OT - Car Buying Advice.

Sat Aug 11, 2018 6:42 am

I know we have more important things going on today but anyone got any tips on buying second hand cars?

Sadly you lot are my only friends so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking to change two cars and firstly wanted to know if that's a stronger position when part exchanging or will a dealer see it as just a further headache.

Any other help bring it on.

Best advice is to take the bus or train; cars are so expensive to run these days :lol: Seriously, you get better value if you sell your car privately first then buy with cash.

I have used Motorpoint at Newport for my last three purchases they have been excellent and I can’t seem to beat them on price and service.

Cheers guys.

Would love to public transport it to work, actually would love to walk to work or better still work at home :lol:

Takes me 45mins by car to work or 2hrs by buses and trains.
