same as you mark, only ever use those 3 as every decent dealer sells on those nowadays.

far easier searching for cars online than dragging yourself round dealer forecourts all day, listening to their waffle.

Depends what your after. Every car I have bought, I wanted a specific spec, so basically rules out using local dealers.

Forums for that particular model are always a good bet, especially if they are a regular member so you can check their past posts and get a good idea if you are buying a car off someone like mad_mike or someone like bigron/dale etc.

I usually decide on what make/model I want then take a look on the owners clubs if they have one.

Over the years,ive noticed that 98% of cars for sale on owners forums are over-priced.

SVAG is the worst.

Majority of them will have been looked after better and people always expect to be knocked down, so price high.
