Decide whether you want to opt only for car dealers trading online, or whether you will consider private sales too. The benefit with dealers is that you can often part exchange and take advantage of offloading your old car and getting a discount in the process.
By opting for a vehicle which is located locally to you (you can find plenty of them on and eBay Motors)will ensure that you can take the vehicle for a test drive before committing to buy. Be wary of sellers who won't let you test drive, and don't make any payments until you've seen the car yourself. Have a list of questions ready for when you meet the owner or dealer, so you can get a clear picture of the car's history and current condition.
