The Keller Williams office in Somerset West.
New concept in marketing your home WALTER BAKKER “The man who stops advertising to save money is like the man who stops the clock to save time.” With these words Henry Ford forever changed perceptions about marketing. Early in the 20th century this thinking of his made the Ford Motor Company one of the most successful businesses in the world. Americans have since then been at the cutting edge of innovative thinking and marketing and Keller Williams, the largest real estate company in
North America, continues this tradition in South Africa. Many of South Africa’s top agents, who come with a wealth of experience in the local property market, have joined the company and younger folk wanting to make realty their careers are opting to learn from the best and are signing up for the company’s much lauded internship programmes. In recent years, the company’s global division has announced franchise agreements in Austria, Germany, Indonesia, South Africa, Switzerland, Turkey and Vietnam. To that list can now also be added the United Kingdom.
“Around the globe, entrepreneurs, brokers and agents are looking for and asking for what we have to offer” said worldwide president Chris Heller. “They crave our models, systems, training and technology and because Keller Williams can offer all of those at a level they have never seen before, we are attracting tremendous talent and gaining momentum everywhere.” The Keller Williams Somerset West office brings all this together into one hot spot of creativity and marketing expertise. With state of the art technology and systems available to the agents, and by ex-
tension to their clients, the wonderful world of realty will never be the same again. Selling a big ticket item like a house is a many faceted undertaking. It involves communication abilities of the highest order, financial know-how, honed marketing senses and, just to keep it interesting, one can also throw into that mix excellent photography and some writing skills. Then perhaps one has a “good” agent. With the “Ignite” training programme Keller Williams agents are at the client’s service armed with all the above, says Heller.
Interesting statistics for the United States are that 48% of buyers and 64% of sellers found their agent through a referral or personal contact with a friend, neighbour or relative. 64% of buyers and 66% of sellers only contacted one agent before deciding who to work for. Thus Keller Williams believes that though the KW name is an asset to what is effectively the agent’s own business, they also recognise the need for the agent to customise and localise his/her marketing approach. Keller Williams’ approach is: “We stand behind our agents, not in front of them”.
HELDERBERG 2 Districtmail Property owners – know your property value 17 Julie, 2014
For most of us, our property is one of our biggest financial assets. We’ve ploughed our cash into this investment. We’ve financed it and signed surety after surety with the banks – guaranteeing it with our very lives. Property has been proven to be an excellent medium to long-term investment vehicle. It’s a forced way of saving. Over time our debt with the bank reduces, and our asset increases in value. That being the case, it would be prudent for every property owner to regularly check on the current market value of their property. Why? One obvious reason is that you need to make sure your property is correctly in-
sured. For this purpose it is good to know the market value, but also the replacement cost. Important to note here is that the two values will most likely differ. Market value will represent the price a buyer will pay today for your property if it was on the market. Replacement cost is what it would cost to replace the improvements on the land – the buildings, walls, driveways and paving, swimming pool and garden, etc. Your insurer could assist you with a replacement cost assessment. There is no need to insure the land as well. When it comes to the market value though, an estate agent with good local market knowl-

Mount Nelson to be re-furbished and redesigned
These luxury items that once graced the Mount Nelson Hotel will be auctioned off.
