Quality Used Car Dealerships in Pretoria

In Pretoria, the car culture has always been part of the city’s charm. Used car dealerships, such as Atterbury Motors, are a common sight in various suburbs of the city, offering a wide variety of vehicles at affordable prices and allowing people to drive better cars for the same price they would pay for a new and smaller model. The debate of buying used cars as opposed to new cars have been raging since the dawn of used car dealerships. These dealerships make it possible for people to sell their second-hand cars for fair prices or have the option to buy a used model that they would prefer over a new model.

Some of the most popular premium brands on a used car dealership’s showroom floor are the German manufacturers, featuring names like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi. Due to the popularity of their saloons, and more recently their selection of smaller hatchbacks, these German manufacturers offer excellent quality, making their used models sought-after options for potential buyers. Some people buy a used car for its brand and appearance only, but it is important to contemplate the suitability of their selected vehicle for their specific needs. Today, we will focus on which car is best suited for specific buyers.

Used car dealerships do not always advise people which car they should buy for a daily driver. Should you be living and working in the suburban areas of Pretoria, you do not need to drive the biggest bakkie or luxury saloon a dealership has on offer, except if your career path demands it. A good choice in a daily driver for anyone living and working in populated areas is a small hatchback, ideal for singles and newlyweds. Buying such a vehicle in comparison to a large SUV or MPV that only block the visibility of everyone behind you will save you a lot of money too.

If you have children, driving a sedan with a high safety rating is recommended, granting more than enough space for everyone in the car and keeping everyone safe in case an accident occurs. Driving a luxury estate is also practical for the city as a daily driver, should you be the one to carpool the children to and from school, or be fortunate enough to have a large family and a couple of pets as well. In the end, driving around in a bigger vehicle that sits higher off the road is also popular for a daily driver in the city and suburban areas of Pretoria, by dint of the view it offers. Being smart about your car choice can be beneficial to not only your bank account, but also your monthly budget for maintenance and fuel.

A Car Dealership with a Great Variety

Walking into car dealerships, people usually zone in on a single model or type of vehicle, depending on their taste and needs for a specific type of vehicles. Used car dealerships would offer much more variety than brand car dealerships, as well as a decrease in the overall pricing of the vehicles, as they are mostly second-hand models.

With a variety of vehicle types and brands to choose from, Atterbury Motors is one of the car dealerships where you are very likely to find the exact model you have been looking for in Pretoria. When it comes to deciding on which car would be the ideal daily driver for your specific needs, you should always take the types of roads you will be driving on into consideration. Today, we will be looking at the variety of cars that car dealerships such as Atterbury Motors offer, and what their unique strengths are for choosing them as daily drivers.

When you spend most of your time driving on tarmac, a small car that is specifically designed to good surfaces and run as fuel-efficiently as possible will not only save you money, but also take the stress out of rush hour and parking. Compact hatchbacks, sedans, saloons, and estates are always available at used car dealerships, giving you a very wide range of cars to choose from.

Hatchbacks are ideal for students and single people, with sedans being useful if you need more space for equipment transportation and luggage. A luxury German saloon is always a comfortable and rewarding choice for business people with families to be driven around, while estates are ideal for big families and stay-at-home parents who carpool their children to and from school daily.

For those who encounter dirt and gravel roads daily, car dealerships usually offer bigger and/or higher-riding models that offer better ground clearance to deal with uneven driving surfaces. Big, bulky SUVs are not ideal for driving in populated and suburban areas, but they do come into their own once the tarmac ends and the gravel begins. With various gravel and dirt roads around the suburban areas of Pretoria, these vehicles are commonly seen at used car dealerships, with a choice between SUVs, MPVs, and bakkies to handle the tougher roads.

Fuel economy on these models are usually much worse than the regular city cars, especially in comparison to light hatchbacks, so when you buy a bigger car, always ensure that you really need it to handle dirt and gravel roads on a daily basis. If not, stick to a more affordable and smaller option that is specifically designed for tarmac and asphalt roads. Or, perhaps, one of the increasingly popular crossovers that are now all the vogue.

We Sell Pre-Owned Cars

The car culture in Pretoria has always been a rich collection of fans of various car brands, whether it is bakkie lovers or hot hatch enthusiasts. However, many people do not drive the right type of car for their usage patterns. Walking into a dealership that offers a variety of pre-owned cars for sale is where the decision-making process should start for potential buyers.

For those who are pure petrolheads, the decision is usually simple and based on how much performance they can afford, while others choose cars based on their looks, size, or brand, as opposed to their practicality as daily drivers. No matter which method you choose to pick your next car, it is always important to calculate the running costs of your daily driver and try to minimise these costs without settling for any old rattle trap. This might sound strange to an avid car fan who only drives a specific type of car, irrespective of its maintenance or fuel costs, so let us dive into some detail about it.

If you are the proud parent of a teenager who is about to matriculate and get their own driving license, your best choice for their first car would be a small hatchback, even though they want that sports car standing on the showroom floor at the local dealer. Looking at pre-owned cars for sale for this type of driver, is advisable due to opt for something compact and economical that can keep our new driver safe behind the wheel. Many small hatchbacks achieve good ratings in crash tests nowadays, but it is also important that airbags and an ABS braking system also form part of the car’s safety specification. Accidents can happen to inexperienced drivers at any time.

For the parent, a luxury saloon is always a smart choice for suburban use, granting them quality and safety within a car that can easily handle long road trips as well, and has more than enough room for the children and the luggage in the back. Brands like Mercedes-Benz and BMW are good options regarding pre-owned cars we have for sale and can be the most enjoyable and effective manner of transportation without having to spend tons of money on a brand-new model.
