All been very happy and these cars are still on the road today with no problems.<br><br>If you know what car/s you are looking for and their common faults, you will be fine mate. Its a catch 22 and you could be opening up a car of worms, but make sure you inspect the vehicle throughly before deciding to purchase it. If you have a friend or family member who is mechanically minded, your in luck.Sun, 23 Nov 2008 13:02:46 GMTCHEFAI/Topic2234-91-1.aspxI know what you mean about those car sales places.

I'm a bit nervouse about being pressured into a purchase or being ripped off.
