Maybe you finished school and you have landed your dream job, or that set of twins was a surprise you hadn’t planned for. Whatever it is, we are here to help you keep up with the needs your life demands.

Whatever your need is, whether a family car, a bakkie, a hatchback, or a 4×4 – you can take advantage of our R50,000* deal assistance. This means when you choose to buy a quality second hand vehicle from Auto Pedigree, you get up to R50,000 to use towards the purchase.

A vehicle for every stage of life

As an adult living in South Africa, you rely on a car to get you wherever you need to go. The type of vehicle you drive is often a reflection of the stage you’re at in life. For example, you rarely see a person in their early 20s riding a luxury vehicle. Similarly, it is rare to see an elderly person in an older model car, as seniors typically have the disposable income to buy or lease a newer car for themselves. If you are in the market for a quality low kilometre used car, there are some vehicles

that are better suited to your lifestyle than others. The below examples are typical cars in different life stages.

1. Teenagers, Students and Lower Income Earner

Students or first-time drivers typically get their first car as soon as they can legally drive. A reliable and relatively inexpensive vehicle. It will not be their ‘dream car’, but the idea is to get around and make some memories. A small hatchback is a popular choice, it typically has room for passengers, as well as some car-sharing or road trips with friends! In addition to their convenience and economy, these cars are among the safest on the road, making them ideal for new drivers. These value for money hatch backs include Kia Picanto, Suzuki Swift or the Hyundai i10.

Moving into the job market, students need to upgrade or buy a car. Options may be limited due to income levels, but there are lots of affordable vehicle options that can reflect your style while remaining fuel-efficient and practical for this lifestyle. At this point in life, consider something like a VW Golf, Toyota Yaris or Nissan Micra. Cross-over’s like the Renault Kwid are popular as well, due to their ground clearance and practical nature.

2. Single, Married or People with a Family, Comfortable Living

In your thirties you are established in your career and make a comfortable living. You have clear interests and know what you like. An upgrade in vehicle size, comfort and style will likely be high on your list of priorities, as your weekend may start to fill up with larger social gatherings such as weddings, birthdays and weekend trips with friends and/or family. A well-rounded SUV like a Toyota Urban Cruiser / Rav4, or a VW Tiguan / T-Roc can be the perfect option at this stage in life. Bakkies including Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger and Isuzu D-Max will assist with daily task and provide a vehicle perfect for weekend hobbies.

After starting a family, you will probably find that the car you used to drive around in when you were in your 20s and 30s just isn’t cutting it anymore. With children and their car seats especially, it is always best to have plenty of space in a car. This makes it a lot easier to get around with a car full of passengers, and larger vehicles for these purposes typically have enhanced safety features. You can’t go wrong with a quality SUV or mini-van at this stage in life, such as the Toyota Fortuner, VW Kombi or Hyundai H1.

3. Senior Drivers

Since this will be one of the last cars you buy, don’t be afraid to spend a little more to get exactly what you want in a vehicle. Just because you are driving less, doesn’t mean driving has to be less fun! Some great, fuel-efficient cars that have some luxury and performance to offer include the Mercedes C180 and the BMW 320i.

With the insight into the type of vehicle that is ideal for your station in life. The time is now to drive the car that suits your needs, from morning school runs to that holiday you have always dreamed of.
