Tips on Buying Cars: Buying a car, mileage restrictions, independent mechanic


Question
Thinking of buying a 2nd hand car.Rather than go to dealers(I don't like haggling) I belong to the Civil service motoring assoc.They provide a service to help,buy all types of cars.Do you think I should take advantage of the service.Many thanks

Answer
Hi Mike
If you dont like haggling then CSMA looks a good choice, however before you make that final decision you must do a little homework and compare prices to assure valid value...
I note CSMA has a 7 day money back guarantee, providing there is no catch it almost sounds to good to be true, make sure you read all the fine print,there has to be mileage restrictions or perhaps some service charge should you return vehicle ?
Upon delivery or prior i would arrange an independent mechanic inspection, its well worth the few bucks...
Good Luck

PS...I would be very interested to recive a copy of contract re the 7 day money back guarantee...
