    As a result of the confinement measures in recent weeks, electronic commerce has exploded exponentially, since it is enough to enter a website, choose the product or service we want, pay for it and wait in the comfort of our home, without exposing ourselves. However, it is important to bear in mind that, although this form of commerce can be attractive due to its variety and ease, even to buy accessories or components for our car or motorcycle, it is also a modality very frequented by cyber fraudsters to make yours, so in the online purchase process you must take into account some factors that can determine whether it will proceed smoothly, or on the contrary, with adversity. 

    You can buy online in two ways: stores and virtual markets. Basically, buying accessories for our car is the same as when we, say…, buy prescription sunglasses online. These offer a wide variety of products and services of all kinds, from stores related to a specific line of business to others that offer a wide variety of items. The advantages of buying online include being able to make purchases at any time without having to physically go to a store, being able to buy products and services through the opinions of other consumers, as well as special and exclusive promotions for the web, among others. If we talk about disadvantages, these could be errors in shipping, problems in cancellations and returns, risk of identity theft, additional charges more expensive than the product itself and that sometimes it takes longer to obtain an item online than in a physical store. 

    Here are some recommendations before carrying out commercial operations online, which we share with you below. 

    Know the identity of the supplier and the characteristics of your product.

    Check additional charges, such as shipping of products, conditions, taxes and forms of payment.

    Check that the portal has declared its privacy policies and read them. 

    Keep in mind the policies of return, cancellation, changes, guarantees, general conditions of purchase and restrictions. 

    Try to buy from home, save and print proof of purchase. 

    If you are going to buy with a foreign supplier, verify that it makes deliveries to our country, the extra costs and import conditions. 

    Check that the site where the purchase is made is secure, this can be corroborated when the pages start with https: // and a closed lock icon. 

    Consult with your bank and know the security mechanisms of your credit and debit card, when making a purchase online, these can be a message to your registered cell phone, a token with a unique number or a series of questions that guarantee that the purchase is made by the account holder and the rejection of the payment that you do not renounce. 

    Never share your financial data, they are personal and non-transferable, better approach your bank and know the security measures for online purchases.

    Online shopping is also a great tool to compare prices of the same product or service in other parts of the world and have a better reference, and they are a great ally for people looking for parts and accessories of classic, antique and collectable vehicles that they are restoring, some hard to come by.

    • 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.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more)?
    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

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?
