Getting Ready To Kick Start The New Year
Okay it is January yet again, lots to organise, sort out and arrange so early in the year. Are you sending your child off to college with a car? Or driving to and from high school? Is your carpool schedule filling up? Make sure you have your vehicle bucket list completed as part of your back to school preparations in 2019.
Back-to-school is a busy time for everyone! and now is the perfect time to make sure your car is in tip top shape. Be prepared and get ready for this busy time by following these simple guidelines!
- Check Your Dash Board: Have you grown accustomed to a warning light? Don’t ignore it! Have it checked out sooner rather than later. Again, catching a problem early will prevent costly repairs in the future.
- Headlights and brake lights: Be sure your lights are functioning correctly – brake lights that are burned out are a danger to yourself and other vehicles on the road. For safety, you need to be able to see and be seen.
- Have your brakes inspected: Worn brakes impede your ability to stop quickly making it more likely you’ll find yourself in an accident. To avoid this a professional mechanic should check your vehicle’s brakes regularly.
- Know Your Car: Pay attention to your car and familiarize your child with the car as well. Make sure they know where they can find the safety equipment, spare tire and owner’s manual.
- Top up all fluids. Yes, that means performing regular oil changes. But it also means checking on all the other fluids your car needs — transmission, brakes, coolants and more. Clean fluids help your engine run smoothly, while dirty fluids can cause damage
We at Mitsubishi Menlyn have a vehicle to suit your individual needs and requirements, may it be new or Pre-Owned. We strive to assist our clients in making their lives a little easier when purchasing a vehicle, one less thing to stress about when starting the New Year.
Know your Finance at CMH Mitsubishi South
Buying a car is an exciting process but it’s important to acquaint yourself with the facts before signing a vehicle finance contract.
Here are 3 things you should know before signing a vehicle finance contract.
- Ask, ask and ask again
When you arrive at the dealership to finalise the deal, you’ll be guided through the process by the dealership’s appointed Finance and Insurance (F&I) representative.F&Is are registered with the National Credit Regulator and is FAIS & FICA qualified, if you have any questions about your finance or deal. - Get familiar with finance
In the process of arranging your contract you’ll be given the option to choose a fixed or linked interest rate. Know the difference, and how this will affect your budget in the short and long term.WesBank states: “A fixed interest rate on your loan will be higher at first, but it will also remain the same for the duration of the loan. Conversely, a linked interest rate will be lower at first, and save you money”. “Make a decision about the contract period. This is how long you’ll be paying off the loan. You can choose from 12 months, all the way to 72 months.”Ensure you know the advantages of putting down a big deposit. By doing so you will save on interest payments, and have lower monthly repayments. - Get insurance
One of the important documents to take along when signing your contract is proof of insurance. This only applies if you have an existing insurance policy and have opted to arrange your own insurance. If you have asked the dealership to arrange an insurance quote, they will provide you with the correct documentation.
WesBank states: “Insurance is vital because you will not be allowed to drive the car out of the showroom without proving to the bank that the vehicle is insured. In the extreme scenario that you are involved in an accident straight after taking delivery of your new car, you can rest safe knowing that your insurance policy will cover everything.”
The F&I will also explain that you are required to maintain comprehensive insurance on the car for the duration of the finance contract. This protects you and your finances – if anything happens to the car, the insurance will pay out the insured value of the car and you will not have to worry about paying back the loan for a car you no longer have
The History of the legendary Pajero LWB
The fantastic history of the legendary Mitsubishi Pajero LWB is definitely one of true off-road and safari nature. From its origins as a short wheel base, long wheel base variants were introduced approximately a year after its production initialised in July 1983.
The inspiration behind the design was to have the appearance of a leopard found in the wild areas of the South American Andes mountain range, between Argentina and Chile. This symbolism would reflect the wild concept and outdoor spirit that Pajero represented.
With its introduction in the 1980s, the Jeep version of the Mitsubishi struggled to gain market share with international markets as there were some licencing issues with Willy’s that made it difficult to break ground in overseas markets.
The combination of luxury and adventure lifestyle was the main target market, it was a true competitor amongst enthusiasts in 1980s Japan. The appeal of its rugged capability made the vehicle a true item that would soon be introduced to the Paris- Dakar rally in 1985, where it would continue to take overall victory a further 12 times. With the development of the new 3 link suspension this would drive the capability of the off-road prowess into new dimension of exceptional performance.
The second generation of the Pajero entered the market in early 1991. The changes brought an array of more modern amenities in the vehicle and the introduction of the Super Select AWD drive system, this system made it possible for the vehicle to be switched between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive under 100 km/h.
This system made it simpler to switch the drive modes dependent on terrain and environmental conditions. Variants were released as 3.0l V6and followed by 3.6l V6 variants in the latter part of 1997.
The third generation Pajero was introduced as a completely remodified vehicle now with features that preceded its time and with its record of rally driving vehicles, suspension and engine performance ability was enhanced and refined, still carrying the design theme of a wild cat in the facia of the vehicle. The intro of the fourth generation Pajero was in 2006, with the Super Select II AWD system with its superior capability and independent wishbone and multi-link suspension, still has the stellar luxury amenities that made the stalwart popular in the early and late 90s.
The introduction of the Legend II Pajero and current fifth generation vehicle has continued to make Pajero a brand vehicle to be reckoned with, throughout its conception and evolution over the past four decades. Offering 7 seats and full interior leather trim with wood grain and luxuriously smooth ride, modern technological features the Pajero has remained to its origins with little deviation from the design that has sustained its popularity through the ages. A sublime comfortable ride with amazing performance that has not faltered, a mechanically

ATHLETIC DESIGN ACCENTUATED
The striking athletic design of the all-new Triton was recognised by the Media when it was originally launched globally, as well as in South Africa. The ergonomic design and proportionate shape of the new Triton (versus its competitors), is much more balanced and sleek, offering additional benefits to the driver and passengers such as ample shoulder- and head space, as well as better all-round visibility. Add the trendy new orange and black exterior- and interior design cues with a matching interior theme, an integrated Sports bar as well as shiny black alloy wheels to our double cab bakkie in standard guise (already highly appraised by the Media), then the new Triton Athlete completes the picture of the stylish, modern-day bakkie driver who uses his/her vehicle for everyday driving, as well as for family lifestyle activities over weekends and holidays. The striking newcomer, with its trendy orange and black exterior and interior design cues, will make its owners stand out in a crowd of flashy cars and expensive lifestyle gear.

The Triton Athlete is exclusively finished with a new front bumper garnish, a new gloss black grille with a honeycomb pattern, which further enhance the sporty and bold front-end appearance of our bakkie. A lower bumper spoiler with gloss black inserts, matched with a new fog lamp garnish complete the look of the new front styling. Gloss black trim is used on the front- and rear bumpers, wheel arch extensions, side mirror covers, side step bars and door handles to enhance the sporty appearance of our new lifestyle bakkie. An integrated colour-coded Sports bar is fitted to the load box, with a rear spoiler fitted at the tip of the tail gate to further enhance the dynamic look of the Triton Athlete. Completing the sporty look of the new Triton Athlete, is a set of special orange and black decals on the doors, as well as on the corners of the front- and rear bumpers. New 4WD Super Select II decals are displayed on the sides and tailgate of this new derivative as well. The black and orange theme is prevalent throughout the cabin with perforated orange leather combination seats, with an ‘ATHLETE’ embroidery found on the front seats as well. The matching bright-orange stitching which is found on the leather seats, steering wheel, gear knob, centre console armrest and door trim inserts further contribute to the stylish and sporty appearance of this new Special Edition.
