Places That Buy Used Cars

Q.am also interested in this thread. I am interested in buying a car in Britain (where I'll be living for about 6 months) or perhaps another European country. I would like to expand the question to include: Is it worth buying a used car from a dealer or someone who an individual. Where and how would I resell it most easily? I'm going to be based in Britain but plan to take the car for trips on the Continent. What's it like driving a right-hand drive car on the "wrong side of the road"? What insurance is required and how much does it cost? What are the best places to buy used cars in Britain? Which cities and dealers might offer the best prices? Is there anything else I should know? Has anyone out there done this and would like to share their experience?

A.cars in the UK ar expensive compared to the rest of europe, what sort of budget did you have in mind, you also have to bear in mind the price of petrol here, my fiesta, which is new and relatively economical so an old banger would be worse, takes ?5 at a time (about 35 litres ish), which generally gets me about 400 miles perhaps a bit more... Cars also need an MOT every year unless they are less than 3 years old. If it doesn't pass the mot you aren't legally allowed to drive it on the road, so check out when the mot runs out before you buy anything that looks bangerish. Something from a dealer will generally have some MOT if not a full new one from the day you buy it, but some dealers are dodgier than others... Cars from dealers will look shinier but cost more and generally used cars here come with very little in the way of warranty, but may well have a full MOT and 12 months tax.
