Huge selection of cars http://www.cargiant.co.uk/ Anything with no mileage is 100K + Im told. http://www.eastcoastsalvage.co.uk/default.aspx Should I somehow find a local mechanic and bring him with me for the day? or Get the AA or similar to do it?

The idea is to go there (London) and kick a few tires.

Firstly and most importantly get a HPI check done on any car that may interest you.Then if you are happy with this bring a mechanic or somebody who knows a little about cars with you

as far as i know, the RAC offer full checks on cars over there.

make sure there is a service history and do some netsearch into the garages that stamped it whilst servicing.

from talking to some traders, fellas are actually just buying stamps and forging the books now as well. but more so people who import them.
