The used-car market is booming and alongside it, the number of companies that buy cars directly from owners is also on the up.
These websites promise convenience and that they will “always offer the best price for your car” either by buying it themselves or selling it on your behalf to the highest bidder.
However, as is generally the case in the murky world of pre-owned vehicle sales, horror stories have emerged of sellers getting scammed and buyers not delivering what they have promised.
Therefore, one way for individuals to see if they can rely on the company they are working with is to look at its customer reviews.
Hellopeter, a trusted South African site where consumers can review their experiences with products and companies, is an extremely helpful tool to find out which car trader will potentially give you the least headaches.
We looked for the best-known pre-owned car traders on Hellopeter to find out how their customers have experienced them.
