Top Tips for Buying a Used Car in Guernsey

So, you've decided to buy a used car in Guernsey – fantastic choice! But with so many things to consider, where do you even begin? Here are some top tips to ensure a smooth and successful used car buying experience:

  • Set a Budget: Be realistic about how much you can afford to spend on the car itself, as well as insurance, tax, and maintenance.
  • Do Your Research: Check online resources and reviews to get a good idea of the typical price range for the make and model of car you're interested in.
  • Test Drive: This is your chance to get a feel for the car and ensure it's in good working order. Pay attention to things like the engine noise, handling, and brakes.
  • Don't Rush: Take your time, ask questions, and don't be afraid to walk away if something doesn't feel right. There's always another car out there!
