Private car sellers can be found in local papers, notice boards and via online second hand car classifieds. There is no shortage of private car sellers and this is probably the most common way to buy a second hand car. Upon finding a car of interest, a buyer can contact a seller via phone or email to arrange an inspection and make an offer.

Before buying any second hand car, first check the current market value for the vehicle you want. There are guidebooks available from most newsagents that list makes and models for almost all cars and give an approximate value with relation to the age.

When you are inspecting a car, first check the body work. Is there any corrosion or rust? It’s rare to find a car more than 5 years old that is completely rust free, but make sure that any corrosion is cosmetic, rather than structural.
