DID YOU KNOW? If you’re looking to finance a car under R300,000, your estimated monthly repayment will depend on your deposit and interest rate. Here’s a breakdown of projected repayments on a car priced at R300,000, assuming a 10% interest rate over five years (60 months):

  • 0% deposit: ± R6,400 per month*
  • 10% deposit (R30,000): ± R5,800 per month*
  • 20% deposit (R60,000): ± R5,200 per month*
