To get the best price whether new or used car, a buyer is well advised to study the tactics to be used to counter the tactics used by the car seller. It's not just a matter of what to look for in terms of conducting a mechanical/visual inspection but also a matter of how to negotiate on price and extras. You may well be experienced and confident in these circumstances however many are not so I would highly recommend doing some preparation in advance. There are many Youtube videos that are most helpful in this regard. A quick search on you tube for, say, "How to buy a used car", "how to check over a used car" and "negotiate a car purchase" will provide many worthwhile tips. Also check out reviews on honestJohn.co.uk and better still, check for common problems with a particular model on user forums. Here's just a few to avoid:- Range Rover with 2 litre Ingenium engine( 2.2 is OK) Citroen C4 Cactus with 1.2 Puretech engine Vauxhall Eco-Boost engine Mini with petrol engine Kia 1.6 Mhev engine Anything with a wet timing belt Golf Mk5 with CCTA engine Honda Jazz can be prone to rust There's more that could be mentioned but these stick in my mind. If need any help just send me a PM Based on your requirement to load a mobility scooter, I'd suggest something like a Vauxhall Zafira 1.6. VW Turan. -

Never had a problem with Poundland - good selection of stock and shop is clean. I have always found staff helpful, pleasant and go out of their way to try and help. one in Barnstaple in Devon is I believe closing down- shop is not laid out as well, cramped and not a pleasant experience. Sure there is going to be major complaints when it closes. if the shop closes in East Dulwich, without doubt local community will complain - not everyone can afford prices that other shops charge. -
Many years ago whilst a male friend was canvassing during election time, he knocked on a door in Crystal Palace Road. Was greeted by a lady in glamorous (according to him) nightwear who offered her services in exchange for voting for a particular candidate! Our friend, who must have been in his 60s at that point , politely declined. We all had a good laugh over this and every time people went canvassing for years afterwards, they were regaled with this story. -
Noticed that Car Giant is listed as being in White City. Prefer somewhere in South London/Bromley area as have difficulty accessing some public transport due to mobility issues. The body work of my car is not brilliant and this could cause it to fail MOT
