Bought a Car in December 2022 BMW 3 Series Mzansi Edition it was a Demo with 3000kms on the clock and I got approved by 2 Banks namely Standard bank and Absa Bank and I chose Absa who gave me a Fixed interested rate of 15.8% because Standard bank wanted to give me a Linked interest rate of 19.5%🤣the banks are insane trust me I'm Currently Paying R17,144.53 on my car excluding an insurance premium of 3.4k and fuel depends On where I work cause I'm working as a Doctor doing my Community Service
It's the Insurance premium for me 😶..anything above 2k has to be a one of a kind,spanking new, speed dial V.I.P type of service yho. That's the amount I wished to pay on my first car as an installment 🤣 but ofcos It wasn't
It's always refreshing to see someone in a non-finance field understanding and using finance concepts ngendlela. This kind of basic knowledge should be universal.
In 2019, I bought an R line Polo, got it at Prime +0.75 as my first car. Installment is good. I never fell for all those useless dealer extras except the extended service plan (which I have no regrets over, considering the prices of servicing). Brakes, wipers and other things I do myself (dealer tried to charge me 1.4k for wipers, I got them at GoldWagen for 400 and the brand (Bosch) is better quality than VW's very own Valeo wipers). Maintenance plan is a scam if you don't read your T's & C's. A guy I know has a maintenance plan and still does his own brakes and battery - because there is a limit on how much maintenance plan covers in terms of cost. The only place where I could've improved is buying a low mileage 2nd hand one. Because right now, I have 120k km's and the car still runs like clockwork with no issues and looks like it has less than 30000 km's from the outside. As Muzi says, do your research and be patient.

Lol my man I went to the dealer knowing that the new Nissan Magnite acenta market price is 242k so I asked for quotations from 4 different dealers for Acenta(Non turbo, and Turbo) Manual and auto.... after receiving the quotes I decided to try my luck with the dealer close to me for the acenta Manual which was 262k from them and the 1 from Dealer 2(far from me) was 254k I just told them I know the market value of the car is 242k but I'm willing to go for 250k(They just had to exclude S&G, Car track and Delivery and Fuel(note the fuel was charged separately)) in total without showing them the quote from the Dealer 2. well they agreed but they just increased the monthly repayment to 5800 for 72months we argued to the point where it was pointless to argue and I just showed them the other quote and told them the only reason I was in contact with the is because they are closer, they said they can match the total amount and they did but this time I was just messing with them knowing the monthly repayment will still be ridiculous. So i asked Dealer 2 to give me a discount they said ok, then they sent me a discount of 3000k the total amount ended up being 251k so I went back to the dealer close to me and told them the amount they just matched is not valid anymore the other dealer gave me a discount and they asked me to send the quote thinking i was bluffing and i scratched the contact details and name of dealer 2 and sent them the Quote and they matched it not they just changed the repayment month from 72 to 84Months and they tried to force me into signing things with them so i just to told them i am not in a rush they need to send me a formal written quote boom they did i went to banks and compared monthly repayments with 0% balloon payment and ithala bank was the best for fixed with 12,75% please note the prime rate is 11,75% currently so i just gave them the podium from the ithala and they gave me a run around and did not want to send Invoice and told me I will never find a better deal or any dealer that can give me a car, and i told them okay because what i am doing is the same as buying the car cash ... went to dealer 2 and bought the car with full tank and registration included few days later dealer 1(Close to me asked if I got any car and i just sent them a picture) and oh dealer 1(Closer to me) once tried to sell me a Visia with the Acenta price......
I bought a toyota starlet in 2021 XS. I got an interest is 12.6% fixed for 72 month period with 100k deposit ( my plan was to finish paying it off in 24 months).I didnt know i could negotiate interest rate at the time and it was the intersrt rate i was expecting since I didn't have a credit history.Anyways im down to 9 months now, and I learned alot from your channel , I wish i had the information before . Lessons learned i guess
Never use your cash for deposit or to buy a car, buying a car is a losing proposition no matter how "clever" we think we are.... you could have rather invested that money in some low risk money market than waste it on a car...
Agree with you my friend bought a polo R line 2018 for 380000 with a deposit of 250 00 and he was paying less monthly instalments, it happened that he was unfortunately involve in an accident insurance find some loopholes not to pay, as we speak the car is beyond repair and written off park at the back room where he is renting, now he is a johnwalker as we speak
@@ChrisDiedYou guys love to say that when you don’t even know a person’s financial commitments. She could’ve bought a car with that 100000 but she/he wanted a NEW car where he/she will pay lower instalment. And the car is an asset to her as he/she will use it continuously until it stops running.
