chrispb123456 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Posted October 1, 2011 It's always a gamble buying a secondhand car, if you don't have a friend who's a bit more knowing who can look and listen with you then you take a chance.Cars that seem like a bargain very rarely are and end being someones cast off and costing a fortune to put right.Automatic versions in particular should be given a good road test to ensure it's working correctly.
