    Purchasing a vehicle is a significant decision considering that the resale value tends to live in a perpetual state of decline. Regular maintenance, like oil changes, are absolutely necessary for keeping your car operating properly, but will not be enough to maintain its resale value long-term. However, with investment in the right accessories, you can preserve its value even beyond the Blue Book numbers. Here are a number of accessories that will ensure your vehicle stays in peak condition for as long as possible.

    Floor Mats

    The standard OE carpeting of your vehicle will be the first area to begin to degrade. With daily driving, you will notice that where you rest your heel while you push on the gas pedal is one of the first places to show signs of wear. The dealer-provided carpet floor mats will provide some protection, but they are not made to last, especially in harsh winter conditions. Custom-made, all-weather floor mats are designed to fit your vehicle’s year and model and these rubberized, durable liners will last as much longer than standard mats.

    Seat Covers

    The stitch points and seams of your vehicle’s seats will break down over time and are one of the first points of depreciation that will be clearly visible. But with custom-fitting seat covers, you can protect your OE material with a form-fitting material that will look like professional reupholstery. Available materials like neoprene or leatherette offer a high-quality and sporty look to your vehicle.

    Car Covers

    Attention to your vehicle’s finish is essential when trying to retain its value. Whether you park your car outside on the street or inside a garage, there are a number of ways the elements can damage its exterior. If parked outside, rain, snow, and UV-rays will deteriorate the finish, while the atmospheric moisture found inside a garage can also weaken it. However, custom car covers come in both indoor and outdoor types and will stop moisture from coming through, while allowing trapped moisture inside to escape.

    Dash Covers

    Finally, if you’ve ever seen a cracked dashboard, you know that nothing can make you doubtful of a vehicle’s condition like cosmetic damage on the dash. And if you’ve ever priced it, then you know replacing or refinishing a dashboard can be one of the most expensive repairs you can do in your interior. That’s why it’s essential to prevent dash damage from ever occurring with a custom-made dashboard cover. These protective layers are available in premium materials like suede or velour to bring a new touch of elegance to your particular model.

    A cracked dashboard is a glaring type of cosmetic damage that can really reduce the value of a vehicle. Replacing or refinishing a dashboard can be one of the most expensive repairs that can be made to a vehicle’s interior. That’s why preventing dashboard damage with a custom-made dash cover is absolutely essential. Dash covers are constructed of premium materials, like velour or suede, to add a touch of elegance to your specific model.

    Combatting the decline in a vehicle’s resale value can be daunting at first, but with the right strategy, maintaining your vehicle in peak condition can become a fun and engaging hobby. Floor mats, seat covers, and dashboard covers are a great way to keep your interior looking brand new and the right car cover will ensure its shiny finish is maintained. Enhancing your vehicle with these accessories will go a long way toward protecting your vehicle’s long-term value.

    • 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 😎

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?
