Buyers to consider the following crucial matters when buying a vehicle irrespective of speaker colour: - Accident damage - clock turned back -no warranty - all higher mileage vehicles *oil flush needed *Oil refill *Transmission flush and refill *Power steering pump flush and refill *Engine compression *burnt valves *shock absorber replacements *front wishbone replacements and maybe other suspension parts and bushes *brake disc replacements *brake rotor replacements *PCV valve replacements *replace all rubber and plastic hoses *interior trim repairs *seats* aircon switches*radios*other "luxury components*torn material*cracked windscreens *faded headlights, possibly cracked *Re-gas air conditioner *Repair all oil and coolant leaks *GDI engines - decarbonise intake manifold *Check and repair manual transmission linkages * CATS probably shot due to bad / inconsistent maintenance * replace plugs, possible related components and check fuel pressure *probably new fuel filter *new cabin filter *repair rust and repaint * remove lowered suspensions, performance chips, and reset ECU *new underbelly pans *mags will require significant work to remove curb rash *probably tyres *Check and test all VVTI / I VTEC or similar gears / operations *Can not finance cost/ purchase price *unlikely to obtain any warranty or service plan - never touch a vehicle without a complete dealer maintenance record! *Check clutch and replace *Alternator output must be checked *Test battery and replace as needed *remove new "high-output" illegal headlight bulbs * spare tyre condition? *Check from and rear diff, drain and refill *check and probably replace driveshafts *do not touch vehicles with air suspension! *Check for air leaks on engine (perform smoke test) * check for leaking sun roof * test speakers and audio system *air filter replacement *oil filter replacement *check for white smoke on cold start - transmission oil burning *get info on previous head or bottom rebuilds done * turbo replace or rebuild *brake booster replacement *Check for covered rust on belly pan of vehicle and frame *check for badly aligned panel gaps and colour differences GET CONTACT INFO FROM PREVIOUS OWNER AND HAVE HONEST DISCUSSION! Some others but this is a good sample of checks to be performed before getting in for a test drive!!! Fixing only some or part thereof or all of this can cost you many times the selling price of the vehicle. Always bring along a competent and experienced mechanic (with his toolbox and testers) if you are interested in a particular vehicle and arrange for lift hoist to be available! Use it or lose it - information built up over decades of car restorations and maintenance. Also recommended to stay away from 3 cylinder turbo's and very small capacity turbo engines irrespective of fuel consumption stats if longevity is your aim

Thank you for this❤️

I used to work at that exact branch, the Brackenfell branch. To us, youre just a number and we DO not care what problems you have after we sold you the car. Not because we were evil salesmen, but the management and higher ups only care about how much you sell. They honestly couldn't care less if you have problems. All this being said, i would still buy a car there, as there are some good deals to be had. The other dealerships would come here early in the morning with a list and buy a few cars, drive it to their floor and put up 20-30k. Youre getting the same car there for more money.

Wow🙏🏽, do you remember the dekra rating it was in?

It is like this at all used car dealers. 90% don't even provide a Dekra report. Make sure that you read and understand the report. If you have no knowledge of cars, ensure to be accompanied by a knowledgeable person and don't buy with your heart. The green Dekra vehicles are sold at reduced prices as to enable you to get them in a roadworthy condition. Do your calculations carefully.

Got a colleague who bought a car from them and its still ok. Thanks ke ngosazisa

I have bought 4 cars from them in which 3 of them were green dekra stickered, never had any major issues as I went and checked the vehicles before buying them so I knew exactly what I was buying and I'm still daily driving one of the cars 3 years later with no issues, all I'm saying is if you know nothing about cars and have no mechanical knowledge stay far away from gold and green. Otherwise you can really get a good deal if you know what you are doing at Webuycars. Also don't listen to the sales guys there they don't know the cars and only want to sell them.

@paulf1157 I agree with you, WBC is basically a company that found a loophole for selling cars "as is" or "voetstoots" that's also why their cars are so cheap. But still they do have allot of cars that are gems.

