The Cornerstones In Finding A Reliable Used Car

 Before you start phoning dealerships in search of reliable cars for sale in Pretoria - read these two rules.

Golden Rule #1: The Golden Service Book

When you inquire about a car you’re interested in buying, the first question you need to ask is to get pictures of the service book. 

A vehicle which has been properly maintained (serviced on a regular basis) is always a good indication that the condition of the vehicle is better than 1 that has not been maintained. 

It’s commonsense!

Golden Rule #2: Patience is Golden

  • Be patient when searching.

  • Do your research

  • Don’t get pushed into a buy

  • Rather be sure you’re buying a reliable car for sale from a dealership in Pretoria than buying a piece of junk which will give you problems


I know these 2 rules seem simple, but I have seen what happens is they are ignored. It’s not pleasant!

Of course, always browse the available used cars at a reputable dealer like Group 1 Cars.

More Used Kia Rio Reviews From Owners

Image
When browsing for a great used car to buy - take some time to read the latest owner reviews about the Kia Rio for sale . This vehicle was the least expensive car for which I could fit. It drives like a small Audi. It is very comfortable for a big (tall and heavy) car fanatic. I’ve owned Lexus, Acura, Honda, GMC sedans and SUVs, Toyota, Volvo, VW and Chrysler, sedans a Miata and a Chevy Silverado. Never drawn to Ford's interior or driving dynamics, tried, but never took. This 2018 Kia Rio is worth more than I paid. If it is as reliable as the warranty suggests, it will be the best money I’ve ever spent. It gets hybrid-level gas mileage, it is fun to drive mostly due to the manual 6-speed. Handles like a much more expensive brand and very comfortable, secure handling. I can understand why Kia sells over 200,000 of these WW. As an Older lady, I took over a year looking @ all the compacts as loved my old dodge neon. I couldn't find anything as comfortable esp since almost all of th

BMW 1 Series - King Of Premium Hatches (2021 Model Review)

Image
A moment’s silence please, for the passing of the rear-wheel-drive BMW 1-series. But hang on a second, because does anyone actually care? Chances are if you’re into cars, then which axle is driven probably does matter, a bit . But it has been said, anecdotally and perhaps by driving enthusiasts peering down their noses, that many 1-series drivers were never really aware of their car’s sporting rear-drive credentials anyway. So BMW’s switch to FWD – and all-wheel-drive in the case of the M135i xDrive – for its latest premium hatchback isn’t as sacrilegious as it might sound. Despite the switch to FWD, BMW still markets the 1-series as a ‘sporty’ family hatch . And luckily for BMW, the rear-to-front switcheroo hasn’t diluted the formula. It’s still a cracking steer. Woah, before we get into pre-loaded anti-roll bars, let’s talk tech You’re as qualified as we are to judge the One’s styling, so we’ll save you a subjective critique on that rather fussy grille and skip straight to things l
