Hello everyone,

I am looking for a second hand car (it will be my very first one). I wanted to know if any of you have some advices? Like a good dealer, what I absolutely need to check before buying, and any car insurance that won't be too expensive. (fyi, I have my driving license since 3 years now).

Thanks a lot for your time!

the very informative people over at the motors forum will help you out with tips on buying a second hand car.
In relation to finding a good dealer, not sure how much you want to believe from strangers here but one thing would be to make sure the dealer is a member of SIMI, in that way you may have extra comeback if something should go wrong.

I wouldn't be at all impressed by Simi membership, the worst garages in the country are affiliated with Simi. Judge a car on the car.

John Dunne Turners Cross seems to be a good guy to deal with. (no connection).
