The Market Has Turned in Buyers’ Favour
South Africa’s used car market has entered an interesting moment. After two years of relentless price hikes driven by inflation and supply chain bottlenecks, we’re now seeing stability in used-vehicle pricing.
Add to that the 50 basis point interest rate cuts in 2025, and the maths starts making sense: financing a car has become far more attractive than draining your savings.
Consumers who once leaned heavily towards cash are rethinking — why lock away liquidity when affordable monthly repayments can free you up to keep your cash for a rainy day?
This shift is reflected in demand: buyers are moving away from expensive new cars and snapping up low-mileage, high-value used stock.
