Twenty-one drivers - Stressed (Tomsize Remix)
The best and worst cars for prices from South Africa.
A new report released this week shows a big difference in the price of automobile-related parts sold in South Africa.
The Kinsey Report 2015 published by automotive veteran scribe Malcolm Kinsey, covers 74 vehicles in nine categories.
The report shows a price list of 35 parts and the cost of each basket items as a percentage of the price of a car.
Data were collected in the same calendar month, including VAT, while prices are almost exclusively among franchised dealers around Durban to replicate as closely as possible what the customer would know.
According to Kinsey, shopping can still pay dividends manufacturers are not allowed to set a recommended retail price while individual dealers can charge whatever they feel is fair and reasonable.
The large volume sellers are competitive easily compare prices, but the low volume brands can have only one deductible and get a second quote may involve considerable travel, he said.

This makes sense in relation to the reliability of these vehicles Some of the winners of the report Kingsey are renowned for reliability and end this translates into a substantial whole-life cost, which could be more than classification as vehicles more expensive.
Most of the parts basket are things you replace during routine maintenance or parts that are replaced following an accident only a small part of the parts would have nothing to do with the reliability What will a factor is well maintenance service plans and warranties offered by manufacturers.
A service plan simply means that the average buyer pays in advance any service, it does not mean that the services are free.
For example, they run the numbers and realize that on average the costs of service and maintenance for a particular model 100000 km runs R35k They then tack on R45k the purchase price.
They make a profit on the car, they make a profit on the service plan paid upfront, they make more money using the original plan service money as a float.
You'll actually come out ahead if average motorplans are not allowed and all they offered was a guarantee of normal products.
So am I right in saying that if we were to buy a vehicle must take into account that this vehicle will cost ie over a period of three to five years, the price of vehicles and service parts included then look other factors to compare apples to apples I am not clear on the difference between a service plan and maintenance plan.
I am unhappy customer Gm rs sonic and according to the report Kingsley is the car with the most expensive rooms and you wait more than 4 months for the car yesterday I even called the PR in the port elizabeth ask Gm.
I am ready to pay double for the same parts as the car is reliable All Indian Hollow Chineese I can not name a car.