I sometimes question if it’s really worth it for a 26 year old to be paying a full comprehensive insurance package on a Polo tsi thats fully paid. Reading one of the comments above makes me question further. What are the chances that the insurance will find faults and not approve the claim incase of an accident.
@@Buhles well then if it is an asset, all the more reason to get a brand new car with warranty and maintenance plan..... You sound like all my friends, "im gonna drive this till the wheels fall off, never buying a car again!" ... They all bought like two cars again after saying that.... Like even musi could just have kept that polo gti, i dont even want to know how much he lost in that whole deal.... a car is never an asset, never.
I was sold a car that included extras and told that cars need to have that before they can leave their dealership. Day before I was to fetch the car I wrote to them a short email declining the offer. They removed all the extras and begged me to come back.
Never understood why people would buy budget cars if they could afford more, however after seeing how much money is lost on a car, VAT, depreciation, insurance, fuel, low trade in values I now get it. Its only worth spending alot if it can be a tax break
Bought my car (VW T-Roc R-Line) in February 2021 and I chose to fix the interest rate at 10,069% because I knew the prime lending rate was most likely going to shoot up post the pandemic.
Thank you so much for this information. I was about to make one of these mistakes you are talking about, until someone advised me to listen to your videos.

I think also important to note credit score which ultimately determines ur risk profile... (1) Short terms loans i.e capfin - red flag (2) Applying for a car in 3/4 dealerships all at the same time especially online ref flag (3) Using the maximum amount on ur credit card, red flag.

Hello my brother last year in may I bought a Jetta 5 FSI for 99k car was so good inside the dealer showroom I paid it cash as I was driving a car to home car sounds like it's a diesel then I stopped and phone the dealer I asked why sound like diesel they said it's how it sounds. I was under 30 days warranty. Test drive is important which I didn't do it but I ve learn my listen.The car start gives problems now.
Your analysis about cars is so helpful. Please advise, how do I negotiate when dealerships says the delivery and licensing fees are compulsory? I've got more than two qoutes from dealership and I am at a comparing and negotiation stage.
Agreed. A test drive is important. DSG transmission is the worst thing for inner city/slow driving while CVT gearboxes are the worst things to ever exist. If you want an automatic make sure it is a torque converter type.
@@thabisomichael9192 your name suggests you're a guy so I'd say steer clear. But then I haven't driven the corolla CVT, maybe it is well calibrated (although I doubt it).
Your the only person I’ve heard complain about driving a car with a dual clutch transmission dual clutches are the holy grail of transmissions please tell me how were you driving that car Single clutch gearboxes are a pain in the ass for slow driving and city driving
@@esthetics4512 a torque converter automatic is the smoothest transmission because of the fluid coupling between engine & transmission which allows slip. CVTs are just terrible. Drive one and give feedback.
I have a young newly employed man who just bought a VW Polo trendline for over R280K on a balloon of R80 465.00, with the same extras on a linked 12,75%. I said to him he must take out the extended warranty and maintenance plan from the price of the car and buy them separately, I also ask him to go and look at the Balleno and we haven't speak since (3 weeks) and I saw him driving the polo on Monday. a maintenance is 4yrs/ 60000 km and a warranty of 2 yrs/ 80000 km, he's covering 170 km plus on daily return drive. and i understood that whatever you might say if a person(s) has their heart on something your opinion won't matter.
Muzi I almost buy a car this month it was a Polo Vivo 2018 and it cost R169 500 and Absa bank approved my finance at a linked interest rate of 16% and with additional fees of R30 000 fortunately enough I was with my friend who question them how come a car that cost 169 500 end up at 200 000 then they explain things that I didn’t understand then if we tell them can they only includes car registration fees then all those unnecessary things they included they refuse then i decided to decline the offer n I told them the only way to buy this car is for them exclude all these unnecessary additions n I want a car at R176 000 They refuse n I decline the offer
I got the same car...ur situation is similar to mine but I got it at 15.88% fixed and the dealer added R5000 thgh not R30 000. I'm happy but I think I shud have pushed the limit a Lil bit back...learning how to negotiate but I'm happy I learned something and got a better deal than wat they offered although it cud have been better
The mistake you are making is associating the loading of the deal with extras to the Sales man, in most cases these are loaded by the Finance department and many sales guys hate it as it usually leads to loss of deals. Some will go as far as telling the client not to take extras and rather get options once delivery is taken from banks.
