Speed out year in new wheels

FEATURES TOP-SELLING MAKES AND MODELS FROM REPUTABLE FINANCE HOUSES Register now to buy a reasonably priced, relatively late-model car.

Buyers are still exercising caution when it comes to big purchases, like vehicles.

Park Village Auctions (PVA) will host its final car auction of the year and expects the sale to be one for the record books.

PVA’s director and head auctioneer Clive Lazarus says affordability and reliability are the names of the game.

“While new and used vehicle sales are improving, buyers are still exercising caution when it comes to big purchases, like vehicles.

“Prudent buyers know yearend sales represent the perfect time to pick up reasonably priced, relatively late-model cars.”

PVA’s national webcast vehicle auctions regularly feature South Africa’s top-selling makes and models.

The assets stem from Standard Bank, BMW Financial Services, Absa Bank, liquidators, and other reputable finance houses.

Lazarus is confident the sale will draw a large crowd.

“All the favourites will be there, from Toyota Hilux and Ford Rangers to Volkswagen Polo Vivos and Golfs, and Toyota Corollas. Other brands that consistently perform well are Suzuki, Hyundai, Nissan, Renault and Kia,” he says.

It is no coincidence that the top performers are normally among South Africa’s most fuel-efficient vehicles.

Savvy auction attendees often seek out economic cars such as the Renault Duster (consumption listed at 4.8l/100km), the Ford EcoSport (4.6l/100km) and

the Volkswagen Polo Vivo hatch (4.6l/100km).

Viewing will be open on Friday, 9 December, from 9am to 4pm at the following locations:

221 Main Road, Martindale,

Johannesburg;

Quarry Place, off Queen Nandi Drive, River Horse Estate, Durban;

Cnr R64 and Valentia Road, Waterbron, Bloemfontein
