What to know

Compare the total cost of owning the car and not just the price. A bigger engine can mean higher fuel, insurance and tyre costs.

What to check

A test drive on a rough road as well as tarmac, listening for suspension knocks.
Gear changes when the engine is cold and again when it is warm.
The insurance quote for that exact car before you agree a price.
Tyre age and brand, because a full set is a large expense.
