Hi all,
Been a while since I last looked for a secondhand car. Where to look for something specific? Autotrader? ebay?
Any others to browse? would prefer to buy from a dealer as I can p/x and for security.
Cheers!

If its something specific and not mainstream then you look everywhere, every online source every shop window or supermarket noticeboard etc etc.

I buy from whoever has the car that i want in the condition and price that i want to pay.

Whether you buy used or private it's always worth checking the MOT history if the car is old enough to have needed one

Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
