    As always service history and run a car history check. For that budget and the high demand from the chapppppe taxxxxx mob your unlikely to get a very good one for that price, it will be full of lemons. If it's a UK import which lots of cars in this class will be it's a good idea to initially before you view the car run the UK reg through the MOT website to see its previous mileage during the MOT test.
