    I downgraded after getting myself into a financial mess. I had an SLK350 until I got woke. I realised my installment + insurance could buy me 3 rental properties. Yes you can't drive an apartment but I downgraded to a kwid for 3yrs and now the rental income is paying for my haval jolion. My friends laughed ba re ke wele coz I went from SLK350 to a Kwid. Guess who is laughing now.

    As a umlungu I enjoy watching your videos and I'm vibing to your jams 🎧🎶 keep it up brother!
    I feel like there's 1 more viable option which isn't an immediate solution but It can work. Say you have a shortfall (R90k) you should try as best as possible to keep paying till that shortfall is finished (usually occurs after around 2 years of ownership) that's when people usually trade in or sell privately and most times depending on how your finance is structured (and depending on the car) you will break even. So in short u must eat pap and eggs for at least 2 years until u can trade in or sell to break even. This will be best not to hurt your credit score.

    I work in car insurance and the premiums for a quote is never the same. All quotes are different. The only logical answer for why the premiums are that way for the swift in terms of a new driver is risk factors involved.
    While the baleno is a more expensive car and the swift cheaper. The swift is more of a demand than the baleno itself thus making its a high risk vehicle in multiple scenarios such as accident rates, theft, hijacking and the list goes on. It also comes down to the persons driving history that plays a big role in insurance in terms of premiums.

  • @ntshembomashaba2937
    @ntshembomashaba2937 10 місяців тому +1

    1. Before voluntary surrender one can sell the car on their own and see if they can get "good" money, closer to what they owe.
    2. On top of insurance get shortfall cover. For those who don't know, shortfall covers the difference if you sell your car or write off etc.
    3. When they auction the car on your behalf, there's fees. So if car is sold for R100k, it doesn't mean 100k will be credited to your account
