In the market for a new (to me) vehicle... last time I bought used was when Autotrader reigned supreme. Is that still the case or should I go straight to a dealership or even ebay?
No hard and fast rule. My last few vehicles have come from eBay, Autotrader and a local garage.
Helpful, huh?
the pistonheads classifieds is never a bad place to browse.
Thanks Jamie - that's almost a normal answer. The fact that is next to useless lets me know it's a genuine Jamie answer and that maybe you're upping your game?
What came first, TSY, the chicken or the egg?
Your best option is Nick's on the A47. He'll sort you a lovely motor for easy money. Ask for Nick and say Carnage Camo sent you. Ask no questions. 😉
Camo do you know what sort of cars he's got in stock at the minute?
Jamie - Eggs.
On a serious bent, these days you are best of checking all available areas. These will inlclude eBay, Autotrader etc. Most local garages will advertise on one or both.
First thing you need to ask yourself is do you feel lucky punk? The second thing is do you want to buy privately or from a dealer.
Then go from there.
pontefract.. last 3 cars ive bought have all come from there and been brilliant..!
I found all of them on autotrader though 😀
TSW, how's this for a STW outing?
Just arrived on Nick's lot (it's a long lot). One line of careful lady owners.
Particularly suitable for riders of Orange 5s, apparently.

Sorted.

I'm really not sure that any part of that vehicle falls within my Skoda / Audi / Volvo / Campervan STW requirements.
Yeah, but there's a limo bit in the middle, which is like proper style.
And, as Nick says, why pick one colour? This car's got something for everybody.
