Vehicle trade

[Mogadee]

Good day. Is it possible to trade one expensive car for two cars equivalent to the expensive one? Ie bakkie and a small car.

 

[SauRoNZA]

It's certainly possible.

Whether anyone would do it is another story.

Ultimately all depends on the value of the vehicle at hand and if the person's selling the two cheaper cars would make a profit from the deal or not.

Yes, although you would struggle to get such a deal, the popularity of trade ins is usually on the premise of people trading in less expensive cars for more expensive ones, thus having to finance the bulk of the amount so that in the end the benefit to the customer is very small if any. If I hear you correctly you want to exchange your car for two cars equal with the combined value equal to your car, as in here is my Beemer valued at R220k in exchange for two Datsun GO valued at R110k each, right?

That's correct, am paying R13000 on the car

Why would you trade your Beemer for two Datsuns.

Well if that’s the case it means he owes most of the money to the bank so isn’t going to get much of anything out of it.

Might as well just sell it and start fresh with the two new ones.

OP hasn't provided much info to go on. My deduction is that he would rather spend the same money on 2 vehicles instead of 1. With an instalment of R13k the current car must still be fairly new and quite an expensive car, so as you said, most of what it's sold for will go to the bank. If it's a R13k instalment on an older car, it's probably depreciated so much that he isn't going to get much on trade (look at the prices of 6 or 7 year old Range Rover Sports for example)
