Seller’s Market

The Toyota Pardo, the Nissan Patrol and the Ford Laser are just a few of the vehicles I never knew existed until I came to South Africa. Another interesting discovery is that you’d think in a country that has such poverty you could get a good deal on a car. Well, you’d be completely wrong. Vehicles here are about two times more expensive than they are in America. One of the staff here bought a 1998 RAV 4 for the bargain price of $15,000, and that’s after he talked them down.
Other great deals from the Auto Trader here in South Africa.
1994 Toyota Land Cruiser - $30,000
1999 Jeep Wrangler - $29,000
1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport - $21,000
1996 Honda Prelude - $17,000
1992 Toyota Corolla - $4,350
