After reading the stories of some members who have been unfortunate to buy 2nd hand cars that have not been what they expected etc, I have decided to put some links up here:

Easy to read basic info here: DIRECT.GOV

More complex info here: TRADING STANDARDS INSTITUTE

Check if a Dealer is registered with the Retail Motor Industry HERE

Sales Of Goods Act 1979: HERE

Trading Standards have a consumer helpdesk called Consumer Direct, you can call them on 08454 04 05 06

The AA have a Car Buyers Guide HERE

If I find anymore useful links I shall post them above.

Regards,

Carl.
