If you are considering buying a used car from the small ads in the local paper then exercise caution.

Of course I'm going to suggest you go to a dealership, particularly this one, but there are good reasons for this. Foremost amounst these is that as a company we are bound by the Sale of Goods Act together witha raft of other consumer protection laws. There is a lesser considered but possibly more important reason however - safety. Watch the video below to see what can happen if you are unlucky enough to buy the wrong thing.
