Most people want to buy a sound vehicle at the best possible price. But there is much more involved than simply getting a great deal. Check out the following web pages if you are considering buying a motor vehicle:

Before you buy a car

Alternatively, The car buyers handbook looks at all the things you need to consider before you actually part with your cash, right through to the steps you should take once you become the proud owner.

It clearly sets out what you can do to minimise the chances of being ripped off. Hundreds of thousands of motor vehicles change hands in NSW each year. The overwhelming majority of these transactions are fair and honest. But the Office of Fair Trading continues to receive complaints from consumers who believe they have not received a fair deal when buying a car or motor cycle.

That’s why the information in The car buyers handbook is so important. Take the time to read it.
