Buying a new or used car can be a tricky minefield to navigate if you're not aware of what you should be looking out for. How do you know if the used car you're buying is HPI clear? (Do you know what HPI is and why it is important to your car purchase?) Do you understand what mechanical issues you need to ask about when buying a used car? Do you know what warranties and guarantees you receive when buying from an approved used car dealer as opposed to an independent garage or private seller?

Our Lookers Car Guides are here to help you prepare yourself before making that purchase.
