Consider other costs such as insurance and any modification or repair.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-Do your homework: &lt;br&gt;Compare the price, usage and features . Don't over pay.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-Never view a car in the rain, in poor light or at night. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-Check the service documents.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-check any documentation provided, including current and previous MOT certificates.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-Insist on seeing the V5 vehicle registration document: &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-Check the seller has a current MOT certificate and certificate of insurance: &lt;br&gt;if the car is three years old or more, make sure there's a continuous series of annual MOT certificates&lt;br&gt;see if the mileage on these certificates agrees with the service records&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-if you do decide to go it alone, use our DIY inspection checklist to make sure you look the car over thoroughly.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-Confirm how the security system works.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-Test-drive the car before committing yourself: &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-Be vigilant: &lt;br&gt;Look for mismatched panels and colors on doors, bonnet and tailgate. These can indicate that the car has been repaired after a shunt.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-Look for traces of spray paint on door handles, window seals and moldings.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-Don't hand over money until you've agreed collection or delivery: &lt;br&gt;</description><pubDate>Mon, 28 Dec 2009 01:50:53 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>jeewa</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
