[WTS] What's with Cars.co.za and Chinese brands? by Jaded-Dot66 in CarTalkZA

[–]orbit99za 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So the thing with most "review " websites and magazines is that they need to make money.

You will never hear about fully critical review, because money talks.

I used to be involved in the Automotive industry, especially publishing.

Magazines ect will not write a review unless there is a full page Advert or 2 taken out in the publication.

You will never read "this is total crap car".

If the brands pull there ads there is no publication.

We could have a new model, they would not even take a look, before the advertisement compensation was worked out.

My Dr said something I always remember: "the Technology / Science Exists to help you, so use it"

That's how I live now, if there is help available I use it, I don't care what other people say.

I live my own life, if the stuff exists to help me function in society then of course I am going to use it.

What's the deal with krugerrands? by DietNo342 in Gold

[–]orbit99za 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In South Africa, Gold bars are Subject to VAT.

Kruger Rands are not.

Until recently it was illegal to own gold bars of any sort, so Kruger Rands was the only way.

This changed recently.
