Buying a used car in Aberdeen

Thanks for all the help guys, the MOT and Tax expires at the end of March I think for the old car so we have a few weeks to have a look around before deciding what to get without having to re-tax and MOT this one.

Cottage cars in Dyce are very good, although they specialise in the more prestige side. After sales service was good too.

Evans halshaw Renault on the Lang stracht are awfull. I viewed a car, 3 years old. I asked what sort of service history it had. The salesman pulled the service book out and said "it has never been serviced". When i asked if he would knock some money of in that case and he said "we never negotiate on prices". I feel sorry for whoever bought that car. It was only 3 years old and the engine felt dead on the test drive

Thats quite a few people saying to stay away from Evans Halshaw so looks like I'll be giving them a miss.

Cars are certainly cheaper in say Glasgow. However is it worth the hassle? The more expensive the car, the more you might save. On a 3 year old Corsa, I doubt you would save much.
