Some important tips to make your experience of buying
a vehicle as safe for you as possible.
Buying:
|
| |
1 |
CHECK for any existing HP on the vehicle. Less of a problem
with dealers.
RAC
HP check, (online), £5 for one car, £12
for three cars. |
| |
2 |
Avoid, if possible, going to view a car alone. |
| |
3 |
If you have to go alone, you must take a mobile phone with
you and tell someone where you are going and what time you will be back. |
| |
4 |
Never go to view a car in the dark. |
| |
5 |
Never agree to view a car alone if it is in a remote location.
Wait until you can take a friend along with you. |
| |
6 |
Ensure (as best you can) that you take away with you all
of the spare keys belonging to your new Vehicle. |
