So Many Used-Car Dealerships – But Who to Choose?


There seems to be no shortage of used-car dealerships in every city and town, so you can be forgiven for thinking they are all the same. They are not. Once you actually go to the trouble of perusing each one’s credentials, testimonials, qualifications, and added-value services, you will come away disappointed with a lot of them and mightily impressed with a proven establishment like Atterbury Motors. Why would you run the risk of buying a vehicle from one of those shady, backyard used-car dealerships that hardly offers you anything more in terms of peace of mind than a complete stranger selling their vehicle privately?

The Atterbury Motors Difference

Atterbury Motors is not one of those run-of-the-mill used-car dealerships. We understand the intricacies of the South African motoring landscape and we offer the type of vehicles on our showroom floor that the market demands today. You will see that reflected in the number of SUVs, crossovers, and bakkies that we sell, even though we have not neglected the sedan market. Sedans are just not nearly as popular as they once were. Of course, small city hatchbacks are always in demand and we always have several of those on display.



Catering to the Changing Market

The motoring landscape is changing and used-car dealerships’ lots have to change in unison, reflecting the current tastes of South Africans. Whereas sedans ruled the roost in the ’80s, they have gradually been supplanted, first by hatchbacks and now by SUVs and crossovers. Especially crossovers are very popular and cars like the Nissan Qashqai, Toyota RAV4, and Volkswagen Tiguan often sell in far bigger numbers than their more pedestrian, low-riding stablemates. They offer car-like handling and economy, but with just that smidgeon of extra ground clearance to traverse dirt tracks with confidence – just what the average household nowadays needs in order for their daily driver to double as practical holiday transport.

What also makes us different amongst used-car dealerships is that we are accountable and honest. We have worked hard to earn so many positive testimonials and we are not about to do anything to jeopardise our reputation as one of the best dealerships in Pretoria. To make sure that our standards remain as high as ever, we are accredited with various bodies to which we are accountable; these include the Independent Dealer Association (IDA) and the Bluechip premier dealership group. Honesty and transparency brought us to where we are today and remain our core values.
