Buying a used car on the internet - Approved used

31 December 2007
The safest option is to buy from a franchised dealer or established car supermarket.

You'll be able to browse their cars online and compare prices, but they prefer to close a deal face to face.

You'll place a deposit over the internet or phone, then pay in full at the showroom.

This allows you to shop around to get the best deal and inspect the car before you sign on the dotted line, but prices are high.