The iconic Mount Nelson Hotel in Cape Town is undergoing a refurbishment and Alf Duncan Auctioneers have been favoured with instructions to dispose of the beautiful furniture and fittings that are being replaced. Stunning mahogany palatial styled 4-poster beds from the garden cottages are a highlight of this sale, together with mahogany drum top dining tables, dining chairs, leather inlaid desks, arm chairs and sofas. The sale will also be supplemented with antiques, fine furniture and art works from various private sellers. Notably, a 19th Century Cape stinkwood “rusbank” originally from Draaifontein farm in Zastron, Orange Free State will be going under the hammer. The owner recalls
his grandmother telling him that she and his grandfather were sitting on the very same bench on their verandah when they were told that the Anglo-Boer War had broken out. The piece is being sold on behalf of the heir who resides abroad and originally the property of his great grandfather, who was on the board of directors of one of the first South African Blue Chip companies. Other pieces include oregon dressers, oak and teak wardrobes, kists, a “koskas”, dining room suites, etc. Also featuring on the sale is art by Shany
van den Berg, Don Benzien and Catherine Christie, together with jewellery and watches, collectables, Persian and Kelim carpets. “To have secured the sale of the movables from the renowned Mount Nelson Hotel is certainly a point of pride for us but to have rare and spectacular pieces supplementing the auction too, makes it that

Ford unveils poised new Focus ST QUICKPIC
The most advanced Focus ST yet offers new chassis control technologies, tuned suspension, steering and a bespoke tyre specification that ensure a more poised, responsive and refined driving experience. The 184 kW 2,0-litre EcoBoost delivers 0-100 km/h in 6,5 seconds, fuel efficiency of 6,8 F/100 km and 158 g/ km CO2. For the first time AutoStart-Stop is offered in an ST, improving fuel efficiency by six percent and making it the most fuel-efficient petrol Focus ST ever. Ford’s 2,0-litre EcoBoost engine uses turbocharging, twin-independent variable cam timing technology, and high-pressure direct fuel-injection to deliver uncompromising performance. Peak power is available at 5 500 r/min; 360 Nm of torque is available from 2 000–4 500 r/min and maximum speed is 248 km/h. The six-speed manual transmission offers a performance-oriented, short-throw shift. The gear ratios – exclusive to ST – deliver rapid acceleration in lower gears and comfortable cruising at speed. “The new Focus ST delivers an even more sophisticated balance of performance, driving dynamics, refinement and style – the core of Ford’s Sports Technologies DNA,” said Joe Bakaj, vice-president, Product Development, Ford of Europe. The Focus ST also will benefit from technology and craftsmanship first revealed earlier this year for the new Ford Focus – the world’s best-selling global nameplate.** The sporty and aggressive new five-door model will offer class-leading driver assistance technologies and connectivity features including the SYNC 2 in-car connectivity system.

The F-Type R Coupé represents the pinnacle of Jaguar’s R Performance range – its power, performance and immediacy of response will reward the most enthusiastic drivers. Most importantly the chassis has been engineered to provide exploitable handling that inspires confidence. PHOTO: MOTORPRESS
Jaguar F-Type Coupé leaps into SA showrooms MOTORPRESS The all-aluminium F-Type Coupé – the most dynamically capable, performancefocused sports car that Jaguar has ever produced – is now in South African Jaguar showrooms, with three versions on offer: F-Type R, F-Type S and the F-Type. “The introduction of the Jaguar F-Type Coupé completes the process started here just under a year ago when we launched the FType Convertible, and with both open and closed versions of this dynamic two-seater now on offer, we are poised to dominate the sports car market in South Africa,” said Kevin Flynn, managing director of Jaguar Land Rover South Africa and sub-Sahara Africa. “The convertible is already the best-selling open sports car in the country, and we expect the Coupé to have broader appeal and will outsell convertible by about two to one. It is more hard-core than its open-top sibling, while the V8R flagship represents the zenith of our philosophy of making innovative, seductive performance cars. ” The range-topping F-Type R Coupé is powered by Jaguar’s 5.0 F supercharged V8 engine in 405 kW/680 Nm tune, delivering acceleration to 100 km/h in 4,2 seconds, and a top speed of 300 km/h (electronically limited). The F-Type S Coupé and F-Type Coupé are powered by Jaguar’s 3.0F V6 supercharged petrol engines in 280 kW/460 Nm and 250 kW/450 Nm forms respectively, giving 0100 km/h in 4,9/5,3 seconds and top speeds of 280/260 km/h. The F-Type Coupé embodies the uncompromised design vision of the stunning Jaguar C-X16 concept sports coupé that debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, its dramatic cabin-rearward stance being defined by three heartlines. The first two heartlines – shared with F-Type Convertible – form the muscular front and rear wings, the third heartline being the sweeping Coupé roof profile which provides an unbroken silhouette while emphasising the visual drama of the tapered cabin sitting between powerful rear haunches.
