New vs Used cars for R200,000 – What you can buy

With a budget of R200,000, the second-hand car market in South Africa becomes quite appealing.

There is a wide variety of cars on offer, and a few great bargains that can be found.

However, for the buyer who does not want to worry about what a previous owner might have put a car through, the new vehicle segment has you covered.

While new vehicles usually have less power and fewer luxurious features than their second-hand competitors for the same price, they also have their fair share of advantages.

This often includes a manufacturer-backed warranty and service plan, up-to-date equipment, a newer design, and of course that new car smell.

Using TopAuto Car Prices and AutoTrader, we found four used cars along with four new alternatives that you can buy in South Africa for R200,000.
