Due to the scrappage deal by the govenment, not a lot of 2nd hand cars available..good luck! Check the dates of manufacture, for excessive tax prices.

I thought the scrapage system was for cars of a certain age, looking for something newish last two/four years.

why not buy privately in the same age bracket? apart from finance or the warranty security blanket to non diy types i see no reason to buy from a dealer.

Your right and I have not ruled out private purchase, it's been that long since I have been in to a dealer though, just wondered what tricks to play if any?
Plus the part ex would be handy!

Depends what you are going to part ex if its a older car a better price can got from a private sale.

it's an old corsa, not sure of it's market value could be anything between £150-2000 according to internet valuation. Not done that much milage for age 1997 and 50k
Got a pal that might have a fiesta for sale 2007, 9000 miles, wants 4K.

We have just sold the daughters 1997 peugeot 106 for £725,have a look in the local papers to get a feel for local prices.The car had done 86,000
miles but the engine was as sound as a pound, it had just been through its m.o.t with no expenditure needed.

I will do that also been browsing the net motor mart stuff!

I see Vauxhall are offering a lifetime guarantee on all models. Might be worth a look although there are conditions.
The new Corsa is a nice car
