Brian,

My suggestion buy a second hand car on gumtree, leasing here is extremely expensive and is not worth all the paperwork, I tried and gave up!

What type of car are you looking for? My Dutch friends are going back to Holland and they might be interested in selling one of the cars...let me know I might get you a good deal.

Cheers!

I've gotten this question quite often on my blog, and for some reason I just don't think leasing is very popular in South Africa. Most people seem to buy their cars. A good way to see what's for sale might be to tap into a heavily expat community, like Dainfern, and get a hold of their newsletter with classifieds, to see if anyone moving away is selling their cars. An estate agent might be able to send you a copy of that newsletter... Good luck, and sorry I can't be of more help re car leasing.
