    Tips For Buying Your First Muscle Car

    Very few people do not have a dream muscle car in the back of their minds, one they have coveted for a long while and that has a certain colour scheme, gadget configurations, or even a personal memory attached to it in some way. 

    Indeed, some would say it is just that – a dream. However, others will seek to make their dream a reality. If you’re yearning for the ultimate car of a lifetime, here are some tips on how you can go about finding and buying it.

    1. Sourcing Online

    Obviously, one of the largest arenas for purchasing any type of car is the internet, and this is because it is not only main dealers that can sell their stock online but also the average individual that just wants to move their old car on to purchase another one. The web also opens up the possibility of buying your dream car from anywhere in the world, not merely from your local marketplace.

    1. Importance of Test Driving

    It is important to test drive your dream car’s make and model – even if it’s not the exact one you intend to buy. Many vehicles look fantastic on paper and in photos, but they all feel, smell, and drive differently. 

    Plus, muscle cars are not cheap, and you should make sure that the one you have chosen is a good fit for you; otherwise, it could end up being a very expensive driveway ornament for all your neighbors to look at – and nothing more.

    1. Bringing Your New Car Home 

    Regardless of where your new muscle car is stationed, you are going to have to get it home. Some businesses offer a delivery service, and of course, you could organize a courier to collect and deliver the car to you – but it is more likely that you are going to be looking forward to getting behind the wheel yourself, so you might want to fetch it and take a slow and enjoyable drive home with it. 

    In this case, you should make sure that you have some kind of breakdown cover in the event anything goes wrong on your journey and ensure you have the contact details of a reputable car accident lawyer to hand, such as therawlinsfirm.com – just in case. This will mean that should you find yourself involved in a road accident, you have an expert who can help you through the confusing legal system and get a favorable outcome for you.

    Summary

    Sourcing your dream muscle car should be relatively easy if you are not constricted to your local area only. Using a powerful sourcing tool like the internet will allow you to see all of the cars that you could be interested in worldwide, which means that you could very well find one at the perfect price for you. 

    However, you must take time to book a test drive where possible and make sure your chosen muscle car is for you. Last but not least, if you’re not arranging delivery of your new vehicle, drive it home slowly and safely – and have not only breakdown insurance but also the details of a vehicle lawyer in the unlikely event of an accident.

    • 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?
