Friends will insist auctions are much cheaper, but they require specialist knowledge and the chances of buying a duffer are far higher. In any desirable model, you want to find: Low mileage Few owners Full dealer service history As many extras as possible Good colour (metallic) and interior spec Buying privately and from a sole trader: The best places to begin looking are the Auto Trader website, the local Auto Trader magazine and the local free ads paper. Once you've selected the car you want to view, use your price guide and fix a price you're willing to pay. Then make your call and ask about the car for sale. If the voice at the other end asks which one, you're probably talking to a trader (all trade adverts will state TRADE or have a T in the wording somewhere). Politely end your enquiry then and there if that's the case. If the vendor is genuine: Ask how long he / she has owned the vehicle. Don't discuss a price at this stage: clarify whether the car has ever been damaged. If it has, ask when and the extent of the repairs made. Walk away from anything that's been crunched. Ask if it's been modified (if so, walk away). If there're no modifications, ask how long the road tax has left to run before expiry. If you're happy, arrange to see the vehicle in daylight. Ask for the engine to be cold when you arrive. Buying from a dealer / supermarket: A much simpler exercise. Simply roll up, look over the selection and then choose the car you like. You should still check the car's history. Also, check the prices against a rival to make sure they're not too high. back more halfordscompany.com | terms of use | terms & conditions of sale | privacy … Electric Bicycles UK • Falcon Bikes • Halford's • Raleigh • Bromley Bikes • Used Bicycles UK • Moulton Bikes • Klein Bikes • Univega • Halfords Leeds • Univega • Ellsworth Bikes • History Of Bikes • Exercise Bikes • Mountain Bikes In The UK • Boys Bikes • Childs Bicycles • Halfords Online • Diamond Back Bikes • Megamo Bikes • Titanium Bicycles • Bikes And Bits • Gazelle Bicycles • Mountain Bike UK • Halfords Service •
