JJ Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Greetings, I am after some help and advice.I am about to embark on buying a seconhand car here in France.I am faced with the same dilemmas as buying secondhand in the UK, ie Garages are more expensive, but you get a guarentee, private is cheaper, but with little or no protection?Prices seem a lot higher than the UK, so can anyone recommend a website or magazine that is a good reference for 2nd hand prices, like Parkers in the UK.Many thanks.

Bugsy Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 You may be suprised about prices if you shop around. If you don't have a great knowledge of cars, my advice would be to use a main dealer.We bought our last car (18 months old) from a main dealer, got a really good package regarding warranty and paid nearly £3000 less than the nearest equivalent car in the UKShop around...........................it's a buyers market............and haggle.

Mik from LA Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 You may find this site interesting second hand carsin franceIt is used by employees of Citroen to sell cars which they are allowed to buy at a substantial discount at (I think) 6 month intervals.Anyway whatever the story I bought a 6 month old car in mint condition for about 2/3 rds list price.
