  • Thanks all, I think I'll stick with a dealer for now with a proper approved warranty...

    Depends on the car, never bought from a dealer, only dealer bought car in the family has been a disaster, warranty valueless.

    Buying private, buy the seller not the car. If you get a good feel about the seller thats a good starting point.
