4 Fantastic Facts about Cars

Here are some fun facts about cars and auto spares that you might not know.

  • Cars Are Made Up of Thousands of Parts: The average car is made up of 30 000 parts. When you crunch the numbers, it makes sense that these parts might need replacing from time to time, and it is kind of amazing that our vehicles do not break down more often. Knowing who to call when an auto part needs replacing is imperative if you want to get back on the road fast. When it comes to A.S.A.P. Spares, we will ensure that all necessary parts are easily accessible and up to industry standards. If we do not have a particular part at hand or in our scrapyard, we will reach out to our vast network and do our best to find you the best auto spares.
  • Over 70 Million New Cars are Produced Annually: Yep, you read that correctly. A whopping 78 million cars were built in 2020, or about 213 698 a day if we want to get technical. The new car industry is thriving. To date, the Toyota Corolla is the most produced vehicle, with over 43 million sold globally. This is followed very closely by Ford’s F-series, with over 40 million cars having been manufactured. Luckily, with so many of these vehicles on the road, auto spares can be easy to find.
  • The Second-Hand Market is Booming Too: Just because new cars are being manufactured, it does not mean that the second-hand market is missing out. In fact, it continues to boom in the South African market. AutoTrader’s 2020 Car Report noted that the most popular second-hand car was the Ford Ranger, followed very closely by the Volkswagen Polo. Luckily, this means that there are loads of second-hand spares floating around and these keep servicing costs down when you need a repair.
  • Cars Can Crank Super High Mileages: Choosing a reputable vehicle can ensure that you get to enjoy your cars for many years ahead. Some vehicles are able to clock incredible mileage, with one car clocking an incredible 2,85 million miles. If we break that down into a visual, that is the same as someone driving around planet Earth 100 times. We are guessing that the car needed some premium spare parts from time to time.
