Buying a used car can be a difficult decision. Do you go to a main dealer, a second hand car dealer, or do you risk buying privately? Finding a quality second hand car in Macclesfield doesn’t have to be difficult. We’ve curated a list of some top tips on what to look out for when you’re buying your next second hand car.
Cars with a full service history can be a better option than those with part history or no history at all. The service history shows that a car has been looked after and maintained to the manufacturer guidelines. When checking the service book, look to see if the vehicle has been serviced in line with the manufacturer recommendations for both the type of service and the intervals.
When you’re looking at a car with the intention of buying it, it’s always good to check the invoices for any work that’s been completed. If the seller is telling you that brakes, belts, plugs or anything else has had work done, ask to see the invoices. You can also check the invoices to see if the parts used are manufacturer parts or aftermarket. Some aftermarket parts are absolutely fine to use on a vehicle, but it’s always best to use genuine parts when possible.