It's now 14.35% from the 12.10% I took it out for. It had gone down to about 9.75% when the interest rates were decreased. I felt robbed, it hasn't changed from the sentiment. But, the deal was with skepticism as it was my first time buying. The car was a before-facelift 2014 Hyundai i10. It was a really low-mileage car. It's been good so far, just scarce parts for basic items as it is an older version. My take is that the car was a rather expensive purchase for the car in 2018. The car fell within what I wanted to purchase in line with my needs too. 😶🌫
I thought I wanted to buy a local car next year but I think I’ll pass! All these information your are sharing is vital but overwhelming at the same time! At this point, import cars seem to be worth it. A 100k personal loan can get one a car with out any added cost in Lesotho. Collect it from the dealership, service it and you are good to go! Also, some dealerships allow monthly payment plans without any interest.
@@retsepilejudithmolao9822, hi Retsepile. Yes they are or rather, they do. But you can look into insurance back home, it will cover you in other countries as well.
Hey Muzi great content my brother asking for your opinion is it a good idea to buy a car cash and what are the insurance implications when you bought your car cash Asking because Im in a contract employment and not sure if it can lead to permanent
I bought a new Baleno GLX last year with an interest rate of prime +1%. I really had my eye on a 2020 Mazda 3 but thankfully my head was more convincing than my heart.
The issue of interest rates also depends on who you bank with. I am 22 years old, I just only started working and I have no credit history, yet Investec (of which I bank with) is willing to give me prime less a half, I haven't even yet negotiated.
@3:14 I was also denied by ABSA Haval GT because I had missed few payments on my home loan from 2016. I finished and closed off that loan yet somehow those missed payments still lingers many moons later.
Muzi, thank you. They nearly catch, if it wasn't that I requested the contract from the bank bese ngidliwe. I was shocked that they added extras costed up to R38 000 without my knowledge. I'm not sure about the interest rate but I was given a link rate of 11.75% and fixed rate of 14.18% to choose from. I chose the fixed. I'm not sure if I must go on with this deal because I don't like to work with an untrusted person
So I bought a cherry tiggo 7 distinction 2022 model a demo with 4000 km on the clock. A couple of months ago. So before buying the car I negotiated the rates at banks and also requested by my own bank a lower rate seing that I am a long time client. So Initially the rat e was 16 percent but it came down by my own bank 12.5 %. I also phoned around insurance seeing what the retail rate of the car was so the retail Value was still estimated at R420000. And I bought the car at R370000. I sold my old car privately and got a good Deposit on the car As trade ins they wanted to give me to little. I am paying R51000 for my car now per month. Without insurance.
Hi Muzi there’s also this option of returning the car back to the dealership urself to avoid legal costs if you cannot afford to pay for it anymore…please make a video on that
Can you please do a visit on what happens when a car is written off and claiming from insurance. Do you loose the initial deposit you paid on the car or what?
Hi Quinton, not an expert like Muzi, but I used a stokvel to pay up the car in 36 months. I think having a stokvel comes with more discipline as opposed to making extra payments. Extra payments are voluntary, so it’s easy to skip payments.
I bought a used ford Fiesta in Sept 2021 for R167k with interest rate linked of 9, because of your channel i have paid off the car in 1 year and 8 months. I'm with my choice and don't see myself buying a brand new car in my life.

My take is that the car was a rather expensive purchase for the car in 2018. The car fell within what I wanted to purchase in line with my needs too. 😶🌫
Bru you are saving those who are listening here thank you very much are when i require advise for you what must i do ?
I bought VW Polo Vivo in 2020 at a fixed rate of 9%, my first car or loan.
That Ford Laser is Hella fresh....
5.1k views in 1 hour, is proof that we're being starved content by MJ. I'd like to lay a complaint. 😂
I thought I wanted to buy a local car next year but I think I’ll pass! All these information your are sharing is vital but overwhelming at the same time! At this point, import cars seem to be worth it. A 100k personal loan can get one a car with out any added cost in Lesotho. Collect it from the dealership, service it and you are good to go! Also, some dealerships allow monthly payment plans without any interest.
Hi Pulane . Retsepile from Lesotho here , are our import cars allowed to drive this side without insurance?
@@retsepilejudithmolao9822, hi Retsepile. Yes they are or rather, they do. But you can look into insurance back home, it will cover you in other countries as well.
