If you’re looking to buy a modern SUV or premium hatchback, many dealers will let you pay around R7,500 a month through a special offer.
This is evident thanks to the number of car specials available in this price bracket from vehicle brands.
Offering a special
Vehicle dealers are able to offer specials on new vehicles by setting up certain terms and conditions that determine how long, and how much, you will have to pay in installments and once-off charges.
These conditions usually include an upfront deposit, contract duration, interest rate, and residual value – sometimes called a balloon payment or guaranteed future value.
We found that in many instances, dealers use substantial residual payments to make the an attractive monthly instalments possible. This is something you will need to prepare for if you are buying a vehicle through a dealer offer.
Additionally, most dealer offers run for 72 months – or six years. This means you will need to budget quite far into the future.
Understanding these terms and conditions is necessary before agreeing to spend your money, but they do present an opportunity to own a new car at a friendlier monthly rate than what your bank might provide.
