Looking at cars

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
I am going to look at a car tomorrow and just wondered what things I should look for? I have had a look at advice on auto trader but just wondered if anyone else had any good things to look out for. I'm going with my bf so it won't just be me on my own, otherwish I'd buy it just because I like the colour ha!

I have to go to Halifax for it so hope it isn't a wasted journy. The car I am looking at is 2004 Peugot 206 1.1 Independance (3dr) they want £2995 but I am going to be cheeky and see if I can get any off, though according to valuation sites it is about the right price.

    definately be cheeky!

    my car was advertised at £3000 but my boyfriend managed to get the price down to £2250. it came with a 3 month warranty and 12 month mot too so we got a bargain really as it really is a nice little car.

    54 plate means the second half of 2004 I think. An 04 plate would mean the first part of 2004. My car is 05 - so it's from the first half of 2005 as far as I know!