Jaguar’s expertise in aluminium technology has enabled the design vision for the FType Coupé to be delivered in a lightweight yet extremely strong bodyshell. Torsional rigidity for all F-Type Coupé variants is 33 000 Nm/degree – greater than in any previous production Jaguar – this rigidity providing the basis for excellent dynamic attributes. The F-Type Coupé’s body side is made from a single piece aluminium pressing, probably the most extreme cold-formed aluminium body side in the automotive industry, eliminating the requirement for multiple panels and cosmetic joints. A deployable rear spoiler sits within the tapered shut-line of the F-Type Coupé, while slim, wrap-around LED lamps flank a beautifully engineered tailgate, with optional powered open/close functionality. To deliver assured, progressive handling in line with its 405 kW output, the range-topping F-Type R Coupé features a bespoke suspension set-up and new dynamic technologies. Sports suspension with Adaptive Dynamics damping and Configurable Dynamic Mode further enhance the F-Type R’s immediacy of response, providing an exhilarating and involving driving experience. Every F-Type Coupé model utilises Jaguar’s eight-speed close-ratio Quickshift transmission which is optimised for sporting performance, with full manual sequential control from the central SportShift selector or steering wheel-mounted paddles. The F-Type Coupé range complements the existing three-car F-Type Convertible model line-up; the V6-engined F-Type (250 kW) and F-Type S (280 kW), and the 364 kW F-Type V8 S. “With F-Type Coupé, the Jaguar engineering team has exceeded our considerable target of building a car that delivers even more driver reward than the acclaimed F-Type Convertible. Engineering an exceptionally rigid all-aluminium Coupé body structure was the key to achieving this, as it’s the fundamental basis for enhanced dynamic attributes. The result is that the F-Type Coupé is the most dynamically capable and involving Jaguar we’ve ever built.”

Botterill en sy navigator, Simon Vacy-Lyle, het die voortou vroeg op Dag 1 ingeneem. Botterill/Vacy-Lyle het Saterdag met ’n kragtige poging vorendag gekom en die gaping agter Chad van Beurden en Nico Swartz begin aanval. Botterill was teen die voorlaaste sneltrajek nog 18 sekondes agter Van Beurden, maar het die laaste grondsneltrajek voor die laaste en baie kort teersneltrajek met mening aangedurf. Die gevolg was een van die mees indrukwekkende sneltrajek-oorwinnings in die geskiedenis van Klas S1 600, aangesien Botterill ’n hele 26,3 sekondes van Van Beurden
se tyd – en die klasoorwinning – afgerokkel het. Hy het ook ’n baie kredietwaardige vyfde op die algehele punteleer geëindig. Dit was Botterill en Vacy-Lyle se vierde agtereenvolgende oorwinning, wat nie net sy status as tydrenjaer beklemtoon nie, maar ook die betroubaarheid van sy plaaslik geboude Toyota Etios R2. Botterill se jongste oorwinning plaas hom gerieflik voor in die kampioenskap, met sy naaste mededinger meer as 40 punte agter hom.

