numerous reasons why you could like to buy a quality second hand vehicle; the foremost would be that you lose at least twenty five percent of a new cars resale value when you drive it off the sales room floor. This might not be a big deal to you, but it's one of the points to be mindful of when buying new.

But it doesn’t come with a guarantee I here you say? Not true! Second hand car dealerships throughout South Africa now have to provide guarantee of at least six months. Long gone are the days when a car dealer could sell you a “as it comes” car. These government gives the buyer a generous level of protection when buying second hand cars and provides up to half a year guarantee if the car should be deemed unserviceable.

This means you can be confident when you buy second hand cars in South Africa.  Pickacar.co.za has only reputable certified car dealerships participating and promoting their second hand cars here.

Yet another point to consider is the vehicle insurance expenses. If you buy a new car, you will be insuring the car for replacement cost of a new car, which is substantially higher than second hand. Here again, the twenty five percent shows up as second hand vehicles are so much cheaper. I shouldn't need to point this out to you, but it's so very real, and it represents a significant saving on the ongoing cost of buying and safeguarding a new compared to a second hand vehicle.

And the maintenance options -  what do they offer? Apart from warranties, several car dealers will give you with an extended motor plan for engines that are just about to go out of factory plan. This could require a little more money from you, but so valuable it if you like trouble free driving. All plans are very different, as it depends on how worn the motor vehicle is you are purchasing. In general, the quality of cars has increased so much of late that you could purchase a four year old car that still has one year’s warranty left on it. This makes so much sense to me. You could then purchase an extended two year guarantee from your salesman for the extra assurance. This in effect will provide you with at least three years trouble free motoring and give you complete peace of mind – and this kind of warranty is almost as good as new – but without the excessive price tag of a new car.

You might at least contemplate second hand cars the next time you look to buy a brand-new car - look at pickacar.co.za for first-class second hand cars for sale. Don't waste your money, buy used!
