    Car buying

    Just looking for some advice on buying a car from a garage please, it's on U.K. plates which the garage are sorting and also ncting it so I won't be driving it away on the day if we agree on a price, do I pay a small deposit and the balance when I collect the car?

    Only thing I don't like is the price! How long should it take to sort the plates and test?

    Just Incase you don't know, You can get all the MOT history online if it's old enough. (3 years for 1st MOT)

    Defo worth checking mot history online as it gives the mileage when it was MOTed.
