Just finished a mobi version of SA Dealers, has limited functionality but all dealers are listed there.
Was done in Seagull v1.0, and has much of the functionality removed as its not needed on a simple site such as that.
Check it out at mobi.sadealers.co.za and let me know what you think!

I have had to, unfortunately add even more limitations on the ad creation process on www.sellstuff.co.za. This was due to the amount of spam/fake ads that were being created every day.
I have been logging in a few times a day to disable the user accounts and remove the ads, but I do sometimes miss one or two. If you spot an ad that looks suspicious please let me know, I remove suspicious ads as soon as I see them/get notified of them.
Also I think it is quite obvious that not everyone placing free ads is legitimate, so please be vigilant, not only on www.sellstuff.co.za but on ANY classifieds site you visit.
I am working hard to keep the classifieds clean and free from the trash that seems to afflict so many other classifieds sites so I do really appreciate it when people let me know about dodgy ads!
Here’s hoping you browse safely…

The task and process of buying used motorcycles is not very different to that of purchasing used cars. So, some of the aspects that need consideration are:
a) The kind of bike that would suit your purpose
b) Finding used ones at the right place,
c) Inspecting them and taking a test drive, as well as the right title – along with documents.
The above aspects are common to both used cars and used motorcycles. Let us look at them in greater detail.
The type of bike depends on where you plan to take the bike for a ride. If it is a long one, then a touring type of bike is the best option. If you plan to zoom down the highway, then a superbike would be the best choice. However, if you only plan to use it for normal day to day use, then the standard type of motor cycle with its flexibility should fit the bill.
Coming to the aspect of finding the best used motorcycles, the internet (along with local papers or circulars like Auto Trader) is ideal. The internet by far has emerged as the preferred medium of advertisement for both buyers and sellers of products and given its fantastic reach;, you should definitely make the maximum use of it. Craigslist is one site where you can source what you want, and so is eBay.
The advantage of purchasing something from within your city is that you can avoid heavy transportation costs. So go about your search with that point in mind and having identified the bikes you are interested in, you can establish contact through phone or email in order to proceed further.
The process of inspection is an elaborate one. Ensure that you carry along a good flashlight so that you can check out the exterior of the bike to your satisfaction. Observe how the bike behaves when you actually sit on it. Check if the bike has been involved in any accidents and you can make that out by the external condition of the bike. Do check for any punctures near the bolts as well as the condition of the cables, nozzles and the engine. You will be able to check for any rusting of the parts only with the flashlight. The condition of the seat covers and exhaust pressure are other things you must not forget to inspect.
Now for tbud how it squeezed, any leaks when the bike is in running, any sounds that are not normal and so on.
Finally, the title to the bike along with relevant documents needs to be scrutinised. You should also verify the service records to understand when was the last occasion the bike was serviced.
