Megane - Looking for a second hand car - shawsy911

Hey guys,

Any advice for the best place to look for a good second hand car? I'm trying to be economical, wanting something good value for money but not sure where to start looking! Preferably I'd like a Megane. I've been told Gumtree.com or Carhoots.com, but want to compare, where would you reccommend? How can I tell if its realiable or not?

Thanks,

Lewis

Hi,
Auto trader or e bay and private sellers offer the lowest prices ,if you want a nearly new car, car supermarkets are often the best choice and best price .

The first thing to decide is how much to spend ,then what do you need from a car ,how big ,how economical ,how many miles a year will you drive .how much will it cost to tax and insure .if you have a part exchange do you want to sell it privately or part exchange it .

After you have decided all the practical issues ,it's down to personal choice ,ford ,Renault vw etc ,there are not many really bad cars made these days .

Finally , never buy a used car without an HPI report ,make sure that the report you buy or the dealer provides includes a finance check .
