Research

Compare prices, models and engine types. Consider issues like manual or automatic, petrol or diesel. You may decide that an LPG conversion is something that would suit your purposes. These days you may even have the choice of a hybrid vehicle. But be sure to do your research.

Check advertisements for used vehicles carefully as prices for the same year and model of car can vary considerably depending on the car's condition, the distance it has travelled and what extras have been fitted.

Choose from a licensed second-hand vehicle dealer with a good reputation, because they will usually provide a good follow-up service if problems arise. You can check if the dealer is licensed at Licensing Public Register.
