I tend to stick to Honda, Suzuki, Toyota or Mazda. Find a well looked after one of these brands and you are less likely to have problems long term.

Unless there is proof of timing belt change or advisory rectifications I demand the garage cost to have work done is deducted from price, I'll then buy said parts and do the work myself (get an even cheaper car). Always wear old clothes, bring some tools and a torch and go to town looking for faults!

Only think I'd add is looking for visual damage, kerbed wheels, dents, any misaligned panels and sign of unrecorded damage. Also test electrical items too like speakers, lights etc etc

At 65 never bought a car from a garage. Never had a bad car. Generally keep cars 6-10 yrs. do all my own diy. In future will be keeping my vehicle sub 2016 due to all the sensors. Currently running 2007 berlingo petrol 17 yrs old. Runs perfectly, rust minimal underneath, zero underneath. Parts readily available. Changed a front wing for £25 after the binmen reversed into it and insurance wanted to write it off. Great advice re the bank especially if travelling a distance and get there and the bank fraud dept block the fee. Maybe I have been lucky with my cars. In the 60s my dad owned a garage and at 60 k the british leyland cars engines were done😂. Rebuilt easily and for not a lot. Now cars will do very big mileages. My VW T4 was sold at 330k and was still running. All 5 of my family cars have over 100k on. All maintained by me and drive perfectly. Mix of brands Citroen, Peugeot, Toyota, Hyundai, Suzuki. Love the channel. My one daughter is in Oz and has bought a car out there, I sent her a check list to do when buying, wish this was out then😂

Top advice! Do you know where we can get information about costs of service, maintenance and parts for used cars? I'm asking because lurking around old forums where posts are older than a car or going to local garage where answer is always "please bring car here and we will see" is not a good option

Find two or three local garages with good feedbacks online or ask friends. Always good to have a few as the good ones are always very busy.

What about buying new versus 2 or 3 years old on PCP? The interest rate is so high on used that it almost works out the same when you factor in warranty & mot costs on used 🤔

I want to buy a used car from FB marketplace but buy/start the insurance policy after 20 days of buying the car. How can I ask it to the seller? Should I bring the car on the same day I purchase to the home or on the day of insurance policy starts?
@ScottishCarClan
@ScottishCarClan 7 ай бұрын
Few options. If you have another car you are the policy holder on it might allow you to drive it home 3rd party if the seller agrees to keep their policy active. Temp insurance cover to get it home. Or take the policy early and cancel it, although this may incur a fee. Personally I’d probably just buy the policy as if you take it home and it’s sitting uninsured anything could happen to it. Damage, stolen etc. good luck!
