The sky-high prices of South Africa’s “pre-owned” crossovers

South African car buyers are no longer haggling for discounts, but rather to pay the full price and nothing more.

Drive the car your heart desires, not the one your wallet can afford as nobody can put a price on impressing your friends.

The days of a car losing its value when leaving the showroom are gone. People are listing models from a couple of years ago for higher than they bought them.

Who the hell will pay half a bar for a poverty spec EcoSport! You must be jazz to even consider that.

It seems like it would be a huge risk to buy at these inflated prices, would you even be able to get finance?

They can f*** right off.
Thank you dealerships for doing this, every now and again I get naughty and look for a new car. If it was at the list price perhaps I would go for it (as I did with my last 2 cars). 20% over list price just makes the decision to walk away so much easier.
