Atterbury Motors – The Last Word in Quality Used Cars

How times have changed! While, at the time of writing, monthly new-car sales in South Africa were down 8,1% year on year, the composition of the local vehicle market has also changed unrecognisably from what it looked like just 10 years ago. Whereas plane-Jane sedans once ruled the roost, the sales charts are now topped by hatchbacks like the VW Polo and Polo Vivo, yet these are regularly outsold by the Toyota Hilux bakkie. Besides bakkies, South Africans also love their SUVs, with small models like the Ford EcoSport and VW T-Cross regular entries on the top 10 and the Toyota Fortuner being the top-selling large model. However, new vehicles are also very expensive in 2020, so the demand for quality used cars has never been higher.

Whether it is to have a better view of the traffic ahead or because of the deteriorating state of our roads, it seems that the high-riding SUV is here to stay. And you don’t have to spend a fortune on one either because of the new breed of compact, affordable crossovers now available from nearly every manufacturer. Offering a higher ride height than a car, yet without the excessive weight and unnecessary all-wheel-drive systems of the big models, models such as the afore-mentioned EcoSport and T-Cross have become very popular – along with similar models from rival brands, like the Hyundai Venue, Kia Seltos, Suzuki Ignis, Toyota CH-R, and Honda BR-V. However, affordable they might be compared to large vehicles, but cheap they are not when bought new, hence the thriving market for quality used cars in this class.

Atterbury Motors is a purveyor of just this type of quality used cars in Pretoria and the impressive selection of vehicles our showroom floor reflects exactly how the local car-buying market has changed. And we don’t just sell quality, we sell peace of mind too. Our used cars all pass a stringent AA DEKRA roadworthy test and are detailed to look their best.
