'Should I Buy A VW Polo For Sale?'

 

“I drive a 2013 VW Polo Vivo with the 1.6 engine. I want to upgrade to the new Polo, but it has a much smaller engine of 1.0 litres. They say it has a turbo for extra power, but how reliable is a turbo? Will it be expensive to repair? Should I just buy another VW Polo for sale, instead?”



Turbo-chargers are more reliable than they were 10 years ago, so you can buy the Polo without fear of it blowing its turbo.

The Polo comes with a three-year or 120 000km warranty included in the sales price and this will cover the car for mechanical failure. When the warranty expires, buy a new one or sell the car - there are always buyers for a used VW Polo for sale.

You can well-taken care of pre-owned Polo models at Group 1 Cars and the best part is - they only sell certified pre-owned vehicles!

Reliability Of Used Ford Fiesta Hatchback Models

Image
  If you’re browsing used Ford Fiesta models for sale - make sure to keep the following possible issues in mind before you select the used Ford Fiesta you will buy. Make sure you check carefully for any clutch problems. Smelly, slipping or otherwise faulty clutches seem to crop up fairly regularly, so make sure the clutch bites smoothly and you can change gear easily. You should also check that the turbo is working properly on examples with one fitted; you should feel a small but noticeable surge of power while accelerating when the turbo cuts in. Fiestas are often used in town, so check carefully for scuffs, scrapes and parking dings, and make sure you examine alloy wheels for kerbing and scuff marks. Some early cars' alloy wheels have also been known to buckle easily, so be sure to pay close attention to their condition and walk away from any car with juddering steering, odd repetitive noises from the wheel area, or other strange symptoms. Also, check to see if the service hist...

Should Parents Buy Their Teens Their First Car?

Image
  As far as requests from teenagers go, it was pretty tame I suppose, but it’s one that’s sparked a lot of debate in our household over the past couple of months: “Mum, will you buy me a car as soon as I get my driver’s licence?”. I could see why my daughter might have thought a response in the affirmative was even a remote possibility. She had, after all, witnessed plenty of family friends purchasing their own (older) teens' brand-new cars from which to slap P-plates. Why would I think any differently, right? Call me crazy, but I’ve actually always felt sorry for kids whose first car is a luxury vehicle purchased entirely from the bank of mum and dad. What about the thrill of attaining something you’ve saved really hard for? What about all the useful skills you learn from having to drive around a used hatchback ? Studies show humans are happiest when we’re striving for something, so what could our kids possibly have to work towards when their first car is given to them with a big ...

Expert Advice: How To Finance A Used Car

Image
Used cars can be expensive. Here's how to finance your purchase without paying more than you have to. Used cars for sale in Johannesburg can offer big savings over new ones, but if you need to finance your purchase, you may not save as much as it seems at first blush. For starters, the average price of a used car is almost R170,000—much higher than in pre-pandemic times. Interest rates for used cars can be double what you would pay for new-car financing, which is often subsidized by the manufacturer to make higher-priced new cars more attractive. With interest rates on the rise, a higher rate could cost you thousands. “The price of the used cars for sale you’re looking at in Jozi may still be pretty elevated, so it’s a good idea to avoid high-cost financing and dealer add-ons,” says Chuck Bell, a financial policy advocate for CR. “It may be better to arrange your own financing, or consider buying from a private seller, which can be more of a hassle but can result in a better pri...
