Hi,
My sister is looking out for her first car. My boyfr & I disagree on whether she should by private or from a garage. I reckon you have more come back with a garage regardless of the warranty they give you.
For instance, I bought car in April with 3 months warranty. It's up now and touch wood I have no problems, but if something major went within the year I would still have no problem going back to the garage. Would I have a leg to stand on?
Secondly, has anyone had any bad experiences buying private? my sister has seen a 01 mitsubishi colt by private sale and he's looking for 6,000. If we look at the car, are there any things we should keep eye out for and is 6K too much?
All views welcome & thanks in advance.
