Test drove a 2016 i10 with 71,000km. So still has the balance of a 7 year/200,000km warranty. They do a Dekra Condition Report. Trade in on the Corsa is R23,000, no on-the-road fees and price is R105,000 for a total cost of ownership of R82,000.
Will take it pending a positive Dekra report as well as some minor scratches of the left being repaired.
I'm shopping at 10+ dealers and the offers and experience is vastly different.
Yep, one dealer in TV when I was buying last year, walked in saying my budget is R150k but can stretch to R200k if good straight up told me I can't afford anything there even though it's all second hand stuff. I remember going there two years before that when we last purchased a car, that sales agent was way better and they had quite a few cars on the lot going for R180k (though imho none of them were worth more than R140k at best, way overpriced there but expect to negotiate down).
Went to a new dealer around the corner, they were pretty good, sales person even made a plan to bring car around so I can test the one.
Other two places next to each other, the one Toyota sales person told me, when I asked what the fuel consumption was, "about R500". Then after that I had to explain to him that it's a 6 shift and not a 5 shift because the reverse was a gear. Still better than the place across the road that flat out refused me test driving anything there since they'd have to shift two cars around.
Other place there in Sunningdale was better, forgot the name, they just started a bit high in price but negotiated down, didn't end up going with them since preferred the Up.
I don't understand dealers, most of them don't seem to want to do business or won't lift a finger if you look like you're not spending at least half a bar.
My car is sold now though to family, don't need it since lock down and gone in a month.
