Selling cars online has become a risky business with scammers prowling the online car scene and sellers falling victim to forgery, scamming and online car corruption. While selling your car through a reputable dealership is the best option, and one that Motus Select suggests you do, selling your Kia car for sale privately is sometimes one's preferred option.
Safety Screening Of Potential Buyers
A safe sell always starts with a safety screening of potential buyers. It can be expected that you will be bombarded by a plethora of emails, calls and text messages from interested parties but be sure to safely screen every single one of them. Don't let eagerness for a sale stop you from selling your car safely. Use your intuition to spot any unsafe and suspicious buyers and take the process slow so that you don't miss any warning signs. Kia cars for sale are a popular choice for motorists, but not all motorists are a popular choice when it comes to selling your car. If you spot suspicious behaviour over the phone while asking important questions, simply hang up. Pay attention to what the potential buyer says, you may discover they are professional buyers looking to flip the car. Pay attention to how they bargain aggressively, and you will find that they try to get to the lowest selling amount as fast as possible. Pay attention to evasive answers given by the potential buyer too, as this will indicate a test-drive trap. Also pay attention to the driver's license they show you as it may indicate criminal intentions.
Always Use Cash
Cash is king when selling your car so pay special attention when it comes to the payment process. The number one rule when selling your car safely is to never accept online transactions. No cash in hand, no car handover. Car sales go hand-in-hand with cash payments when car dealerships are not involved. Selling privately opens the door to online scammers and fraud with fake online payment transactions and the payment proof thereof making an ever so common appearance. Not only are fraudulent documents used when it comes to online payments, but payments are then reversed upon handover of the vehicle. And when cash is handed over, pay attention not only to the amount to ensure you were not ripped off, but also the legitimacy of the bills. By remaining wary of a potential buyer who suggests suspicious payment options, you will avoid an unsafe situation.
Ensure Safety After The Sale With The Right Documents
Even if the sale goes well without any hitches, you want to ensure that you're not headed for car corruption after you hand over the vehicle. If you have handed over the keys but not followed up with the new owner to ensure the car title and relevant ownership documents have been filled in and filed properly, you may land up with costly fines and other financial stresses. While you're already efficient in providing all the right documents and paperwork from your side, pay careful attention to changes of ownership and registration documents shown by the new owner.
At The Moment Of Sale, Pay Attention To The Location
Meeting a stranger face to face is always a safety risk so pay attention to the location desired by the seller. When meeting a potential buyer, pick a safe, public location and always take someone with you. The same applies when the buyer requests a test drive - take someone with you in the vehicle and do the test drive in a safe area. When setting up a meeting point, pay close attention to what the potential buyer suggests as this may indicate an unsafe buyer.
If you're not up for the game of selling suspicions and betraying buyers, rather avoid the stress of selling your car and finding the right one through a virtual world of scammers. Rather sell your Kia car for sale through Motus Select.
Sophisticated design with a touch of modernity does not have to come at a steep price. Automotive excellence is no longer only a European standard, with many Asian car manufacturers going above and beyond with their offerings.
Take Hyundai, South Korea’s leading car maker, which stands out with its low-cost, economical buys. Renowned for their sleek design and plush interiors, they offer an elevated driving experience.
That said, when browsing through our curated collection of Hyundai pre-owned models, the Grand i10 Sedan may pique your interest. In the realm of automotive elegance, the pre-owned Hyundai Grand i10 Sedan stands out as a beacon of sophistication and comfort without the high price tag. Renowned for its sleek design and plush interiors, this sedan offers a driving experience that seamlessly blends style with functionality.
Redefined Aesthetics
The range carries two options for consumers to consider, both fitted with a 1.2L petrol engine and either a manual or automated transmission gearbox. The 4-cylinder engines reach max speeds of 167 km/h on manual and a 5.9 L/100 km fuel economy rate in the automated mode.
Graceful Design
Repurposed as the Grand i10 Sedan from the Aura variant in India, this car has much to boast. Starting with its design, while compact, it certainly has a contemporary feel and look. Fine lines and a robust grille are added touches to the exterior. It is a head-turner in the concrete jungle in our books.
Understated Luxury
Hyundai is not often associated with luxury exclusivity, but we can’t help but admire the interiors of the Grand i10 sedan on this one. Meticulous craftsmanship dots the cabin, from exceptional stitching to futuristic embellishments on the front dashboard. Although the cabin lacks shiny finishes, it is not cheapened in any way, which is appealing to consumers looking for practical elegance.
Hyundai is pushing towards more four-door sedan variations. Their last well-received effort was the iconic Elantra, which has sadly been discontinued. But the Grand i10 Sedan is more than a worthy replacement, in our opinion.
Book your test drive in one of our high-end Hyundai pre-owned models, from the Grand i10 Sedan to the Venue. Experience commitment, quality, and reliability you can trust with Motus Select.
A milestone performance hybrid with Direct4, the RX 500h sees Lexus shift its focus from optimum efficiency to produce a model with a genuine performance edge, raising the RX’s appeal with customers who want high-end electrified performance.