Hey Muzi great content my brother asking for your opinion is it a good idea to buy a car cash and what are the insurance implications when you bought your car cash
Asking because Im in a contract employment and not sure if it can lead to permanent
I bought a new Baleno GLX last year with an interest rate of prime +1%. I really had my eye on a 2020 Mazda 3 but thankfully my head was more convincing than my heart.
Good choice!
Seeing that M2 in the video, it looks so good yazi 👀
Rear and side profile👌🏽...but the front-end🤗
@@MuziSambo eish, i feel ya 😆
The issue of interest rates also depends on who you bank with. I am 22 years old, I just only started working and I have no credit history, yet Investec (of which I bank with) is willing to give me prime less a half, I haven't even yet negotiated.
Awesome
the new c-class is sick!!!!!!!!!! yeses
You had to include that brasi stand picture bro🤣🤣
@3:14 I was also denied by ABSA Haval GT because I had missed few payments on my home loan from 2016. I finished and closed off that loan yet somehow those missed payments still lingers many moons later.
Your anger in this video 😢😂😂😂, I felt it
😁💁♂️Akere you guys are disappointing me. I'm always preaching the same thing everyday, but you don’t listen😆😊🤗
@@MuziSambo 😂😂😂
The i30 n tho. 🔥🔥
22.5% two cars on a credit card, still living to tell the tale to this day.
Muzi, thank you. They nearly catch, if it wasn't that I requested the contract from the bank bese ngidliwe. I was shocked that they added extras costed up to R38 000 without my knowledge. I'm not sure about the interest rate but I was given a link rate of 11.75% and fixed rate of 14.18% to choose from. I chose the fixed. I'm not sure if I must go on with this deal because I don't like to work with an untrusted person
Maybe check another dealer, this one shows red flags
I wish I saw your videos last week damn, I got a linked rate of 15.15% and whole lot of BS extra
financed my first car this year being an i20 fluid at prime plus 0.3. i had to negotiate that as well cos it was originally plus 2.
Dr Sambo, how do you do a financial stress test?
So I bought a cherry tiggo 7 distinction 2022 model a demo with 4000 km on the clock. A couple of months ago. So before buying the car I negotiated the rates at banks and also requested by my own bank a lower rate seing that I am a long time client. So Initially the rat e was 16 percent but it came down by my own bank 12.5 %. I also phoned around insurance seeing what the retail rate of the car was so the retail Value was still estimated at R420000. And I bought the car at R370000. I sold my old car privately and got a good Deposit on the car As trade ins they wanted to give me to little.
I am paying R51000 for my car now per month. Without insurance.
Hi Muzi there’s also this option of returning the car back to the dealership urself to avoid legal costs if you cannot afford to pay for it anymore…please make a video on that
Here: th-cam.com/video/niFq-UJZguU/w-d-xo.html
Can you please do a visit on what happens when a car is written off and claiming from insurance. Do you loose the initial deposit you paid on the car or what?
Can you do a video on admin fees and licensing? Muzi
I’m interested in a car that’s not really popular, the fiat 500X. Would it be wise to buy a demo?
I was offered a 14.5% fixed rate last month for a 2015 BMW 435i with less than 100 000 kilos.
Muzi taking shots at the i30N and Yaris GR 😂😂😂
If you listen to petrol heads you will end up in a wheelchair 😅😅😅😅😅
😂😂😂😂 your content is top tier bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥wtf
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i love this man he is awesome even the indian voice was funny
6:10 Muzi, what are the strategies you use to paying-off a car within a year and what are the advantages?
Hi Quinton, not an expert like Muzi, but I used a stokvel to pay up the car in 36 months. I think having a stokvel comes with more discipline as opposed to making extra payments. Extra payments are voluntary, so it’s easy to skip payments.
What are the other disadvantages of fixed interest rate?
I got prime + 0.25% when I bought my Polo GTI in 2019. So currently sitting on 12%.
Make a video on cars that are cheap but high in maintenance
And cheap, high-risk cars with expensive insurance
Datsun Go, nobody talks about it but hey😂😂
I’m sitting on 9.25% linked for my vivo comfortline
The last statement...😂😂
I bought a used ford Fiesta in Sept 2021 for R167k with interest rate linked of 9, because of your channel i have paid off the car in 1 year and 8 months. I'm with my choice and don't see myself buying a brand new car in my life.
Well done👏🏽I'm so glad the content helped you make a sensible financial decision.
How's the maintenance cost of it , affordable or expensive?
