Did you test drive the auto?
How did it look inside and outside?
Why is the guy selling it, private sale?
Overall view of it since you have seen it and driven it and compares to other in its class?

See what I mean about the old one being “old” now?
I’d put it on a Cars.co.za auto mailer watch list and wait it out.

You'd put what on a mailer list?
Cars.co.za let’s you setup an auto mailer based on filters you select.
So the moment there’s a new listing for that specific car they’ll email you.
So I should pass on the X I drove because?

Oh no if you are happy with the one you drove go nuts.
I thought price was an issue so that’s why I recommended waiting it out.
Sorry if I read like my @$$, but the one bwana posted is a 2016 and I see for R16k more, you can get a 2017 model or is that over your budget @bwana?
Which one is the 2017 you're referring to?
FWIW there is no difference between the 2016 and the 2017.

I think I'm getting the better deal at the end of the day.

Are you taking it now bwana
If you don't mind me asking, but why do you say that? Wouldn't the 2017 have better resale value?

Everything is exactly the same

I think to sort out this confusion the distinction needs to be made that the Mokka and Mokka X are two different cars.
Some Mokka X’s although MY2017 were registered end of 2016 it seems.
I am getting a Mokka X.
Possibly but much would depend on the extras I think. The one I'm currently interested in seems to have everything including the lighting package and sunroof. Plus it's local which saves me a few rand.
The only downside is the 19" tyres which are probably going to cause me some pain when it comes time to replace them.
Good luck and post some pics when you have collected it.

That's awesome.
From Opel dealer or someone else? Demo? How much if I may ask?
The 19-inch won't make much difference. The cost lies in the width which is probably the same.
They can make the ride harder though but you've already test driven it with these on so it shouldn't be a problem.

Let us know when we can say "congrats"
. Must say I didn't know it came with 19" tyres. Hoo haa - must look quite epic.
