What to do before you buy a used car?

Decide which car suits you and your daily needs. Once you know what type of car is best for you, it's time to browse our online range of used vehicles. Here are some things to keep in mind when inspecting a second-hand car:

  • Vehicle history: We offer an extensive vehicle history, so you are informed of what you are spending your money on.

  • Inspection: Take a close-up look at the car and keys. It’s an opportunity for you to check whether the car meets your expectations, giving you peace of mind or re-evaluating.

  • Test drive: Our team is here to prepare the vehicle for your test drive, where they can give you all the information you need while taking it for a drive familiarising yourself with its features.

  • Price included: Check that everything listed on the sales documents is included. The important thing to note is the vehicle handbook that includes everything you will need to know about this vehicle and is required to have with you. Most of the time, a spare key will be included so double check you have that too.
