Ultra Speed Car Sales
After deciding to get rid of my faithful six year old gas guzzling four-wheel drive in favor of a more economical daily runner, my wife and I set out to spend two days running from the Southern suburbs to the far northern suburbs of Cape Town in search of that perfect car.
I never knew so many used car dealers existed and how willing they were to “do a deal”. Having almost given up on finding the perfect car, we were driving through Voortrekker Road, Maitland and set to hit the freeway back home when, out of the corner of my... read full review »

Hyundai Cresta
I bought a car last week for cash from Hyundai Cresta and was specifically told that the car had never been in an accident. I paid cash for the car, and the next day, when the car was being inspected for insurance purposes we discovered the body filler and I was told that the car had definitely been in an accident. My partner took the car back immediately, and they agreed to return the money. I was however disgusted by the attitude of the Used Vehicle Manager, P Robertson, who had obviously willingly lied to em about the status of the car.
How many other car buyers, especially women, are they doing this to, I wonder? read full review »
