If you are buying the vehicle from a private person I would suggest paying them with a bank guaranteed check.
That way you have 15 days to check to see if everything is in order, if not go to your bank, have the check reversed & give him the car back.
Check the registration papers to see if it is a code 2 or 3.
If the car is a code 3 it means the car has been scrapped before & the value of it drops.
Depending on the value of the car, you could also take it to Dekra http://www.dekraauto.co.za/ to check if you are buying a dud or not.