WBC does not disclose everything about the car. Recently they sold a Swift Sport where they KNEW the engine and gearbox had dropped by 50mm and this was not disclosed. Actually had to cancel 3 sales because of this. Many dealers are complaining that even Platinum Dekra reports are not disclosing all.

Educational content about automotive motor vehicle shopping.

You just got to know a bit about cars, and the fact that buying a second hand car is not buying a brand new car expect risk and be willing to spend on that risk.

Bought two vehicles from We Buy Cars after proper inspection both green coded, driving both for almost three years now and no issues. I think the problem is the buyer and not the seller as people don't know cars so they end up buying without proper inspection. The average buyer is not up to date with the mechanical side of vehicles and end up buying a vehicle without proper knowledge of such vehicles. I am currently planning buying my third vehicle from "We Buy Cars" .

@@PheloMngCars WeBuyCars sells cars as they are, if it comes in sick, it will leave sick. Basically, they are like a commercial auction house. When they buy a car, they will not do anything to it except wash it. Wena you saw a cheap price and decided to save short term, manje now long term is is nipping at your heels you want to take legal action. Sorry you are suffering but the problem with us South Africans, when we want something, we want it now and rarely do our due diligence before purchase, we just purchase, especially when its convenient for our pockets, which always leads to us crying at the end. I bought a car with a green dekra report, not from webuycars, i got mine i vaal. before i purchased it, when i entered the dealer ship, i asked them to switch it on and let in run the entire time i was there, we took about 4 hrs to finilize the the deal, and that time the car was run non stop. This for me is a good way to check if a car runs properly when its hot. to cut the long story short, i found that the car had a water pump problem, i still ended up taking it as i purchased a 2 year warranty as well for 12k, the next week, i took the car to VW and they replaced the water pump for me which cost 16k, and my warranty paid for all the costs, that 12k i paid there saved me a lot of money. Im in the market for a new car and im not rushing anything, i deal will come by i know it, just like all my other cars, they are all other cars iv bought. I feel webuycars is not at fault with your issue, they are not scammers, just people who always cry about them are those who rush to buy cheap cars. This video should help a lot, although many more will miss it and they will be stuck in your position. The fact that they say they sell cars in the same condition as they get them makes me more comfortable with them than anyone else although i have never bought anything from them because good quality cars with them are actually quiet expensive there

I think cover the way to fight them…at first if used to look lie they are untouchable but came across 3 cases where people had to take them to court and won

The reality is that when you buy the car from wbc you sign a heap of forms relenquishing away all responsibility on their part for the vehicle after the sale, so the dekra report could be completely false and you have no leg to stand on. It's worthless. That said, like any second hand vehicle purchase the more you know about the vehicle the better for you.

I don't see a problem as long as you pay the right price. . so better know what you're buying. They gave me an excellent price on my bakkie which was in very good condition just high mileage but had put in new shocks replaced turbo and intercooler recently to upgrade for my own pleasure but ran into financial issues during COVID lie

For me it's a yes to buy a car from we buy cars as long as you have an insightful knowledge of cars and their issues the most important is to understand the coding of stickers and their issues but it's a definite yes for me.

Since moveables are sold 'on auction' basis, thus floating the Consumer Protection Act after a transaction is concluded, as opposed to independent dealerships whom have to take responsibility of reasonable breakages for a period of six months; why pay R5- R10K less at WBC than independant dealers for extra peace of mind (at least for six months)?

It's the "awe inspiring" experience of seeing so many cars under one roof and the hustle and bustle of other people all around you looking giving an impression of "for the next ten minutes only we offer......" They used to first park the cars that were just bought above the ground floor up a ramp- these were first offered to the dealers via an online auction and thereafter brought down for sale to the general public if not bought by the dealers. This is why I could not find the most popular sought after second hand cars on the floor with fair mileage.

Bargepole is the first word that comes to mind.

We buy cars doesn’t disclose the R2000 or so that will be charged above the listed price they claimed to be documentation fee. They should have included that on the original listed price, but they will surprise you after you think you have done all the payments. Customers should be made aware of that.
