Service history

Buying a new car?
Service history is a major point in your decision  but  but  some great cars cab be missing a service history.
Golden rule if you dont know anything about cars don't  go looking  by yourself.You need somebody who is experienced   otherwise you risk falling into a hole and buying a real lemon
The rac  offer a check service as do the AA.
If you buy from a big reputable  seller then good but again  dont trust them to  destruction  always get some body knowledgable on ther case.
Buying privately as some  major rules,ignorethem at your peril
No1  what is the area like if its ashit hole then  very likely the car  will be as well.
Use a postcode checker to look at the areas  demographics ie what is the wage level etc.
If you know your area  then its easy to avoid  shit holes.However if your travelling to an unknown are its  a different matter.
Use google earth  along with your post code checker,don't just look at the actual post code have a good  shuftie wth google e earth get the feel for the area surrounding.................remember if the area is low end so will the car.....................don't waste your time taking it any further
