    How to Get the Best Resale Value of a Car?

    Are you planning to sell your used car? Having knowledge of the best time to sell your car can help you save a lot of money. We all know that the value of a car drops by 20-30% in its first year of use itself. When the depreciation value of a used car is so high, you need to consider a few important parameters before you decide upon selling your old car.

    What Causes Depreciation?

    One of the main reasons for depreciation in the used car value is the mileage. A 30,000 to 40,000 miles mark is when the car needs its first major service. If you plan on selling, your car before you hit this mileage mark, you might get a higher price for the vehicle. Once you hit this mark, the value of the vehicle depreciates further, and you will also have to pay for the major service cost of the vehicle.

    It is advisable to use a car for at least over 3 years before resale as the depreciation value of a new car is quite high (20% first year and 50% over the next 3 years). Maintain your car to reduce the depreciation value further.

    Best time to Sell your Used Car:

    The Right Season:

    The best time to sell your used car is spring and summer as people love to travel this time of the year. You need to avoid winters as it is the holiday time and most people spend their budget on buying gifts and making arrangements for their holidays.

    Before You Hit the Mileage Mark

    The car’s mileage plays an important factor in deciding its resale value. As soon as a car reaches a mark of 60,000 to 70,000, your warranty expires, and buyers will not be willing to pay a high price for cars which has no warranty coverage as they might have to spend extra money on repairing the car.

    When the Car is in a Good-Condition:

    Selling a well-maintained car at a good price is much easier than a car which needs repair. Any buyer would be interested in a car which has been looked after rather than a car which has functional issues. The cost of fixing your used car by the buyer will cause depreciation in the value of the car drastically.

    When Your Car No Longer Meets Your Needs

    Your vehicle requirement can change over time as per your lifestyle. With time you may get married and have kids which will require you to get a family sized car and then later in life with your kids away in college, you may wish to downsize the car you own. If you are sure you need to sell a car, you should not delay the process even by a day as the value of the car depreciates every day. 

    Different Vehicles have Different Values

    If you plan on reselling a car after using it for a few years, buy vehicles such as pickup trucks or SUV’s which are popular and give you a good resale value. Sedan, hatchback and sports car are likely to take a bigger depreciation hit hence the resale value of these are low.

    Selling a car can be a daunting process. Keeping these key factors in your mind can help you sell your junk car for cash giving you a satisfactory value for it.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
