What is worth checking first

A low price is not the full cost

Insurance, tyres, servicing and repairs can change the value of a deal.

Listing details need context

Compare similar year, mileage, specification and condition before judging price.

Inspection comes before payment

Documents and vehicle condition should be checked before a final decision.

Finance needs a full review

Consider total repayment and fees, not only the monthly instalment.
