How Safe Is It to Sell Your Car Online?
Buying and selling products and services online has become
so commonplace in the past few years that it’s possible to buy almost anything
you need without leaving your home. Does the same concept work with buying cars
online in South Africa?
The Dangers
The dangers of buying a car online are the same as buying anything
online. Buying from an irreputable seller could leave you with a product that isn’t
the same as what was advertised. In the worst-case scenario, your product could
fail to arrive entirely. The same goes for buying a car. You’d need to know
that the seller is trustworthy, honest and has your best interests at heart. This
is becoming increasingly hard to determine though. That’s why the E-Dealer Portal
is focused on complete transparency. We screen and pre-approve all of our
vehicle dealerships before we allow them to advertise on our platforms. That’s why
you can browse our vehicle listings with peace of mind knowing that you’ll get
the best value for your money, an incredible car and fantastic customer
service.
The Benefits
Buying a car online definitely has more benefits than
drawbacks. Here are some of the benefits of buying or selling your car online
as opposed to buying it at a lot:
- You’ll have a greater variety of options. You don’t only have to choose from the cars on the lot.
- You can tailor your online searches to show the exact car you’re looking for.
- You can organise to meet your seller where you feel comfortable.
- You could potentially find the same make and model for different prices.
The Verdict
Buying a car online in South Africa is as safe and reliable
as the sellers you work with. If you’re buying from an unreliable or unknown online
seller, you could face some risks that you’re not willing to deal with. But
when you work with honest and trustworthy sellers, you could be making the best
and easiest decision yet. The outcome depends on how you approach it! The E-Dealer
Portal screens and pre-approves each and every dealership that signs onto our
portal before we allow them to post their vehicle listings. We do this to
ensure that you’re getting exactly what you see in the images and that you can
rest assured that you’ve bought a reliable and affordable vehicle.
If you’d like to sign up to the E-Dealer Portal as a dealership,
please visit our website at www.e-dealerportal.co.za or contact us directly. We’re ready and
waiting to help you get your vehicles the best possible exposure. If you’re
looking to buy a high-quality new or pre-owned vehicle, please feel free to
