Like the entry level one. No fancy anything. Monthly installment + on the road + insurance etc. Just want to get an idea if I need to entertain this thought or forget it like my ex girlfriend.
 
Do you do 96 months my man :rolleyes:o_O:sneaky::sleep:
I've never bought a car on devils contract. Always cash. Also keep them till they moeg. But I need to travel more often and leave my wife without a vehicle. Its probably just a pipe dream seeing how expensive it is. I'll keep a vehicel min. 20 years if it was brand new.
 
Is 96 months the new normal? Thats a long time to pay for a car.
Yeah I dont think I will do that unless it is a flexi contract similar to buying a house where you can pay it off earlier and you only pay interest on the amount due etc.
 
That's probably on what they call a step payment plan, over 96 months with the installment increasing every year by about 10%..
Can one pay off a car earlier similar to a house bond and reduce the interest over time?
 
Even 40 months is too long to pay for a vehicle.

Get a demo/slightly used and pay it over 3 months interest free - get your own finance.
 
R260,996

Add R10,000 between on the road fees and Smash&Grab and a cheap bottle of wine, let's make it a square R270,000.

R6067.65 per month without any deposit at prime over 60 months.

They might make you put in a deposit so say 10% then it becomes...

Deposit : R27,000
Instalment : R5470.46

Now you should come to the conclusion this is outrageous and therefore buying the base model makes no sense so you just go flat out for the top of the range and actually get something you like to drive around in.

R6355.19 with the same deposit.

Makes no sense to suffer with a basic piece of **** for so little price difference.
 
Now that's a overpriced POS. 1L engine.

Seriously the cars here is stupid expensive.
