It’s really important to test drive on your own and also turn on/off any switches, features, etc. I also learnt this the hard way before. Also, for finance, always get a quote from your bank too and compare it to the dealership. I made the worst mistake of taking a balloon payment 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

@@khutsomarule you can usually tell the consultant the dealer name and the vehicle and price (can’t remember what else), some financiers like MFC have an online system to do this where you just fill in the details on a form and they let you know later in the day or the next day. If you have a private banker, just ask them to do it instead

The problem with being a first time car buyer is that as soon as they tell you your application has been approved, you can’t believe it, the excitement is overwhelming and you feel like it’s a miracle. You are not going to even negotiate or ask questions, just now they perhaps rescind the offer😅. All you are thinking about is driving off in your new car. The sales guys live for that moment, and man they’ll show you flames! 😄

Look I appreciate your review, and the reminder that you have given To us about the covers that the salesman put. When you started your video I was not happy because I was expecting to hear the figures like others do Ex @Musi Sambo. I wanted to know the prime, interest rate and your installment. But it was awesome man...

A deposit helps lower the installments, sometimes banks require a deposit especially on much older cars that maybe be priced out of the market. The deposit needs to be huge for it to make a difference in your monthly instalment
