    Why Reputation Counts in Used Car Purchase

    Anyone looking for a second hand car needs to be certain of its quality. That involves more than being able to test drive a recently cleaned and shiny car. There can be many things wrong under the bonnet that will not be revealed simply by a short spin around the block. The most important thing is to deal with someone who can be trusted and has demonstrated that time and again. It is not that individuals are necessarily dishonest, but companies with a good reputation in the trade can offer so much more.

    Performance and Services
    Cars need regular servicing and maintenance. If you are considering buying a car with miles on the clock you want to know that the mileage is genuine and what life has been like for that car since it first took to the road. You also want to know how it will perform when it goes back on to the road.
    In terms of a purchase, a good dealer will have the car ready for use and provide a warranty whatever the age of the car. If that warranty comes with the possibility of finance packages and MOT services it is surely not worth looking any further.

    Peace of Mind
    None of those things come with a purchase from a private individual. It is most convenient to deal with someone local who will then offer regular maintenance for the car. Someone in the North of Scotland for example should really think twice about buying a car from the north of England if they are based in Inverness for example. It is so much better to put their trust in a dealer that will do the assessment of the car for you, someone like used cars Inverness.

    Decision Time
    The decision to buy a car is a fairly big one. This is why the recession impacted on the trade as consumer confidence took a hit. Job security was an issue for a few years and that meant people were nervous to commit themselves to new loans or to a purchase which may see them start to struggle financially. Happily the recession has receded and things are looking much brighter. In Scotland there was also the uncertainty of the political future due to the referendum vote last autumn. That has now passed, so overall the future is more predictable.
    People on the roads want reliability when they are travelling. There is little they can do about rod conditions but the decision on where to go to get a second hand car is entirely in their hands. If they have any doubts they should think seriously about the car, its history and the future servicing available to ensure that reliability.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
