I guess it depends on the age of the car. On cars older than 3 years
you're unlikely to get a good warranty. And you are guaranteed to pay
more in a dealership.

Most dealers include an insurance type 'warranty' with reasonably recent
secondhand cars. Hoping this will exempt them from the sale of goods acts.


I haven't bought a car for quite a long time but, when I did, I was
shocked at the poor quality of the cars on all the forecourts.

Forget the claims they are thoroughly checked before sale. Unless this
just means a good clean. And exactly the same applies to main dealers.
