Hi All

Seems like new cars are extremely expensive.

What are my best options?

Are certain brands cheaper than others?

thanks

The prices seem to be the similar to South Africa MerlinZA (ZA = South Africa --- I assume) for cars.

Your 2 best options may be:

1) Look for a used car instead

2) Import your car from S.Africa

We bought a new Hyundai i 10 a few years ago which we thought relatively cheap at the time for Mauritius. It worked out quite well with the warranty and servicing.
We looked at quite a few used cars but so many pitfalls we decided to buy new and glad we did.
Look out for dealership offers.
