Thinking of buying your first car? You aren’t alone! On this episode of Drive with Thando, brought to you by Naked, we’re joined by Kumbi M to unpack the booming world of pre-owned vehicles.

With Naked’s latest data showing that 3 out of every 4 first-time insurance buyers are opting for second-hand wheels, it’s more important than ever to know what you’re getting into. Kumbi M shares his personal "war stories" and expert insights on why checking a car’s mileage is just the beginning. We dive into the importance of a car’s "digital footprint," how to navigate insurance implications, and the secret tricks to spotting hidden damage or a "rebuilt" car that looks a little too good to be true. Whether you’re a seasoned driver or a first-timer, this is the essential toolkit for making a smart, safe, and savvy purchase.
