Been on the lookout for 2 months for a private sale, but there's just fuck all available.
And Evans Halshaw at least move a car across the country for nowt*, which makes it easier.

You can shop around but cheap means crap normally, the devil is in the detail though.

Yeah, that's what I'm worried about.
And no idea who their warranty is actually with tbh.

Worth finding out. That’s not a bad price however.

Looking at this I think it’s a pot they generate themselves.

So for every used car sold and a warranty applied, that cash goes into a central EH account that is used as and when something goes wrong.

Looks like it could be decent.

You can always purchase after you e bought but I’d recommend spending the money on a warranty.

Mechanical and breakdown guarantee

A 4 year old, and twins on the way. Need something that can take 3 proper child seats, and room in the back for a double pram.

Buy a 2 or 3 year old Hyundai as they have 5 year warranties that transfer to used cars.

But don't have 3 proper seats in their back/middle row.

Used or Nearly New Ford S-Max Ford 2.0 TDCi 150 Zetec 5dr (1008845) in Black for sale at Motorpoint Peterborough

Still has real warranty.

Six grand more though!
I've got about £5k's worth of Fiesta to trade in, so I'm spending about £6-7k. I did look at a 2015 model, but they are around the £15k range, and that's £10k in cash to spend, which I really don't fancy doing.

I guess, it'll be worth a hell of a lot more in 4 years time though. Pocket change to PTR I reckon. ;)

A lot of warranties aren't really worth having ,by the time the small print kicks in,nothing is covered .Personally I don't I would bother . if the deal is okay I cant see who you buy it off mattering
