Just a few years ago looking for and buying used cars in Gauteng meant traipsing through the bottom end of town and wearing the leather off the soles of your shoes. Jules Street in Johannesburg was a typical example of a long line of dealers of used cars, Gauteng's best example probably. Not only did it mean a lot of walking, but many of the dealers were on the shady side, and one never knew what sort of vehicle one would end up with.
The only alternative was to either search the used cars Gauteng's newspaper columns or specialist motor magazines contained. Thanks to the Internet those days are over, and the only walking you need to do today is with your fingers on a keyboard. The Internet first started to go through its infant stages in the early 1990s, but it took some fifteen years for Internet marketing sites to get off the ground.
The Internet has been able to take over or supplement much of the business that used to be prevalent. It has done this by means of databases, and the great thing about this type of advertising is that both buyers and sellers can make use of the service As many details about a vehicle as possible are entered into a database where the car is located, the selling price, colour, make, model, year and a list of its accessories.
There is a form on the website into which a person looking for a particular type of vehicle enters search details. By entering pertinent details one can see exactly what used cars Gauteng dealers have to offer. These are listed by make, model and price according to the specifications entered in the form. The result is that there is no time wasted looking at vehicles that fall outside the specifications laid out in the entered form.
