The general rule provided by WesBank is that you should not spend more than 20% of your gross monthly salary on vehicle repayments. This gives the average Joe around R<span id=\"cwos\" class=\"qv3Wpe\">4,700 to play with each month, which would buy a perfectly good Suzuki or Renault city runner.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"cwos\" class=\"qv3Wpe\">To afford a million rand car would need a salary of around R85,000, and a shiny electric vehicle with all the trims would require something closer to the R150,000 mark.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>All three Garman carmakers &#8211; Audi, BMW, and Mercedes Benz &#8211; do have models that start at less than half the price of an entry-level electric vehicle.<\/p>\n<hr
