Anybody bought from Davidson Car Sales, Stewartstown - Help Please

Hi, I'm thinking for buying a second hand car and have seen one from Davidson Car Sales, Stewartstown. Just wondering if anyone has bought from them as I am cautious about car sales people. Any experience would be helpful. Thanks

    2nd hand car sales men are all tarred with the same brush :o

    Is this a local company? Have they been in business long?

    Most will offer you a 3 month warranty with a 2nd hand car, you can haggle with some to take it up to 6 months. Get the car checked out with a reliable mechanic after purchase and ask him to list all the faults on the car which the warranty will cover, it could cost you up to £100 for a proper assessment, but it may save you a fortune in the long run.

    I think the AA and RAC do a car check for a few quid.

    In fact just googled the AA and they do a pre purchase vehicle check http://www.theaa.com/motoring-advice/vehicle-inspections.htmlinspection
    I am trying, honest;) very trying according to my dear OH:rotfl:

    Yes. I have. Norman Davidson was the guy.

    Seemed civil enough, price was in the right ball park. Three month warranty.

    No issues with either the car or the sale.
