I am planning on driving my way through a few southern African countries in June/July. I'll likely be arriving at Johannesburg International so would like to buy a car in Gauteng.
Here in New Zealand you can buy a perfectly good late 80's early 90's car for $1,500, or about R8000.
I've had a bit of a look round on the internet, and it seems even the poorest condition cars in South Africa are incredibly expensive?? what is with this??
I'd really appreciate it if a South African local could give some advice. Thanks.
