Used to work at a used car dealership and something I'd advise people to do is bring along a mechanic or someone who has experience with cars. Take the car for a test drive Atleast twice before buying it. Most of the cars we sold were just "fixed" to the point of you being able to drive for a few days. I remember some guy bought an X5 for 180k and a week later the gearbox had issues, the dealership knew about it but kept quiet
@@loyisodzingwa4833 Yeah honestly the price was a giveaway. He thought he was getting a pretty good deal cause it was a 2013 model with no accident history at other dealers its about R250k+
I bought a ford focus at NTT Toyota (One in my channel) in December 2021, same day lights were not working, oil leak, they came and fetch it, fixed it then later the check engine light came on, they fixed it again then again it came back twice, i took the car back and walk away from the deal and paid nothing
I wish this video was uploaded before I bought my VW Polo Vivo Maxx 1.6 2014, yeyi i regret buying that car, cause it was involved in a accident and the dealership lied on my face n said the car had a slight injury at the back, while accident was in the front noticing it a weeks later after i bought the car. GREAT ADVICE TO THOSE WHO STILL GOING TO BUY A CAR. BLESSED
Dr Sambo, can you please make a video on your thoughts about buying Mercedes and or BMW cars for agility deal and also could you please make us a review on jaguar f pace latest model 🙏
This is very informative. I remember buying my first car (secondhand) at those dodgy dealerships and had engine light issue 2 days after buying it. Took the car back to the dealership and the owner told me to just ignore the engine light and keep driving the car as is. Before buying the car I was being treated nice and after buying the cars the entire dealership became hostile. DO NOT BUY CARS AT UNCERTIFIED DEALERSHIPS!!
Great video as always🔥, my 2 cents on the mileage thing is that. If a car has a high mileage but with full service history, I will take it because it is proven to be reliable as all the parts have been serviced and the ones that needs replacing has been replaced... always go for full service history if you can.
Meanwhile my daily 2006 Ford Focus is sitting at 430 000km with zero issues, bought @180 000 kms except changing clutch kit and normal 10 000 kms service interval.
I also bought my 2014 Golf Gti DSG in 2016, 95000Km, full service history, till today, I am still driving without issues, now is on 200 000Km on the clock,and trade value is +/-R216 000.
When it comes to bumper gaps and incorrect bumper alignment, that does not necessarily mean the car was in an accident. 90% of all second hand cars for sale, will sooner or later have their front bumper removed at some point of time to have it resprayed due to stone chips. When putting the bumper back on, this is when workshops fit the bumper incorrectly and that's why bumper gaps and alignment is not how they're supposed to be. Good content though! Loving every video.
In 2018, I bought a 2-year old Audi A3 from McCarthy Audi Wonderboom. They never mentioned that it was involved in an accident. I only started hearing noise weeks later from the wheel bearing area. Had to trade it in since they couldn't fix it.
Love your content Sambo. Please do content about what to do after being involved in an accident. And how one can loose their car from those towing companies through storage if they are not careful!
I really appreciate your help my guy you are a king, you always on point and you give us what we need to know especially when you want to buy a car you get confused a lot you just want to see yourself driving your own car
Good advice. I once bought an Opel Astra in 2004. It was sold to me as a demo at a GM dealership. A few months into owning the car, it would just stop and would not start. Each time I took it in they were fixing something. I travelled from Pta to Jhb for work daily. One day I got stuck in Jhb the car had to be towed in to the nearest dealer in Randburg. When I went to fetch it they said it was a gearbox, I got mad and asked them why would a car as good as new have gearbox issues I told them it's not the first time I got stuck with the car yet I bought it a few months ago. Then I took the service book and looked at it, to my surprise the car was not a demo it was used by Hertz Car Rentals before. From that info I wasted no time I shopped for another car and traded in the troublesome one. I had the car for 14yrs, it was a 1yr old model with under 10k mileage. It was over 200k when I sold it and the owner is still driving the car till today.
People go to we buy cars because they can't afford cars from a dealership. Dealerships are just overpriced, and dealerships aren't free from defects. You could get a dud or a gem at a bargain at we buy cars, it depends. Test driving the car for mechanical problem with your mechanic is a must. Great content nontheless
Great stuff Dr Sambo, people really need to educate themselves and do proper research before buying a car. And first time buyers must not get carried away with excitement, a wound teaches a fool isn't always the best way to learn, learn from other's mistakes too.
I bought a fiesta at 3000km in 2017. The only time I found out it was in an accident was when I sold it now in 2022 and everyone brought up what you did. The work done on the service book could have also told me a lot but I never knew what anything meant till I sold it. Now I am just turned off by second hand cars, more so because I know the condition my car was in when I sold it
Nice one Dr. Muzi, to add please don’t go to smaller nyana dealerships like most in joburg unless experienced. They mostly fix accident cars, resell them and lie about it, too much trickery there.
My car does have a few small minor gaps, but it has never been in a accident, plus I bought my car with 98k on the clock with 2 service histories recorded and I have no issues. it's really difficult to tell, which cars are going to be problematic. A friend of mine bought the exact same model polo 6 R 2010 at Mastercars and after a year, has countless issues (engine issues).
Very helpful . I wish I could go with you when I go look for second hand car at we buy cars. I’ve been looking online but would like to go there physically
Hey man, would you mind if I sought your advice when I decide to buy my first car? 😁 I've been a Suby and your channel recruiter for a long while now - u can't charge mea free😌
This is very informative. But with production cars it's sometimes difficult to tell if those gaps are from production or from an accident repair. Millage lately doesn't matter coz people are now reversing the millage with those obd scan tools. My 2 cent in buying a second-hand car is just pray that you not buying a lemon. All car brands are the same it just depends on the vehicle you driving. Just because your Jeep is faulty doesn't mean mine will have the same issue.
Thanks bro ... I want to buy a car ... Used BMW 320i it's dream car at the end of August... I am your new subscriber thanks for the information.... LV your channel

Well if you're going to buy an x5 for 180k something has to be wrong with it. Thanks for the advice though mate.

That's crazy... an X5 for R180k? Lol he should have seen it coming

I wish I saw the same advice before buying my VW Golf 6 2009
Literally needed 100, 000 to fix it

I always say the same thing. You better do research before choosing a dealership.
Thanks you
What a stupid thing to tell someone.."just ignore"

you have a point there, the car will be good as new. all issues eliminated one by one.

We’re looking at getting a 2nd car for the family and this video came just in time. Looking forward to a part 2 Dr Sambo 👩🏾💻
Like how your videos are informative and short... I'm not into cars but I found myself binge watching your videos ☺️😂☺️. Siyabonga

Much appreciated Dr!!!

That Comparison between a VW Golf GTI vs a Toyota Hilux is spot-on! You're really good Bro!
I bought 2014 Golf 7 Gti DSG 95 000km, i am still driving it today without any issues, I think its depends from the previous oowner as well.
@@andilasnetworksandtechnolo3542 How many kilometers does the car have now. I hope you atleast do DSG oil service as required.
@@andilasnetworksandtechnolo354295 is still fine compared to 130
Informative video, thank you. ⭐

Dealerships always give excuse after the deal or run away from the problem by ignoring you. Lucky to get assisted after the deal from the problems...
Great and informative content, keep up the good work bhutomdala
