Buying a second hand car from a dealer (garage, not privately)
I often read on these threads that people get stitched up buying cars privately and see people saying "you do not get the same level of protection as you would from a dealer" so my questions are: Just what protection do you get buying a car from a dealer? and should you take out the additional warranty they seem to offer?…