Lexus has launched the fifth generation RX with a brand-new design, new powertrains, greater performance, refined luxury, unparalleled safety and a revolutionary plug-in hybrid model.
During the design process the team took inspiration from the model’s rich heritage to produce a car that is instantly recognisable while also being more dynamic, elegant and confident.
As part of the process a new design language called New Chapter was formulated which incorporates a new spindle body, achieved by integrating the signature spindle grille concept into the entire front of the vehicle. The slim headlight units and a front track that is 15mm wider emphasises the car’s lower centre of gravity and planted look. Sculpted surfaces on the door panels, flared rear wings and 21-inch wheels add a sense of dynamism.
The rear features a shorter overhang, wider track and sweeping transition from the wings around to the taillights. The rear combination lights are set in a light bar that spans the width of the car and wraps around the corners to heighten the wider look which is further underlined by the new Lexus word logo.
F Sport models are fitted with a bespoke front bumper that expresses a wide and low stance and contributes to aerodynamic performance. These models also gain 21-inch, exclusive, multi-spoke, black gloss aluminium wheels, six-piston brake callipers and the grille features an exclusive mesh pattern.
The new RX is available with three different electrified powertrains. The RX 450h+ adopts plug-in hybrid technology and offers 65km of EV driving range. Once the battery is depleted, the vehicle switches seamlessly to the self-charging hybrid system, maintaining high fuel and emissions efficiency. The system uses a four-cylinder Atkinson cycle 2.5-litre hybrid engine paired to the Lexus e-CVT system and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with an 18.1kWh capacity. An additional rear electric motor enables Lexus E-four fulltime all-wheel drive. Total output measures 227kW.
A milestone performance hybrid with Direct4, the RX 500h sees Lexus shift its focus from optimum efficiency to produce a model with a genuine performance edge, raising the RX’s appeal with customers who want high-end electrified performance. This model uses a completely new parallel hybrid architecture, featuring a turbocharged 2.4-litre petrol engine with six-speed automatic transmission, integrated front motor and power control unit, hybrid battery and compact rear e-axle. A total system output of 273kW and 550Nm allows this model to sprint to 100km/h in 6,2 seconds while using just 6,5 litres per 100km. The intelligent all-wheel drive system uses a separate electric motor and inverter to constantly balance the power and torque between the front and rear axles in any driving situation.
The RX 350h is characterised by a smooth and efficient self-charging hybrid system. The 2.5-litre petrol drivetrain offers 184kW while using just 5,4 litres per 100km thanks to the same selection of hybrid components as used in the RX 450h+.
In addition to these electrified options a RX 350 is available with a new 2.4-litre turbocharged inline-four petrol engine that offers 205kW and 430Nm and is paired to a short-ratio eight-speed Direct Shift-8AT and electronically controlled full-time all-wheel drive. This model is capable of accelerating to 100km/h in 7,6 seconds while using an average of 8,7 litres per 100km.
Inside the driver-centred cockpit focuses on giving the driver direct, intuitive control of the vehicle. This was achieved by optimising SUV fundamentals such as the centre of gravity, weight reduction, rigidity and powertrain to create a more natural dialogue between the car and the driver and results in the car shrinking around the driver by providing a nimble, agile driving experience. The improved handling is made possible by the use of the Lexus GA-K platform which offers excellent body rigidity and a low centre of gravity.
The interior expresses luxury through simplicity with a less is more approach which prioritises a cool, contemporary look featuring clean, uncluttered surfaces. The large 14-inch touchscreen and provision of physical buttons for frequently used functions helps minimise driver head movement.
Creature comforts include three-zone air conditioning, a 21-speaker Mark Levinson audio system, wireless charger, illuminated entry, heads up display as well as seat heating and ventilation. Cargo volume is 612 litres with the rear seats in place.
The RX benefits from the third-generation Lexus Safety System+, with an improved Pre-Crash System. It is also available with Lexus’ Safe Exit Assist which prevents doors being opened into the path of vehicles or cyclists approaching from the rear. Elements of the integrated safety technology include Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert and abnormal driver condition response system.
The Adaptive Variable Suspension featured across the range provides independent damping control at each wheel, contributing to a more comfortable ride on uneven surfaces, higher damping force when turning and flat ride stability and is customisable with Normal and Sport modes.

A substantial 108.4 kWh battery capacity grants an estimated range of up to 616km. This power supply is paired to 4Matic all-wheel drive and an intelligent off-road driving mode.
The EQS SUV offers several variants of energy recovery by means of regeneration. The driver can manually select the deceleration in three levels including D+ (sailing). D (standard regeneration) and D- (enhanced regeneration) via paddle shifters behind the steering wheel.
In addition there is D Auto where the Eco assistant offers situation adapted regeneration as it operates in gliding mode or decelerates in such a way that the bottom line is the most efficient and comfortable driving style possible.
The driver is shown in the instrument cluster and if applicable on the head up display when it is advisable to take their foot off the accelerator pedal due to an upcoming event. If the indication is followed, the vehicle is decelerated with the greatest possible energy recovery rate until it comes to a standstill if there is another vehicle ahead, for example. This is literally one pedal driving as the driver does not need to operate the brake pedal for this.
