WeBuyCars has bought the TicketPro Dome in Northgate, Johannesburg, from the Sasol Pension Fund, and plans to turn it into one of the biggest used car dealerships in the world. WeBuyCars CEO Faan van der Walt points out that The Dome was originally intended to be a permanent motor showroom, allowing people to view and test drive a variety of vehicle brands under one roof. Van der Walt says WeBuyCars is now able to finally realise the original vision that was held for The Dome and develop it into a large used car dealership. WeBuyCars, the biggest car-buying service in the country, was founded in 2001 by brothers Faan and Dirk van der Walt. Faan van der Walt used the money he saved from working as a teacher in the UK as the initial capital investment to launch the company.
