Reviews from real people

“We had great service on buying a vehicle from your Centurion branch. Our sales assistant, Johnathan Appleby, was very friendly, and service delivery was quick and helpful! I would recommend his service to other potential buyers”. Chantelle
“REALLY surprised about the service I got from Corne and Prian. I am a picky buyer and had them running around to make sure the car we’re interested in is in good condition. Everything I requested was checked, and fixes like new tyres could be negotiated. They really went all out to get things right. What a pleasant surprise! I highly recommend them! THANK YOU, Corne and Prian. Will see you sometime again”. Karel
How monthly instalments are calculated
To ensure you make an informed decision, it is essential to understand the variables that determine your monthly payment. We want you to be the expert in your own finance journey.
| Factor | Description | Impact on R2,000 p/m Target |
| Loan Term | The duration (e.g., 60 or 72 months) of your repayment. | Longer Terms mean lower monthly payments but increase the total interest paid over the life of the loan. |
| Interest Rate (APR) | The annual percentage rate charged by the lender. | A Lower Rate is critical for achieving a low instalment. Your credit score and the prime rate determine rates. |
| Deposit | The cash amount you pay upfront. | A Higher Deposit reduces the principal loan amount, instantly lowering your monthly instalment and saving you money on interest. |
| Balloon Payment | A large, single payment is due at the end of the loan term. | Choosing a balloon payment can significantly lower your monthly payment, but you must plan for the large lump sum at the end. |
As of early 2025, the South African Prime Lending Rate is around 11.75%. Interest rates offered on used cars are generally slightly higher, typically ranging between 10% and 20%, depending mainly on your credit profile and the vehicle’s age. A good credit score is your most powerful tool for securing a lower rate.
