Gumtree share their top tips for buying second-hand cars<\/h3>\n

Drivers should always follow three simple tips when buying new or second-hand petrol, diesel and electric cars, according to motoring experts.<\/p>\n

Roy Sharf, owner of Peterborough-based Noya Motor Group has revealed how drivers can avoid being caught out when opting for a new model.<\/p>\n

The expert has stressed simple extras such as a car warranty or paying out for a simple car check may prevent drivers from suffering a whole host of issues after parting with their cash.<\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, Mr Sharf has identified the top three things drivers should look out for when securing a new machine this year.<\/p>\n

Warranty<\/h3>\n

New cars will almost always come with a warranty agreement which will last for three years or the first 6,000 miles. This will protect the buyer against factory defects or mechanical and electrical faults as part of the deal.<\/p>\n

However, most used cars purchased from a reputable dealer will usually come with some form of additional warranty lasting between six and 12 months. Mr Sharf told Express.co.uk: \u201cWhen purchasing a vehicle there are many factors to consider.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would always recommend purchasing a vehicle with a warranty with good cover levels. If you buy a vehicle with a warranty and the unfortunate event of something going wrong happens, you are not left with large repair costs. A big red flag which is happening more now post-Covid are distant sales.”<\/p>\n
