So you've got yourself a shortlist of cars that would fit the bill. Now see what's around that matches your budget.
First place to check has to be your local newspaper. These often have good motoring sections with plenty of local dealer ads and some private ones too.
Or try the Yellow Pages to find the contact details for the nearest franchised dealer for the makes you're after, and give them a call.
Next on the list has to be a trip to the newsagent to pick up a copy of Auto Trader magazine, or check out their web site (click here). You'll find a great selection of cars for sale privately and it's easy to see what's on offer and compare what you should be paying. But be prepared to travel - they're usually spread over a fairly wide area.
There are other mags around, like Exchange & Mart, Loot, FreeAd and the free magazines you'll find on the forecourt of petrol stations.
The
internet is also a growing resource for finding your next car. These days
everyone wants to be a car dealer, from insurance companies to banks and supermarkets.
Many deal in nearly new cars direct over the net and, and will bring the car to
you for approval.
Best
of all, check out our own great KwikGuides
directory of web links to car dealers in your area. Most dealers have current
stock lists on their sites, so you needn't worry about out-of-date newspapers
or magazines listing cars long since sold. If you can't find your next car in
our directory, give up now!
