    You must also be carefully of ghost bidders - people who bid with no intend to buy but to push the price up. Usually people from the auction

      Once saw a Polo Vivo being sold for more than 100k at an auction.. That's excluding the auction fees.
      50% of the attendees at auction are ghost

      The finance route is there to make your life easier, the more you're willing to pay, the easier and quicker your things will move. So I guess you were in a hurry to buy or just didn't have the heart to do homework.
      Congratulations by the way 😊😉

    If you have intention to buy, have a good mechanic with you.
    I bought a car at the auction last year and it was being sold as a runner. On the day of collection I realized that the car has had a problem, but I was like "this is a minor problem I'll take it to panel beaters"
    Long story short, took it for panel beating and guess what I ended up paying more than 50grand just to fix it but again it still has some other problems.
    When I bought the car it had less than 1000km in it.

    Hi Nicolette,
    I hope you’re well.
    I would like to ask;
    •Is it possible for a bank e.g wesbank to finance a car that you buy at an auction?
    • Let’s say you buy a second hand car from a dealership, you paying the car via installments (the car is R200 000) and you’re paying for insurance, it still under warranty. After driving the car for few 2months a problem arises, engine related, when you take it to workshop for repairs they say its going to cost (R170 000) to fix the problem and the insurance doesn’t want to pay they say the issue was caused by your negligence.
    1. What can you do?
    2. Can you take the car back to the dealership before you can fix it?
    3. Is it possible for such a problem to cost almost the same as the car price?
    4. How can ombudsman help in this case?
    5. According to Consumer Protection Act can you take the car back to the dealership and demand your refund if the 60days hasn’t passed?
    I’m asking lot of staff please bare with me

    Hi Nicollet
    Your videos are so informative, for the purpose of attention (items of the eyes) when using one camera I suggest
    - not having your so close to the screen, I see straight into your eyelashes
    - add graphics e.g. highlight of the things you talking about
    - it's some how watching a face straight in front of you for 11mins.
    Also consider it for Smart TV CZcams Viewing

    A car is not an investment if you only use it to take you from *point A to point B.* Auctions are good if you wanna safe cost and out 🆙 the car to help make you money. Now that's *investmt/asset* but be sure to know everything about the car.

      A car is also an investment if it just takes you from point A to point B, because taking you to point A to point B can be generating you money as well.

    I've been to car auctions and yes, it's crazy how polo's and BMW bids go at retail price. The bidding competition is just senseless on those cars.

    Helo. You missed the most important part. How do you pay for it. they want cash sameday or you can go and take a loan at the bank to pay for that car?

      A bank loan pays the money to them. Get a preapproval. Terms and conditions obviously
