    What You Should Know About Purchasing a Car Online

    The internet has changed the way in which we do many things in life. One of those things that has been affecting is how we buy things. Buying a car used to be a simple process. You went to a second-hand dealership and saw what they had to offer. Maybe you would buy a brand new car if you wanted to splash the cash. Private sales took place, but they are nothing like the kinds of private sales you see now. People buying used cars from other drivers online has become very common. But there are some things you should know about doing this to prevent mistakes.

    When Bidding, Set a Budget First

    Most of the car purchases that take place online are in the form of auctions. That means that you have to bid on an item and beat other bidders. The problem with this kind of purchasing is that you can get caught in the heat of the moment and bid more than the car is worth. This kind of mistake gets made all the time, and people often end up regretting it later on. So, that’s why you should always set a budget for yourself before you start to bid.

    If Possible, Check It and Drive It

    When you’re buying a car online, there is always the chance that the seller is trying to hide something from you. That’s why you should always try to have a close look at it with your own two eyes before committing to a purchase. It’s a good idea to go even further and ask the seller if you can test drive the car. This will allow you to see how it handles and drives when it’s on the road. If you’re impressed by what you find, you can then get on with the purchase.


    Think About How You’ll Receive It

    How are you going to get that car to you? This is a trick question when you are buying a car online. You could drive to the location of the seller to pick it up. But you’ll need to take someone with you to drive the other car back. And that means spending a large sum of money on fuel, not to mention the time it could take. Alternatively, you could use a service like those offered by Shiply Car Transporters. Many companies can help you with transporting your new vehicle to your home from a location far away.


    Ask Plenty of Questions

    If you can’t take the car for a test drive because you live too far away, don’t worry. There are many people who buy cars online without seeing them in person or test driving them first. Yes, it is certainly a bit more risky. But if you are using a reputable auction site, then you will be protected from dodgy sellers. However, you should do some things to avoid getting scammed. For a start, you will need to ask lots of questions. This will help you to learn as much as you possibly can about the car. You’ll want to know its service industry and any small problems it has.

    • 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.

    • Look what’s arrived in South Africa 🇿🇦

    • 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.
