Car under R50K

[mercurial]

Need a second hand car but not sure which brands are reliable. Don't have a big budget unfortunately. Anything in particular I should look into? So many cars...

e36 BMWs are in my view the most undervalued in the under 50k bracket.

You can get a very good condition 328i for just under 50k and the other models for much less.

Parts are easily available and not expensive. A complete engine you can purchase for under 10k.

What about the COTY 1991?

Only the seasick green ones are expensive...

What's it for? Just yourself, or a family? You want performance, fuel consumption, reliability? There are a ton of factors to consider what's 'best'.

For just you, commuting to work needing low fuel consumption:
2007 Fiesta
2006 Micra

Just you, wanting performance:
E36 325i
200gxi Sabre

Family sedan:
2003 Camry/Corolla
2005 Jetta

One can't really consider a car a performance car when its quarter mile time is over 15s

What would you consider performance at that price? I'm no expert so I defer to anyone who knows more.

Any good, reliable car dealerships in Cape Town that I can look into?

 

[biometrics]

Does it need to have a 3rd dimension?

Wayne Motors, the name you can rely on.

No not really.

Unless you buy new you're taking a chance.

Does it need to have a 3rd dimension?

Only if you carpool with me.

Don't buy anything from Wayne Motors - Eugene Wayne, you have been warned:

Used to be bottom of Roeland then moved to Maitland and currently may be in Obs.

 

[mercurial]

Okay, thanks. Who's he?

 

[biometrics]

Okay, thanks. Who's he?

Bought several cars from his dad in the 90's. He was a genuine honest dealer. His son is a lying scumbag.
