I very rarely buy or sell cars, so I would welcome some advice.
I'm going to buy a 2nd hand Focus and want to make sure it is not going to need repairs soon or there is some damage which needs frequent maintenance.
I had thought of getting from a private seller but I have heard a coupl eof times that private sellers tend to expect too much. So it seems better to get a 2nd hand car from a local independent dealer (or perhaps a car supermarket).
However Ford dealers have their Ford Direct scheme for some of their 2nd hand cars. The prices start a bit high for my liking but if there is real value in a car bought from this scheme then I might be able to justify it for peace of mind.
Is Ford Direct worth the extra money?
What do I actually get that I don't normally get on a second hand car?
