Gals Guide – Womens Guide to Buying Cars

Make sure your next car is safe

Many unfit and unsafe cars continue to be sold to unsuspecting buyers:

Many have been written off at sometime in their past but have been cleverly repaired with filler and paint. Get in an accident in one of these cars and they can disintegrate on impact.
“Cut and shut” vehicles – one car produced by welding together the front and back of two different vehicles. In this instance two for the price of one is not good news.
Every day 30 stolen cars are sold to unsuspecting customers, who ultimately have to hand them back to their rightful owners so they end up out of pocket and with no car.
Many used cars have had their mileage reset – so you don't know the extent of their use and can end up with a car that might need a new engine soon after you drive it away.
A high number of cars are sold with outstanding finance agreements which can result in the finance company taking the car back in order to recoup the money owed to them, so you end up with no car and no money.

Don't risk lives or loss of hard earned money:

Make sure you have a full service history for the car.
If it hasn't already been independently inspected (not a report by the seller themselves) then pay for an independent inspection of the car.

Statistics show that 94% of customers would like an independent inspection before they buy a used car.
