Second-hand car toolkit

When buying a second-hand car it can be hard to know where to start and there are risks if you don’t do background checks and research before you buy.  Many of us worry that we don’t really know what we are buying or we may not know the right questions to ask.  But you don’t need to be an expert! Our step-by-step guide tells you what to look out for when buying a second hand car. 

Remember the decision you make will have an effect on your pocket long after you drive home!

1. Know your budget - how much can you afford to spend?
2. Don't let extra costs put a spanner in the works!
3. Getting the right car for you
4. Buying - private seller or dealer?
5. Your rights if things go wrong
