Buying a car

Hi, can anyone help?

I'm buying a car second hand to keep the cost down and wondered if there was any particular make or model to buy or if it saves me money maybe buying a new car?

Thank you.

  • 99% of the time buying second hand is the most cost effective, but more information needed to help narrow it down, how much have you to spend, what size car do you need, what mileage do you do, is your driving motorways or around town etc.
