Volkswagen and Toyota dominate the used market. Flaws are certain when buying an older car, but these reputable brands bring a host of strengths, not least of which is accommodating the pockets of people with a budget.

The owner of Zido Cars in Benoni and Auto Showroom in Brakpan, Zaahid Hajat, says that the longevity of these cars is unmatched, the depreciation is slow and they are reliable, so people tend to lean towards them. Michelle Mull of Kwikfit in Johannesburg concurs.When buying a second-hand vehicle, fuel consumption is a huge consideration, especially if your budget is holding out for a vehicle of less than R100 000.

Services are recommended every 15 000 km for VW and Toyota. Apart from that, you never know when you might need some spares.“VWs and Toyotas are much more affordable to repair. You don’t have to go look for an agent to buy parts, it is easier to find parts privately and it will cost you half the price when doing this instead of taking it to an agent,” he adds.

Aamir Laher, who does repairs and maintenance at Veedubtech, assures that at R50 000, a driver’s money has been well spent for a Polo, and that they will not have to spend on another car in a long time as Polos are known to go past the 400 000km mark.
