Dear Member, |
Buyers move to used car market
Recent
forecasts for the South African new car market predict very
little growth as motorists levitate towards the used-car
market, which is good news for our dealers. |
According to Charles Grassie, Managing Director at Surf4Cars,
buyers are looking for affordable cars in the entry-level
price bands.
Almost two-thirds of all used-car searches
performed on Surf4Cars were for vehicles in the price range
R150 000 - R200 000.
This is an indication that
buyers who have a reasonable budget for a car are looking
for better value in the pre-owned market and are less likely
to look for a new car.
This is, of course, good
news for our members and we hope that you too will be able
to benefit from this trend in the market!

As always, we
aim to keep our members informed and to this end have sent
various communiques about this issue in the past few months.
As we are fast approaching the deadline, we bring you the
most recent FAIS update again, which you can

We also
had a successful MIBCO meeting on the East Rand recently
and will keep you up to date on any new developments.
All the best,
