A car saleswoman plugged Mzansi into budgeting for different vehicles they wanted to purchase.

In a TikTok video, @nkosazana_carlady said people should remember that their budget decides what they drive. She advised people not to shop for a dream car or specific brand but for an instalment, they could afford.

She showed the calculations based on different budgets and the car price one could afford with it. A person with a R2 000 budget can go for a car that costs R100 000, and a person with a monthly budget of R10 000 can go for a vehicle that costs R500 000.
