This is bound to be controversial. I have decided to raise this as a topic, as it really concerns me to see how much money is wasted on accessories.
So, you think your car looks cool with a lowered suspension, tinted windows, mag wheels, a boot fin, racing pedals, an amp and speakers powerful enough to cause an earthquake, tweeters, skirts, air dams, one of those chromed after market filters under the bonnet and a fake metal petrol cap. All that stuff would have cost you several thousands of Rands . You have also substantially devalued your pride and joy by approximately double that which you have spent.
So you think I'm kidding? Well, I'm not.

What exactly is an AA report and who owns the company?
Everyone knows what an AA report is, but how does an AA report fit into buying a used car? Firstly, let me explain that the AA is a non-profit organization, who do not have any shareholders. I will get back to AA reports in a moment. First we need to understand some legalities.
There are three basic ways to buy a car.
- Cash as its stands with no warranty and no roadworthy certificate. This is usually restricted to the lower end of the price spectrum and cars bought at auctions.
- Cash with a roadworthy certificate.
- Financed with RWC and a limited warranty or an after market extended warranty.
