Do you guys recall the video I posted last year about Rola Motor City? I described it as the ‘Disney World of dealerships’ because it really is. Eight brands in one convenient location with a 4X4 course to boot. I went to see them last week after my husband sold his car to Rola Volkswagen Malmesbury and had the most incredible experience. I wanted to find out more...
Just the other day a family member was telling me how they have struggled to sell their car because most of the places they have approached have offered them so little for it. When I asked what the market value of the car was, they weren’t sure. This is a common problem among car sellers. It can be difficult to determine the market value of a car. Then...
Having recently spent the holidays driving the Volvo XC90, I am dead keen to get my hands on the new Peugeot 5008. The XC90 might be more than double the price of the 5008, but they are both seven-seaters and I like to put myself in the buyer’s shoes no matter what the car or what the cost.

I often wonder how people can afford to buy cars. Especially when they are over the R200 000 mark. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to live beyond my means and if I had to finance a R400 000 car, I certainly would be. But there are ways and means of owning the car you really want.
