Once you have decided on which car you are wanting to purchase there are a few basic steps that it would be advisable to take. Obviously it will all depend on how much you were intending to pay for your next car, the greater the value the higher the risk, therefore the more reason that these necessary steps be taken.

• Do a Vehicle Data check. This can be done direct from our site to CAR WATCH UK just click on the link and this will give you peace of mind that the car is not subject to any agreement.

• Insurance. Contact your insurers, or you can obtain a quotation from one of the companies listed on our insurance page to see what premium they will be requiring for the type of car that you are intending to purchase. The more powerful and costlier vehicles can have a premium that is beyond your budget so check this before proceeding.

• Price. Check the price that the seller is asking for the car, again you can do this direct from our site to PARKERS GUIDE just by clicking the link. This will also be valuable information when you come to negotiate a price for the vehicle.

• See a few. It is always advised that you shop around, so therefore it is good to see a few cars so that you can compare condition between them and their asking prices

• Basic Checks. Check tyres including spare for wear, also breakdown emergency kit. Always look at a car in daylight this will help show up if there has been any body damage repairs. Make sure it has a current MOT certificate.

• Professional Opinion. When making an appointment to view a car take along someone like a mechanic to do a basic check for you, alternatively contact the AA or RAC and on paying their fee they will do a roadworthy check for you. Again the more money you are spending depends on how much you pay out in the initial stages for the vital checks required.
