So, where'd you buy your car?

Captain Slow IRL

I'm on about your main car that you are driving right now. If you have a second or third car, post details.

Myself, 2nd hand from a private seller. I'm in the fortunate position that I know what I'm looking at and don't need a garage warranty to make me feel any safer. (and i'm a skinflint!:D)

I've always bought 2nd hand cars, mainly due to financial reasons. I can't ever see myself buying a brand new car.

I bought my Integra second hand from a main Honda dealer.

At the time I couldn't find a red uk spec for a better price or in a better condition, it had been brought in from the UK and traded into the Honda garage.

It came with 3 different checks on the car and its uk history when being imported in and a full Honda service history.

I was lucky in that the dealer knew someone that wanted the car I was trading in, so I got a great deal, much better than I had been trying to get by selling private

I bought my Integra second hand from a main Honda dealer. They had originally sold the integra from new 8 years previously, and the 3 owners of it traded it back into the same garage. It had a service history and was absolutely mint. My family also know the owners of the garage had been buying cars there for about 10 or 12 years so I was looked after

Bought my car from work so it's ex. fleet.

1 owner, full main dealer service history, full record of anything that's been done to the car (tax, tyres etc.), verified mileage and knowledge of the previous owner (she went for a Passat 1.9Tdi Highline as her next car).
