Second Hand Cars for Sale at an Auction Is Not Without Risk
One of the smarter ways of finding second hand cars for sale is on the auction floor. But remember that buying a vehicle at an auction is not without its risks.
With thousands of repossessed vehicles ending up on auctions floors, buying one at an auction is certainly a good way of getting a vehicle at an excellent price.
Although the car and the paperwork can be inspected prior to the auction, test drives are not permitted, and you will not be able to have the car checked either.
The CAP also allows the vehicle to be sold foot stoods, in other words there is no duty for the auctioneers to repair the vehicle. Therefore if you do buy the car and find that it has a problem or if the car is out of warranty, then the onus is on you to have the car repaired.
Sometimes when the auctioneer advertises the second hand cars for sale as being a bank repo or a liquidated estate, there are also possibilities that the car could come from a car dealer.
If you are not in the “know” on how to buy a car at an auction, you could easily bid on a car that has come from a dealership.
When looking for second hand cars for sale, repossessed cars are often quite attractive compared to those from dealers even if you are not able to test drive the car before-hand.
Many second handcars for sale at auctions don’t come with service books or manuals. The “Viewing Day” offers the interested buyer the chance to look the vehicle over, therefore it is important to look the car over and to do your homework before. This is your chance to take a good look at the car you are interested in. If the car is a bank repo then ask the bank for the vehicle’s logbook, and if the car is liquidated, then ask for the court documents to verify this.

National Health Insurance
In a speech made by President Jacob Zuma on the 30th of March 2009, South Africa was preparing to have national Life insurances.
“The ANC has a clear and achievable plan over the next five years to improve people’s lives further. It focuses on employment creation in a growing economy, health, education, rural development and land reform as well as fighting crime. But this plan will only produce the desired results if all South Africans get involved in implementing it” said President Jacob Zuma
Protecting the poor, accelerating investment spending, minimising job losses. The National Health Insurance Scheme is one of Governments most important projects.
The establishment of the Committee is an important indicator of the forthcoming National Health Insurance Scheme (“the NHIS”). The NHIS has received much attention since it was first mooted by the African National Congress during the general elections in South Africa in 2009. However, very little has been published about the NHIS by the current Government in any formal document. Therefore, the publication of the aforementioned notice is a significant step in the commitment by the current Government to the implementation of the NHIS.
The advisory committee is to be convened in order to advise the Minister of Health on the development of “policy and legislation relating to the introduction of a national health insurance system.
LIFE INSURANCE
LIFE INSURANCE
While opting for different kind of insurance, I had come across a variety of plans that covers the need of different persons in the family. Be it a minor child or an aged parent, or any other dependent. Other than taking care of personal needs, I also found plans that take care of family income, illness, old age, and hospital expenses.
Among the many different plans there are some plans I would recommend every household should opt for. I would strongly recommend considering children’s life insurance as it protects you against any unexpected cost towards your child expenses from medical expenses to education as well as any other expenses that may occur when the child is minor.
Health Insurance is another type of life insurance policy I would suggest for families to secure them against any kind of incurring highly expensive treatments such as cancer or brain tumor or diabetes and against various other ailments where hospitalization is required so that one is ensure about the monthly money that is available for my family to pay back for such kind of expenses.
Life Insurance for family income is yet another category of insurance policy meant for families to protect them in case the insurer of the policy holder dies. In such case the monthly income will continue to support the family of the beneficiary till the policy is in force. The benefit in such type of policies is that they can also be combined with some other categories like mortgage and critical illness and contribute towards the overall financial protection of entire family.
Such policies are quite popular in United Kingdom and comparatively less heard in other countries. However, there is one drawback of such documents that if the policyholder continues to live till the end of the policy term there will be no benefit payable and has no surrender value at any level.
