I watched only 3 videos of this guy. I did most the things he advised us about. I managed to get a VW Polo TSI base model at 13,75% fixed rate 72 months with 0 balloon payment. To sweeten the deal the sales lady offered free smash and grab, as well as mud flaps. Big one is I managed to convince them to scrap off delivery fee worth R6500. I did my best🤣🤣. Thanks Muzi
How did you manage to get them to scrap a delivery fee? Please send tips. A dealership wants to charge me R4.6k for delivery and they say it is ‘standard’
Dude... I never got to thank you. In Dec 2023. I bought my first car and and got 20k off. Zero admin fees Free window tints Tank of fuel Learnt it all from you bro.
Managed to use your buying tips to avoid so many shady things. Dealership wanted to add R32k worth of VAPS on my deal... On a used car! I told them to get real and remove that nonsense. Got the car recently and managed to get it for a deal I was happy with. I was happy to walk away though if they didn't move.
Walking away feels so good till it's raining in the morning bt anyway I had one charging VAT ya 35k on a demo car with a few km's on it...kanti this VAT n sit is not included on the listed/sellng price na🤷♀️🤷♀️ Re tlo etsa di mistake mo
@@moselantsasekhuthe8065 "...till it's raining" This is the exact mentality that this video is warning against. There was never rain before you bought your first car?😂😂
Here's a summary of what to watch for from my experience and some lessons from this channels videos. Dealer possible options to scrap and what salesman will say. 1. Smash & Grab (it's on the car we can't remove) 2. On the road fees/service and delivery (hardest to get them to remove this one, be prepared to walk away) 3.Tracker (no problem they'll remove) 4.Extended Warranty & service ( no problem they'll remove) 5. Paint protection (see 1) 6. Scratch/bumper insurance( no problem they'll remove) 7. License and reg (They can remove, but I don't mind paying up to 1500 for it, the only extra I pay for in this whole list) Salesman pressure/negotiation tactices 1. Let me speak to my manger (a classic, there's no manager they need to speak to. They will make another colleague call you to convince but it's not a manager) 2. Another customer wants this car (another classic, creating urgency) 3. Ask you what you want to pay per month (classic first question. Don't answer that. Point at the car you want, ofcourse you go there after seeing the price online. From there they will see your budget in terms of price of car, not monthly installment. I can't stress this enough, don't talk installments with salesman!) Lastly, check your emotions if you not feeling any of these and stop the process! 1. I want this car as in today ( you will accept a crappy deal) 2. If I don't accept that deal with that dealership I won't get another one soon because cars take long to order (the salesman got you good. They made you believe that. STOP!) 3. I'm so exhausted I just want this whole thing to end (STOP, otherwise you will accept a crappy deal just to get over and done with it) Okay I'm done 🙂
My brother Thank you for this you just did the lords work for me whos looking to buy in November this year. will definitely use this, so you said you only pay for license & reg fee out of all the things you mentioned? so you are able to cnvince them to waive off everything else
@@XFiles_Podcast Yes sirr. I insist they remove everything. Make it clear you won't pay more than the advertised price period. Tell them if they had additional costs, they should've added them in the price of the car. I've done over 7 vehicle quotes, not once have they refused. They try but they give in
@@XFiles_Podcast Yessir Just insist they remove the other stuff. Be prepared to walk away. Out of the 7 times I've done this I always succeeded removing all these things. Some salesman are harder but some can tell if you know your story and don't fight much.
This should go down as one of the best videos MJ has ever done 👌🏻🔥👏🏻 Very important and valid points touched on. I've argued the issue of delivery fee twice in the past and got away with it (never paid the fee). It's nonsense. In one of those instances i actually cancelled the deal then got a call 2 days later from the same dealership agreeing to my demand of scraping off delivery fee from the quote. And you are right about a legal case that once happened about dealers charging that fee. I once bought a car, private deal, but financed through Wesbank. A year or so down the line (after the outcome of that case, Wesbank called me to refund that delivery fee. Watch out people, at times dealerships include the cost of new number plates on registration fee, yet you get that demo/used car with the same number plate already fitted. Be brave enough to walk away from a deal.
My first car I bought at prime + 5%. 😂 I still feel like these banks should be investigated for this practice of charging high interest rates. I've seen in the UK some banks being fined for working with dealerships to charge clients high interest rates.
always on point with the videos. im sure you are helping many first time owners but i think the desperation to get a new car and also best makes some want to take anything. personally, save save save get a nice demo if you can and try buy car cash finish! if a car is under R150K and used save and buy it outright and move on with life (only insurance and your tracker and fuel, albeit maintenance always!). keep the videos coming baba🦅
Excitement is the enemy of logical decisions. As soon as you see that machine and approval. You forget about all those car-buying mistakes and you don't even even go through those papers.
