We know that choosing a vehicle can be a difficult decision, especially when it comes to pre-owned vehicles.

This is why Atterbury Motors in Pretoria is your safe option when it comes to buying pre-owned vehicles. We have a wide range of used vehicles for sale, and wherever you live in Pretoria or Johannesburg, we are easy to reach and will be happy to help.

We can heartily recommend pre-owned Toyotas and we always keep a range of them for sale for various reasons. Some of the main benefits of buying one include the following:

1.      Durability: Toyotas are known as some of the most durable new and pre-owned vehicles available on the market today. From small family hatchbacks to heavy-duty 4x4 bakkies fit for the farm, they are virtually indestructible. They have a good reputation as vehicles that can withstand extreme conditions and they have a particularly long lifespan.

2.      Great resale value: Even pre-owned Toyotas are known for their good resale value because these vehicles are just so durable and reliable. If you purchase one of the pre-owned Toyotas that we have for sale on our showroom floor in Pretoria, you can be assured of a good deal and that you will be able to resell the vehicle at a good price. Chances are, however, that you won’t want to part from your Toyota once you have bought it!

3.      Top safety features: Toyotas have many safety features that make them some of the safest vehicles for sale today. They are also known for their good crash-test results.

4.      Parts are easily accessible: Because there are so many of these vehicles on the road, it is usually very easy to find parts. With some brands, it may be difficult to get hold of spares and vehicle owners might have to wait for parts to be imported. With most Toyotas, you don’t have that problem and several models are manufactured locally, such as the Hilux, Fortuner, and Corolla Quest, further ensuring easy parts availability.

5.      Environmentally friendly: These vehicles are specifically designed to comply with or exceed all the local emission standards. This means that they are environmentally friendly.

How to Choose Between All Those Used 4x4s for Sale

If you are currently browsing the used 4x4s for sale, you might be surprised at the variety available on the market. There are so many options to choose from and you will have to be careful when making your choice. It may seem like a straightforward thing to purchase a 4x4 but, because there are so many of them for sale from dealerships and private individuals alike, you will need to do some homework before investing your money in a vehicle. Here is what to take into account before deciding on which used vehicle to choose:

·        Consider your lifestyle: Are you a farmer that must negotiate difficult terrain on a daily basis? Are you planning a cross-country safari for which you need a hardy, go-anywhere vehicle? Are you likely to tow a trailer or caravan? Perhaps you are a tour enthusiast that goes on the occasional four-wheel-drive adventure or you perhaps just like the appeal of a large vehicle that you can drive anywhere. Your needs will determine the used 4x4s you will consider.

·        Budget is key: Remember that, from all the used 4x4s now for sale, you have to choose the one that fits comfortably into your budget. Keep in mind that you will also have to pay for insurance, fuel, and maintenance. All these things need to be incorporated into how much money you have available to spend. Most 4x4s require specialised tyres and these can vary in cost, so take this into account as well.

·        Diesel or petrol: Petrol vehicles use more fuel than diesels but are cheaper to maintain. The availability and prices of parts and services will influence your decision. A lot of people prefer diesel vehicles over the petrol models for sale but there is a case to be made for both.

·        Newer vs. older: Some of the older vehicles may be easier to service because they are less complicated. If you are planning to traverse Africa, you may find that an older 4x4 will better suit your needs because you are more likely to find parts for it in other countries. If you only want to use it locally and are unlikely to go far off into the continent, you might want to opt for a more modern, safer, and more comfortable 4x4.

·        Resale value: As with everything else, a vehicle that retains its value is always a win. When looking for used vehicles for sale, the resale value bears consideration. Remember that a bakkie from a brand that has poor resale value is not necessarily off-limits because, even though it loses its value faster, it is therefore also cheaper to buy and may be a good deal, especially if you are planning to drive it for a long time.

If you are currently on the lookout for used 4x4s for sale, contact our team at Atterbury Motors. We have a wide range of reliable and modern vehicles that will suit your needs. We will handle your purchase with integrity and transparency and can even provide finance if you need it. Give us a call today.
