makes good sense if you get one of their car loans they give you a free inspection iirc

Not really, Do your research and check it over your self, the only thing I would recommend for every buy is an hpi check, if a car is cat c or d and you dont know about it you will be sick when ya find out...

I would m8, wait until youve seriously narrowed your choice down m8. ie you are 5 mins from buying it pending inspection. could save you 100`s if its a shitter.

what makes me laugh is he blatently was just going to fast for the road, but he tried blaming it on the brakes.


the same brakes he had 20mins earlier check over to make sure they were ok
