Never rush into buying a used car.

You need to start with a list of cars you would like and then start finding car sales and used car dealers.

As the new owner of a used car you should enquire as to the costs for repairs and availability of spare parts.

Always remember that when you are buying a used car you should read through the sales documentation carefully.

Have a good look at the Registration and Documentation for the car.

The appearance of the used car.

Start up the engine.

The bodywork - inspect the used car before you buy!

Look for accident damage.
Check the upholstery and interior of the car.

Performance and the engine

Gearbox and clutch

Brakes and suspension

Radiator and cooling system

General, steering and tires

Finally, if you're anything like me and what you now about cars and engines could be very dangerous, find a trusted mechanic or friend that can check out all the basics for you before you buy.
