If you're in the market for a bakkie to help mobilize your new or current business in this time where delivery has become a crucial type of service, making the right decision can mean the difference between a worthy investment and failure. Today we look at and compare the Nissan NP200 with the Toyota Hilux, to help you find the best used bakkie for sale.

Size

On the surface, there are some very obvious differences between the two, size being the first thing you'd notice. The NP200 seems like a toy next to its much larger opponent, but don't underestimate this little utility vehicle's capabilities or uses.

Price

It should come as no surprise that the NP200 is significantly cheaper than the Hilux. Second-hand models from the past two or three years range in the region of R130 000, while Hilux models range in price but average around the R300 000 to R450 000 mark for more recent models.

Fuel Consumption

Again, smaller beats bigger when it comes to how much you'll have to fork out for petrol. The NP200 will get you an average of 10.31km per litre at 8.1 litres per 100km, while the average for a petrol Hilux is 11 litres per 100km and diesel models come in around 7.7 to 8.2 liters per 100km.

Resale Value

Both these bakkies rank at the top for best resale value in their category bracket. NP200 models are always in demand with consumers looking for a practical, low-cost transport vehicle, while the Hilux is an extremely popular bakkie and is always highly sought after. Whichever of the two you choose, in this case, they strike fairly even.

Uses

Out of all the factors when deciding between these two models, what you intend to use it for should be the biggest deciding factor. If you're running a small delivery business or just need a vehicle to get rid of garden refuse and do occasional moving, the NP200 will serve you perfectly and you won't need anything bigger. As a small business delivery vehicle, there is ample room for storage of goods and, with the addition of a canopy, you'll need nothing more. If you're looking to go hitting mountain trails on the weekends or need a vehicle to do some really heavy towing, the Hilux is by far your best bet.

While both are practical vehicles, finding the best used bakkie for sale depends very much on your needs and budget. We have a great range of both these models available, so be sure to check our website often to find your perfect match.
