I'd have this over that Peugeot.

Best to avoid 2nd hand French cars.

Yeah that will be a chick magnet. I can pull the first available crack whore I can find on a Monday morning.

A month ago I was cut off going around a corner by a moron who was going to fast and as he came past me over corrected and cut me off. I slammed on brakes and the car went sliding clipped an embankment and it rolled. So anyway due to the cars age (14years) and high kilos (424000km) and excess I will only get out R40k. I was retrenched last year during Covid and at the moment I am getting by on part time work so am living from wage to wage so I cannot finance anything.

I have been scouring the classifieds and there really isn't much out there for R40k. Some look like good deals and by the time I call which is a few hours after someone posts the car is sold already. Then there are 20-30 year old heaps that people think are worth a fortune because they think their cars are some sort of legend because it has some crappy aftermarket sports steering wheel.

Uber until you get a permanent job ?

That way you only pay for the vehicle when you need it.

R40k will get you a beach buggy with papers and you can buy a surfboard with the spare cash.

Front headrests are gone + driver's seat looks like a warzone = a porno was shot there.

Maybe he has inside knowledge

I was also pondering if the "scene" looked familiar to him..

Off topic. but has anyone ever heard of someone in a car crash that admit it was their fault?

I got retail. R45600. Would have been more if it had less mileage. Excess has to come off so I get out R40100.
