One of the cheapest ways to get a new bakkie is second hand – sometimes. It all depends on how you decide to go about looking for bakkies for sale. It is possible to get really good deals, you do need to be careful though.

One of the things you need to be careful of when looking for second hand bakkies for sale is private sales. These are often done by people who are looking to get rid of their bakkie quickly with as few legalities as possible or that have not been able to find a second hand car dealership to take their car. It is very important to have a mechanic or someone who knows a lot about cars with you when you look at privately advertised bakkies for sale.

It is generally safer to get your bakkies from a second hand dealer if you must go the second hand route. They will have already vetted the bakkie and made sure that it is safe to drive around. It may cost a little more to get a bakkie from a dealer, but you have legal recourse if they happen to sell you a lemon instead of the car they advertised. You will also be able to have the second hand car dealership do the re-registration for you, which will save you a lot of time.

The best bet, though is to get a brand new bakkie. You will be the first owner and have no fear of picking up problems that previous owners have left for the person who buys their second hand bakkie to fix.

Finding bakkies for sale is the easy part of buying a new bakkie. It is finding a reliable bakkie that can be tricky. Make sure you do your research properly and take a look at all the cars you are willing to consider, do not consider the car if you are not going to be allowed to test drive it. Be careful of private dealers just to be sure you do not get ripped off.