Learning from the best. End of this month I will walk away with the new Jolion City that was launched few weeks ago, I will use the Toyota Urban Cruiser (2024) as a comparison because there are certain features that it has that the Haval doesn’t and that’s where I’ll base my negotiating skills 😂 Both the quotes are at N$ 355k currently, I will come back with an update beginning of August. My budget is N$ 348 000
I love how most of the cars correlate with the topic you are talking about. It's that little attention to detail that makes it more exciting to watch😅🙏
Eish listening on today's lesson I realise a few mistakes I made in January 2024 on my new Baleno GL 1. Smash and grab 2. Delivery and registration fees but atleast the car was delivered on my door step with a full tank 3. Desparation due to 2010 old A4 lemon with constant repairs 4. Interest rate not so bad at fixed 13% on 72months, no residual. Next buy ba nyele new or second hand I'll be more pobop 🤟 Thanks Mr Sambo 🎉
On point! The biggest problem I've had when helping friends with this stuff is the excitement of getting a new car. I've found that the hard part is fighting against them from accepting a crappy deal. Me negotiating with the delearship is the straightforward part. 4 ladies I've helped with this and all 4 were fighting me saying they tired of this whole process they just want to accept that deal coz "It's not that bad" 😮😂 Yoh ay car buying excitement is a hell of a drug and salesman prey on this
for those who still don't believe you can negotiate scrapping some of the fees, reducing interest rate etc take it from me. i did it. when i bought my car( 2nd hand cruze- price R149 000 in 2019) i was quoted R3 600+ on finance. i kept telling them it's a lot and they kept reducing amount bit by bit call after another until it was rigid at R3 100. it seems like very little money but over the term it's R 36 000 that i'd have to pay. so negotiate everything and when you're done, negotiate again.
I remember on my first car VW charged me 10K delivery coz I allowed them to handle to whole finance application process and stuff for me. This series made me realise how the much they scammed me at that place to inflate the cost of a second hand car. The previous owner probably already had the smash and grab installed which they charged me for
Listen to the cadence of Muzi’s voice when he says “A whole 8 years” 😂😂😂😂 no wonder I have watched almost every video since the beginning of the channel
I think one of the most important things in car ownership is to be greatful for what you have, then you will keep yourself out of more unecesarry debt.
The extended warranty may be optional but I would advise you get the service plan, especially with a second car. It will save you a lot of stress down the road.
Muzi! Please do a video on the guaranteed buyback. For people who enjoy to lease a car and never own a car, it makes sense. But the dealers are obviously targetting the newbies and they are falling for it because of affordability!
Avoid balloon payment. If you require the balloon payment to finance a car then you don’t afford it. It’s true that new car excitement wears off quickly, for most people it’s around the second instalment. Any first time buyer should not be alone at the stealerships aka dealerships. Take an experienced trusted friend. Salesman’s are too convincing if you are weak 😂
When you re done with the video, Start again at 06:22, Play the video at 0.5X Speed, and play it on repeat until A Click of regret comes. Thank Me later.
One lady on TikTok said said she is paying R7.2k with a balloon of R90000, guess what car, a Vivo!! Women are just scammed Shem, one was paying R6.7 for a Vivo too
I’m on a 8 year deal paying for a first car😭😂. And as I was considering to take the car back and negotiate for another one, you spoke about shortfalls. I don’t know what to do sana 😢
90% of dealers will do smah and grab for free, if you let them think the deal depends on it also a good cosmetic plan is not a waste of money, i paid R5999 for a cosmetic plan in 2020, it was for 4 years and I claimed R58k in those 4 years for small scrapes and dents that you get in parking lot, just make sure you know exactly how your cosmetic plan works, i had one from trafficc and if you keep to their rules, they have no issue paying out
Sure Muzi Next year am planning to get myself Suzuki Baleno GL Brand new.. I am planning to get it cash. I need tips on how I can negotiate for a good discount. My budget is R250 000 all in...including smash and grab, delivery fee with NO extras and VAPS....How can I initiate all this to the dealership to score a nice deal?
The other crap they do when they have over priced the car....They add the diff on your VAPs and show the correct price of the vehicle.If u don't know they will tell you no it doesn't matter because at the end of the day you paid the correct amount nevermind the splitt.
Hello Muzi! Thank you for being the big brother I never had😭❤. Can I ask, is there a downside to buying a demo vehicle? Im not sure if you've covered this in another video. If so, you can please send me the link. Thank you so much.
When I bought my polo, dealer wanted to charge 5000 for admin only no smash and grab..using my friends in the industry I paid 3400 ( 900 for Smash and 2500 registration and stuff)

1. Smash & Grab (it's on the car we can't remove)

Salesman pressure/negotiation tactices
1. Let me speak to my manger (a classic, there's no manager they need to speak to. They will make another colleague call you to convince but it's not a manager)
2. Another customer wants this car (another classic, creating urgency)
