Two ways to buy

Here or from abroad. Same side of the table.

Whether you live down the road or you land next month, the work is the same: the right car, checked, at a fair price.

In South Africa

Buying at home

Give me your budget. I find the car, negotiate with the dealer and set up the finance if you need it.

  • Sourcing to your budget
  • Full negotiation with the dealer
  • Finance structuring support
FromR5,000Structured into your budget, not added on top.
From abroad

Buying before you land

I source, check and negotiate the car while you are overseas, and prepare your Traffic Register Number. Registration is done in person once you arrive.

  • Sourcing and value checks
  • Negotiation on your behalf
  • TRN and registration paperwork
  • Car held or delivered for your arrival
FromR18,000See the full process
R2,500

Only need a TRN?

I prepare your Traffic Register Number application remotely so you get through in one visit.

 Overland

Driving Africa?

Buy your 4x4 in South Africa, checked and ready for the road north when you land.

 Real deals

See the numbers

Two deals broken down in full, from the trade-in to the final decision.

How it works

Five steps. You sign off on each one.

Nothing moves to the next step until the one before it is done. Nothing is bought until you approve the final price.

  1. 01

    Brief

    Tell me your budget, the car you want and your timeline.

  2. 02

    Shortlist

    I search dealer stock, private sales and my network, then check every option against trade and retail value.

  3. 03

    Inspect

    Every car on the shortlist gets a physical inspection. I'm there when it makes sense, and I arrange it when I'm not.

  4. 04

    Negotiate

    I negotiate the price. You approve the final number before anything is signed.

  5. 05

    Handover

    Transfer, registration and roadworthy handled. You collect the keys.

The person behind Vantara

I'm Luyanda. I represent buyers.

Three years selling cars on a dealership floor, and trained by BAIC South Africa at its plant. I know how a price is built and who it is built for. Vantara puts that on your side of the table.

Questions

Straight answers.

Something not covered here? Ask me directly on WhatsApp.

What does it cost?

Buying in South Africa starts from R5,000, structured into your budget rather than added on top. Buying from abroad starts from R18,000 and scales with the value of the car. TRN help on its own is R2,500.

Inspection, transport and registration are billed at actual cost and shown to you separately.

Who checks the car before I commit?

Every car on the shortlist is checked against trade and retail value and gets a physical inspection before you commit. I'm there when it makes sense, and I arrange the inspection when I'm not.

I live abroad. Can I still buy?

Yes. Sourcing, value checks and negotiation happen before you arrive. Registration in your name needs a Traffic Register Number and is done in person once you land. The buying from abroad page covers it in full.

How do I start?

Send me a WhatsApp with your budget, the car you have in mind and your timeline. I'll reply directly and tell you honestly whether I can add value.
