Ungathanda yini ukukhokhela umshayeli omusha umshwalense nge-hatchback engu-£6,000 enenjini encane ne-alamu eyakhelwe ngaphakathi, noma imoto enkulu ebizayo enesivinini esingu-200 km/h? Ngokuvamile, izimoto ezishibhe kakhulu okumelwe zifakwe kumshwalense zingamamodeli anesizotha, anengqondo anezinjini ezinamandla kancane kanye nezindleko zokulungisa eziphansi uma kwenzeka ingozi. 

Zonke izimoto zinikezwe inombolo yeqembu lomshwalense ukusuka ku-1 kuye ku-50, lapho ishibhile khona ukuvikela izinombolo kunezinombolo eziphezulu. Kunezinye izici ezisetshenziswa izinkampani zomshwalense ukubala izindleko zepholisi yakho, njengokuthi indawo ohlala kuyo kanye nomsebenzi owenzayo. Kodwa, njengomthetho, imoto engabizi enenjini encane (ngaphansi kuka-1 amalitha) izosiza ukunciphisa izindleko zomshuwalense. 

Khumbula ukuthi ungakwazi ukucela "inani" ezinkampanini zomshwalense imoto ngaphambi kokuba uyithenge. Imoto ngayinye yaseCazoo ineqembu lomshwalense, elibhalwe emininingwaneni ekuwebhusayithi.

5. Ngingathola kanjani ukuthi imoto izobiza malini ukuze isebenze?

Uma imoto yakho ibibiza ngaphezu kuka-£40,000 ngenkathi iyintsha, kungase kudingeke ukhokhe intela yonyaka eyengeziwe, nakuba lokhu kungenakwenzeka kubathengi abaningi bezimoto abaqala ngqa. 

Lindela ukusebenzisa cishe u-£150 ngaphezulu ukuze uthole isevisi ephelele emotweni encane futhi uzungeze u-£250 ngemodeli enkulu. Abanye abakhiqizi banikela ngamaphakheji esevisi akhokhelwa ngaphambili awenza ashibhe. Kufanele wenze isevisi yemoto yakho ngemva kwamamayela angu-12,000 nakuba lokhu kungase kuhluke - hlola nomkhiqizi wemoto yakho ukuthi lokhu kufanele kube kangaki.

Kodwa uma njalo uthatha uhambo olude ngesivinini esikhulu, khona-ke injini kadizili ingase isebenze kahle. Izimoto zikadizili zivamise ukusebenzisa uphethiloli omncane kancane kunezo zikaphethiloli futhi zisebenza kahle kakhulu emigwaqweni emikhulu. Nokho, azilungele uhambo olufushane - izimoto zikadizili zingaguga ngokushesha uma zingasetshenziselwa injongo yazo. 

Izimoto ezisebenza ngogesi zivame ukubiza kakhulu kunezimoto zikaphethiloli noma zikadizili futhi kuthatha isikhathi eside "ukugcwalisa" ugesi. Kodwa uma unomgwaqo ongenela lapho ungashaje khona futhi futhi ushayele ngaphansi kwamamayela ayi-100 ngosuku, imoto kagesi ingaba inketho efanelekile.

7. Wazi kanjani ukuthi imoto iphephile?

Izimoto eziningi ezintsha zinezinga lokuphepha elisemthethweni lenhlangano ezimele i-Euro NCAP.

Isilinganiso sisekelwe ngokwengxenye ekuhlolweni kokuphahlazeka, kodwa futhi nasemandleni emoto okuvimbela izingozi. Izimoto ezintsha zifakwe ubuchwepheshe obukwazi ukubona ingozi futhi zenze ngokushesha kunalokho obungasabela.

Izilinganiso zezinkanyezi ze-Euro NCAP zikunikeza umbono ophusile wokuthi imoto iphephe kangakanani, kodwa kungaba ngaphezu kwalokho. Imoto yezinkanyezi ezinhlanu yango-2020 kungenzeka iphephe kunemoto yezinkanyezi ezinhlanu yango-2015. Futhi i-4x4 yezinkanyezi ezinhlanu kungenzeka iphephe kune-five-star supermini. Kodwa ngaphezu kwakho konke, imoto ephephe kunazo zonke yileyo lapho umshayeli ephephile khona, futhi awekho ama-airbag angakushintsha lokho.

8. Siyini isiqinisekiso?

Iwaranti isithembiso somkhiqizi wezimoto sokulungisa izingxenye ezithile zemoto uma zehluleka phakathi neminyaka embalwa yokuqala. Ihlanganisa izingxenye okungafanele ziguge, hhayi izinto ezifana namathayi nama-clutch disc okudingeka abanikazi bawashintshe ngezikhathi ezithile. 

Izimoto eziningi zinewarranty yeminyaka emithathu, ngakho uma uthenga imoto eneminyaka emibili, isengaphansi kwewaranti unyaka owodwa ngaphezulu. Abanye abakhiqizi banikela kakhulu - AbakwaHyundai banikeza iwaranti yeminyaka emihlanu kuwo wonke amamodeli abo, kanti iKia neSsangYong banikeza eyeminyaka eyisikhombisa. Lokhu kusho ukuthi uma uthenga iKia yeminyaka emibili, usazoba newarranty yeminyaka emihlanu.

Ngisho noma imoto oyithenga kwa-Cazoo ingamboziwe iwaranti yomkhiqizi, sisazokunikeza iwaranti yezinsuku ezingu-90 ukuze uthole ukuthula kwengqondo.
