Bearing in mind you usually pay more from a dealer.

nanook, if I braught a new car for 20k, after driving it out of the show room, it would be worth about 13k. Buying a low mileage 2nd hand car does not depreciate as fast. So who is the mad one?

I'm looking for a car at the moment and i keep looking at private ones, as long as you know what to look at i.e if there is any thing wrong with it, you may save some money you don't need to spend, happy car hunting

Hi I'm afraid the expense is yours, not the dealers. Without wanting to state the obvious too blatantly, 1000 miles ago, the brakes had 1000 miles of wear left in them, which is enough to pass an inspection, and is therefore not a fault as such. Brake wear is not a warrantied commodity, it is normal wear and tear. Having said that, how about you ask as a good will gesture that the dealer go halfs with you on the repair or some such similar deal, its got to be worth a try? Very best regards Geordie

if I was "gonna" spend 20 grand there is NO WAY I would go private.
It's not worth the risk, 20 grand is a big risk. I know you can get a mechanic to check it over, and all that BUT at the end of the day it is much safer to buy from a franchised dealership, i.e., if it is a Audi then buy from an Audi dealer.

Always go to a dealer and haggle like mad! With prices of second hand cars dropping rapidly, it's a buyers market, especially for that price level. More warranty, extras and a tank full of fuel is a start, anyway. Plus the fact if things do go wrong you can return to the dealer and threaten mayhem!
For that price you can afford to buy a quality brand that tends to keep its price relative to your 'tin boxes'.
AUDI and Mercedes every time!!

I'd go for the dealer, although you end up paying more, it usually comes with a warrenty, so yr covered, IF any thing goes wrong
Lots of dealers throw in extras - RAC cover, free services, etc which all help,
We just bought a new car from a dealer for £20K. & had loads of extras chucked in.
What sort of car were you thinking of getting?

yes buy from a dealer, but only buy an ex-showroom car, most of the time they will sell them with 1000 / 2000 off, because the need the space for new cars, also you can Hackle for extras and a good guarantee,

well everything has its own advantages & disadvantages..
if u buy privately, thn it is obvious tht u will get the car for a chaper price than a dealer....
but frm a dealer u will have a warranty and some will do discounts when servicing ..
its upto u really...

If I had £20K to spend on a car I'd go to a dealer for a new one.

first of all,you must be mad paying £20k on a used car.You can buy a new one for that!I would buy privately as dealers always bump the price up.
