Honest John Car Buying Advice - Home

That is a fantastic website which will give you an honest opinion of any car you can think of, information provided includes what to look out for and safety ratings.

Some tips there, lest not forget the specific Motoring section

[Uridium]

Once you have a specific car in mind do some internet research on that model to look for common/known faults

[MadaCup]

I always check enthusiast forums and find a guide/list of common faults. Honestjohn is quite handy as well.

HI,

A good start is four wheels, all the requisite doors, the full interior (seats, ignition, mirrors, etc) and a complete, working engine. Anything above that is a bonus.
