@AubreyMthoko said:

“Maybe too soon to ask but what do you think the main issues were when you took up the car? Was there information that you left out/ignored or did not know would affect your ability to pay in the future or did a lot change after you bought the car?”
@Kels18Area said:
“Not that I was unable to pay, I was but able to but it left me with less to a point where I couldn’t save anything. I also had a loan I was paying off and other things. So I decided to focus on the debts and service them quicker, which I did.”
@MizChinell said:
“You need to do a mini thread about how you did it. I really wanna return my car but the idea of being blacklisted because of a “repo” scares me!”
@ThabangMonesi said:
“I know a friend who had to return his car and move back home... it took very serious discipline with a heavy heart but today he is really content with where he is financially I could say he is happier… it is a very painful decision but you will bounce back from it.”

A young South African man recently experienced this after he bought a new car following a car crash only three months before that left his other car completely totalled. Heading online, @Ling_14 shared pictures of himself standing proudly with the biggest smile ever next to his brand new baby.
