Deal now done......many thanks for all the suggestions
For most of my working life I was fortunate enough to have new cars. Since retiring I have had newish cars.
My grandson has roped me into going with him to view an older car.........it will be his first one
Situation is...........
He asked me last night to go tomorrow..........no pressure there then
Car is from a established but small dealer (googled it and it seems to have good reports)
Car is a Hyundai i10 on a 60 plate......petrol & manual
Mileage is good............less than 30K
I think its claimed a one owner (will check that).
It is claimed to have a full service history (I will check that)
So................
Are there any obvious signs I need to look out for.
If its an established dealer is PPI an issue ?
What I need are some tips as to ........how do I check clutch wear/gear box etc..........ANYTHING like that.
Out of interest dealer is asking £2,900.00.
I believe the days of dealer having £100s to haggle with have gone...........is that true?
Thanks
