Yes, the vehicle is available for purchase, but it has already been sold.

Good day,

I would like to share my recent experience at NMI Toyota Tyger valley (pre-owned autos). I was interested in a Toyota that was advertised on Cars.co.za. I went to the dealership and was shown the car, given the keys, and allowed to inspect it thoroughly. The salesperson was very pleasant and helpful. I mentioned that I intended to trade in my present vehicle, and it was arranged for the manager to inspect it, which he did. To my astonishment, he returned a low trade-in offer (R15000) lower than other dealer trade offers. I, on the other hand, was still interested in the Toyota. To my astonishment, I was then informed that the automobile had been sold and that they are waiting for the finance approval from the bank. I was told that if the purchase was unable to obtain financing for any reason, I may be considered for the purchase of the vehicle. Almost two weeks later, I noticed the automobile was still posted on Cars.co.za. I opted to submit an application through Cars.co.za. I later received a call from Toyota Tyger valley informing me that the automobile was available. I stated that I was interested but assumed the car had been sold; I was then asked who I had dealt with and told that they would investigate and get back to me. They called back 5 minutes later and said they were waiting for finance; I said surely it doesn't take two weeks. I was then told that the intending purchaser does not have a driver's license; I agreed that banks would not finance without one. Then I was told that the person is married in community of property, and that is the issue. I inquired why the vehicle was still being advertised. I was told that it will be promoted for as long as the purchaser's financing takes for approval.
