What would you buy for R150 000

[RuadRauFlessa]

So I pose the question. And your answer would be .....

[GreyWolf]

Good second hand 3 series.
Good second hand A4.
Good second hand Polo.

[Mykhal]

Deposit on a BMW X6!

[hamin_aus]

Brand new Polo Vivo 1.6 with all the extra's.

[wizardofid]

2001 Suzuki Bandit modded with chromed rims and a nice little paint job on the tank and maybe some extras like cd player cellphone car kit GPS....and some nitro's

[KALSTER]

Invest in a franchise shop. If I had to buy something, I'd save thousands of lives by assassinating Bob.

[GreyWolf]

Brand new Polo Vivo 1.6 with all the extra's.

I think that would be closer to 170k. For 150k you can get the 1.4 vivo with all extras.

[DarkStar]

Yamaha XT660Z Ténéré, brand new riding gear and use the rest to go on a bike trip up to Zambia.

Any left over would be put in a savings account.

[Anthro]

The question never stated if it should be a vehicle, a russian bride - or a stack of condoms,I would suggest you take the 150k and invest it.
Unless above mentioned options apply..

You do realize this is the skidmarks section. Unless you want to invest in something with wheels by means of which you want to assassinate Bob with.

[Anthro]

In that case, IMO buy a VW.
Not necessarily a new one. And invest the rest.

Jamin has the right on the Vivo. I won't buy it in any case. It gets a lousy review and it looks like something the cat dragged in while drunk out of it's mind.

I did not know Tribble was into cars!

You would be surprised to know what cats are into

You best be trolling, person of African descent....

That's just weird, a friend of mine went to look at them recently and they quoted her about 150k for the full spec 1.4. anyhoo. I would still get a second hand e46. you can get a 330i for that money. check it:

yeah you can get that second hand car - but two weeks later you will realize you need to spend around R10k to get the brakes sorted then you will probably need to spend R5k to get the aircon regassed and then probably a month later the shocks will give up and a month after that you will need new tyres ....... and as soon as you take delivery of the car - every wheel will probably be buckled and you will need a new set (probably going to cost around R25k for a set of wheels and tyres from BMW if you want the stock OEM stuff) - then the seats are probably tattered and need to be recovered in leather - look at around R8k for this if done aftermarket - around R12k if you want the factory stuff ...... the list will go on - and thats still considering that the engine is sound

ive been down the road of buying second hand cars - to be honest there is no way in hell i would suggest it even to my worst enemies - i would rather get a car lower down on features and functionality and not bother about style as long as the vehicle i get is brand new ..... even though you can get a lemon brand new too but the odds are way lower on that if you do get the new car and generally if its serious the warranty would cover the repair

all the above was considering that the 330i you pointed to was 6 years old - also resale value on Beemers is atrocious - looking at the model you pointed to as an example - by the time you realized it was a lemon and wanted to get rid of it 6 months down the line you would lose R50k instantly

I have also been down the road of second hand cars, and to be honest i have not had issues, and neither have my mates. RX8, Lumina SS, Golf IV GTi, Xtrail, all still running fine, all bought second hand.

This is not the only 330i for sale for that price, so you have your choice of cars, and you don't have to take the one with the tattered seats. And you can test drive it before you buy it.

[naughty]

the thing is buying a second hand car is a choice

just not my choice ..... you on the other hand are free to decide if its what you like to do ...... it's just that ive reached a stage in life that i dont want to take a chance on someone else's trouble .... i have enough of my own

[Anakha56]

I am looking at getting the Hyundai i20...

[RuadRauFlessa]

Hmmm Kay so I just applied and got approved for the Polo Vivo.... 1.4 with all the bells and whistles. Depressing thing is that over the 72 month period I will be paying R116 000 more for the car than the starting price. Ye you guessed it. A R140 000 turns into R256 320. Really depressing.

[Anthro]

Payment per month ?