Honda Accord: the secret manners 021 870 4601
HANJO STIER 021 312 3717
Usually I wouldn’t be this generous on a Thursday morning but you find me in a particularly good mood so I’ll let you into an insider’s tip. One of the best kept secrets of the industry and a car which almost every motoring journalist raves about – yours truly included – is the Honda Accord. As of now, there is a bit of a problem though. You see, Honda South Africa only brought the seventh and eighth generation of the Accord to our shores in January 2003 and June 2008, but this wasn’t the mainstream model which
took over America and the world with almost 20 million sales to date. What we got instead was their “Euro” model, an edgier version for markets with refined tastes. Hell, we even crowned it car of the year in 2009. Having sold roughly 8 300 units since 2003, Honda South Africa announced that its sporty merits didn’t garner the popularity they’d hope for – so the mainstream model has now replaced it. The range of engines at launch is all petrols: a 2-litre 4 cylinder iVtec (114 kW, 190 Nm), a 2.4-litre 4 cylinder iVtec (132 kW, 225 Nm) and a 3.5-litre V6 iVtec (207 kW, 339 Nm). The 2.4 motor may sound familiar from old Accord but it’s in fact a whole new engine; new block, new internals, better efficiency. It may be down on power when compared to its father, but it’s more sophisticated; power is spread through a wider rev range, there’s less screaming and it’s not as thirsty. The big vee six has full valve management and selective cylinder shut-off to save fuel, running on three, four or six cylinders. All new Accords are only available with automatic gearboxes and, as before, front wheel drive.
The V6 gets an extra cog over the four cylinder’s five speeds and Honda has also blessed it with active engine mounts to counter those naughty vibrations which are so inherent to a vee motor. Honda South Africa sells Accord as three models with escalating levels of trim. The 2.0 Elegance costs R389 000, a 2.4 Executive is R449 000 and the 3.5 V6 Exclusive will set you back almost R550 000. “For a HONDA!?!” whines someone on Facebook. Yes, for a Honda with a V6 engine and bucket-loads of toys. The bigger ones – whose prices seem to steep – will also spoil you with keyless entry and start, adaptive cruise control, lane assist with camera, collision mitigation, active LED headlights with cornering function and high beam assist, shift paddles, a subwoofer, sunroof and rear sun blind. More importantly, the new Accord has more room than its predecessor, which should help it to win the minds of D-segment luxury sedan buyers. An estimated 80-85% of this pie is gobbled up by the perennial German trio but a Honda exec noted that “Accord owners don’t crave status and appreciate the car’s engineering.” I certainly think so.
Its appearance, dimensions and performance are more streamlined and generous, while its manners are less sporty but more comfy. PHOTO: QUICKPIC

AUTO 20 Mitsubishi hits supermini spot with frugal Mirage Donderdag
17 Julie, 2014
QUICKPIC As part of an expanding footprint in South Africa, Mitsubishi Motors is gearing up for the debut of the all-new Mitsubishi Mirage in August 2014. Poised to take the fight to competitors in the budget and youth-focused A-segment, the stylish new entrylevel 5-door Japanese hatchback prides itself on providing fuel efficient, enjoyable motoring with particularly youthful appeal. A new three-model range will arrive with trusted Mitsubishi integ-
rity, reliability and practicality as well as exceptional fuel efficiency and safety. The superbly compact proportions envelop a spacious and manoeuvrable vehicle, which is an ideal everyday runabout. “Mitsubishi is renowned all over the world as one of Japan’s foremost automotive brands and we are on a resurgence in the South African market,” comments Wynand Pretorius, general manager at Mitsubishi Motors South Africa. All new Mirage derivatives will be powered by Mitsubishi’s 1,2-litre, 3-cylinder MIVEC DOHC petrol engine, mated to a 5-speed manual
transmission. Easily able to keep up with the hustle and bustle of busy city streets as well as the open roads so characteristic of South Africa, the Mirage is also highly fuel- efficient thanks to MIVEC– Mitsubishi Innovative Valve-timing Electronic Control. Average fuel economy on the combined cycle is just 4,9 litres per 100 km, allowing Mirage to punch above its weight on the fuel efficiency front. In fact, Mirage is acclaimed as the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid petrol vehicle available in the United States, a market where it is also cited as the lightest 5-door, 5-
passenger vehicle. This was achieved after an extensive weightsaving engineering process with key benefits linked directly to enhanced fuel efficiency. Impressive too is that Mirage is fitted as standard with creature comforts like keyless entry and a full complement of safety equipment including ABS, EBD and dual airbags. The new Mitsubishi Mirage will be backed by Mitsubishi Motors’ comprehensive 3-year/ 100 000 km warranty. Full range details and pricing will be announced at launch.
