Hearing the prices of cars can sometimes bring a scare, especially if the cost of a single car is equal to twice or more of your annual income. You wonder, how could you ever own a car even though you are aware it’s a necessity, not just a luxury. Thanks to automakers, who have taken into consideration that fingers are not equal, and thus have made available economical and good quality cars.

Regardless of your salary range, these cars are the cheapest you can find in South Africa, not sacrificing quality and durability. When next you are considering a cheap car to buy, these choices are good to go:
