If you buy a used one, then there is a risk that it was sold by someone who knew that it had expensive repairs looming. To limit the amount of time and money that you spend on a car, you should start by ...

Buying a second hand car isn’t a great deal different to buying a new one so I do not propose to bore the reader by repeating what I wrote in my “Buy Me I’m New” review on buying a new car. All that I wrote in that review holds good for second hand cars but there are additional points to ponder in the second hand ...

To all of you considering buying a car this year. stop and think. Unless you have money to throw away, buying new is a waste of time.
