Top-Quality Used Cars for Sale from Atterbury Motors


Some of South Africa’s most popular pre-owned car retailing platforms have over 60 000 used cars for sale at any given moment. Pre-owned vehicles are certainly big business in South Africa, especially in view of the prohibitive price of admission to the new-car market. It seems like just the other day that we could still buy an entry-level Chinese hatchback for less than R100 000 but at the beginning of 2020, reality dictates that the cheapest new passenger car costs in excess of R140 000 – and this price will be well and truly outdated, given another year.


 Pre-Owned Value for Money

Which is why so many of the used cars for sale today are such stellar value for money. Taking our turn-of-the-decade base-model price point of R140 000, we find that, for the same money, you can buy a far more upmarket, safer, more prestigious, and more luxurious pre-owned vehicle, and you don’t even have to settle for an ancient one with hundreds of thousands of kilometres on the odometer. If you don’t mind opting for an older model and you keep sensible tabs on the mileage, you can bag yourself a high-value European sports sedan with all the bells and whistles for this type of price and little more than 100 000 km on the “clock”.

Of course, not all used cars for sale in the classifieds offer similar value for money when bought second-hand and you have to do your homework to see what similar models cost out there and what is a reasonable price to pay. As a rule of thumb, the country’s top-selling new models will also hold onto their value best when bought used. You might end up paying more for your popular model used, but this does not have to be a deal-breaker because it will continue to retain its value well and if you care for it properly, you will again be able to sell it at a great price. Conversely, you can buy one of the more obscure brands that lose value fast and drive away with incredible value for money, simply because you paid so little for it.

Peace of Mind

The problem with these obscure used cars for sale at low-low prices is that you might be apprehensive about your long-term prospects and whether you can rely on the vehicle. That is why it is important to buy your second-hand vehicle from a reputable dealership such as Atterbury Motors.
