Hahaha. Nicolette, I'm a teacher and same age as you. You are spot on. I drive a sensible mini suv precisely because of the roads, it is fuel efficient and dealerships are all over the province. No one will get you into debt like car dealership salespeople and estate agents. Keep on educating our youth. You are doing an amazing job. 💯

Being a CA doesn't mean you must drive a big car one day at my work place one of our clients who is a CA said exactly that he was driving Suzuki Swift hes the importance of the car is to take you from point A to point B not a status as you save your money for the most important things both him and his wife they professionals CA and the wife is a Medical doctor I was inspired thanks for this video because I was about to make a big mistake to buy the the car because ladies does not take serious a man who doesn't have a car and I'm losing my beautiful girlfriend because I don't have a car but after this video I will let her go and stay in peace.

I've made some financial mistakes but listen I'm so determined to learn from them. I've been running away from financial knowledge (anxiety & insecurities about the bad decisions I made) I watched your episode from Yolz and you mentioned that you made bad financial decisions but you overcame them and you are where you are today because of them. That gave me courage to face my finances, so I'll be camping on your channel. Thank you so much for sharing this wisdom for free. I declare that I will have a healthy relationship with my finances amen.

I just think this video was made for me. I've been planning on buying a car but I don't think I'm financially ready for it or if I even need it. The pressure is coming from my family, my partner (he says it brings some sort of standard or isdima) and friends. I have a nice paying job, I'm 25, I'm renting and got 2 kids. Well I would afford it but it does not make sense for me to own a car before having a house. I work from home, my 1 child has transport to school and the other has a nanny. When I want to go out I request an uber. So thank you so much for this eye opening lesson. I try so hard to be money smart

Please watch Atlehang Govuzas channel on if you should buy a car all the reasons not to buy one are there and that video will help you 🤞

The day I subscribed to your channel back in 2019 was one of the best decisions I made, I managed to get out of debt, have a great emergency fund, life policy and working on my retirement annuity. Now the focus is on getting a car. Your videos go a long way and of great value keep up the good work.

We are blessed to have Nicolette Thank you for this video such an eye opener ❤️❤️❤️🙌

This is such an eye opener. Thank you ❤️

omg i love her😂❤ about to buy my first car and this was the first video i watched. Thanks girl for the advice🙏🏾💕💕 u had me smiling the whole video😂 such an amazing personality🫶🏾🫶🏾

My sista, thank you for talking to me. There are so many factors to consider and thank you for making it a point not to take the first deal that comes your way. I will shop wisely now....

I agree with you.There is a friend of mine who bought a bigger car out of pressure from his baby mama.He obviously didn`t afford the car.He traded in his paid up polo.He also had to borrow some money(loan) to pay for the deposit.

When I bought my 3rd used car, I spoke to Wesbank for finance and they pre approved everything. So I went to pick up the car they finance department added extended warranty, smash and grab, paint protection and other additional extras that ended up adding around R30k. As a Mechanic I knew most these extras were already paid for by the previous owner and as I was walking away from the deal the salesman removed all extras and still tried to convince me to take extended warranty just to be safe incase something happens. I told the guy if something happens, which I still refused as for at least for a certain period they must honor what happens to the car provided its not damage from my side. And besides that taking the warranty was gonna force me to service at dealerships which I don't like cause this side they hardly know what they doing.

Loved this video especially when you say don’t buy for your ego 👏🏾👏🏾

A sister I wish I had❤ thank you for the lesson and the information😍

I found this channel at the right time. 😂😂 I love her. This is so informative ❤

I think financing a car as a young or first driver is okay here’s where people go wrong…. Let’s say someone makes 25,000 a year and there car is £60,000 yes monthly they could make payments but it’s unaffordable and high in monthly payments…… I think if you finance get a car that’s cheaper than your yearly salary for example on a £25,000 salary you’d want to look at a reasonable used car that’s let’s say £13,000 it’s going to be affordable some people get something that’s toooo expensive and these expensive cars cost allot to repair compare to cheaper brands like a car that’s £13,000

I needed this sis thank you

Taking notes✍ Thank you my financial gobela 🤗

Thank you for sharing this important information Nicollete. I’m still shopping around for my first car and another important factor that first time buyers don’t take into account is the Linked and Fixed Interest rate. For those who are not aware 1. A fixed interest rate does not change for the duration of your payment period and therefore gives the security of a fixed monthly instalment and 2. A linked interest rate is linked to the prime lending rate so when it increases so does your monthly instalment. But… the Fixed rate usually has a slightly higher monthly repayment than a Linked one.

I'm sure all most of us made that mistake when they bought their first car. I always laugh at my statement and be like wow , how did I end up going for 72months (that's paying more interest) but I was smart enough to pay it quicker , and all the accessories that I didn't need ? Bhod kesana! Thanks Coco once again for exporting all that financial knowledge and lessons learnt coz tis the season where people will be pressured in to getting into all these dodgy deals coz salesmen want to push their targets. Know your credit score and and don't be swayed into buying for more than you had budgeted for. The prime lending rate keeps nyisaring us this side

What is a normal period for buying a car? Over the years cars have become expensive and in order to be affordable a longer payment period was adopted and of course residual (lease transactions) were introduced to individual buyers.

Mommy please explain the fixed instalment and variable instalment. The pros and cons between the two. Which one is preferable to a person living off a budget.

@khangelwakhathi508

4 ай бұрын

The fixed installment or fixed interest rate stays the same throughout your contract period. Although it is more expensive compared to the other option. However if you choose variable interest or installment it will be less expensive at first but it changes all the time when the interest rate changes. So if interest rates increases the your installment also increases and that can be over your budget after it has increased twice. I have a friend who had to consolidate her debts because she had variable interest rate and she didn't know. Then within a year her installment had increased from R4500 to R6000 within 12 months because of increased interest rate. So be very careful with choosing interest. Variable interest is also called linked interest rate!

Does financing contribute to your credit score when you pay on time?

Is it good to pay a running cost of car insurance on an old immaculate looking car? I ask this question cause insurance companies can sometimes do one dirty in a case of an accident where a car probably damage only a fender and not fix it for you but write it off for their selfish personal gain fixing it for themself to resell while they paid you less based on a market value of that good looking old car😏

You can refuse them writing off the car. I did with Outsurance. Instead they gave me cash to fix the car.

Me: I can't have a Masters and not drive an SUV Nic:Also don't buy a car for your ego andaphoxeka but then again when u mentioned that you bought yiur car for safety I'm in the same boat coz i got into an accident driving my dads Avanza and apart from God of course the main reason I didn't die was because it was a big car coz it got written off... Im still scared to drive but I need to as we don't have uber in my hometown so I'd never be comfortable driving a small car so an SUV it is... Just the costs that freak me out but I have faith that God will work it out lol I'm tired of overthinking

@thokozaniletoaba3482

Only benefit is that they won't repossess. But interest rate is almost double or more.. if you can afford the payment with the personal loan interest then you can just take the normal vehicle finance but pay the same amount you would have paid for the personal loan. I think thay should decrease your loan term so you'll pay it off quicker

Brand loyalty in this economy is STUPID
