I bought a car from a used car dealer, with finance from Santander (so not a dodgy deal) six weeks ago. When I bought it the car sales man told me I have 3 months warranty, but the only paper work I have is from the credit provider, so I have no proof of what he has said. The brakes are grinding, and I wondered if they would be liable as I have only done about 120 miles in the car.

Buying A Classic Car

8th July 2010

When you look at buying a classic car it is very important that you do your research and buy the right one for you.

Start by considering why you want to own a classic car, if you want to travel long distances then a cabriolet version is probably not the right car for you. Make a list of your top ten dream classic cars, strike through those that for practical reasons will not allow you to use them as you would like.

Next cross off those cars that are outside your budget. Consider not just the cost of buying the car, but also the cost of running and maintaining the car. Make a list of the cost of obvious things like insurance, but also include the cost of items you have to regularly replace such as tyres. Parts like tyres can be very expensive for some classic cars.

Go to a few classic car shows at this stage. Here you can see the cars that you like close up. Doing this will help you to know if you really like them as much as you think you do. You can also start to work out if they are right for you, for example if you are tall you can physically see how much leg room is available.

Classic cars need lots of specialist care, so now you must find out if there is a garage near you that can help you with this care and get you the parts you will need. At this stage owners clubs can be invaluable they maintain lists of garages and workshops and can tell you how easy it is to source parts.

By now you will have decided on which car you want to buy, now it is time to find your dream car. You can find it using a combination of sources, start by searching on-line or by contacting the owners club to see if any are for sale. You will also find classic cars for sale in local newspapers, at auctions, in garages, at classic car shows and on eBay.

Once you have found the car that you are interested in go and look at it, but take a good mechanic with you. By this time you should know from the owners club, the weaknesses of the vehicle you are interested in. During the inspection ask your mechanic to pay particular attention to those areas, looking for emerging problems or problems that have been covered up.

Buying a used car can be a daunting task for the non-mechanically minded. Use the checks suggested in this article to weed out the bad cars and find those that are probably OK to buy. When you have done that, get the car you finally settle on buying checked by a mechanic.

If the water in the radiator is a muddy brown, be cautious, this can be a sign of rust or that an additive has been used to seal leaks. While the engine is cool check the oil level. If the oil is low this indicates an engine problem or that the vehicle has been badly maintained. Smell the oil cap, if it smells of burning this is another indication of poor maintenance.

For an automatic car look at the transmission fluid, if it is pinkish or red that is OK. If it is a brownish red colour, this is a sign of poor maintenance. Flecks of metal in the transmission fluid are an indication of a serious problem.

Look around the engine for signs of oil leaks. Allow the car to warm up before test driving it. Check the temperature gauge during the test drive and at the end of the test drive. Whilst you wait for the engine to warm up check the exhaust, listen for any rattles or other unusual noises. Exhaust smoke should be clear once the car has warmed up, if it is not this can indicate problems with the engine.

If there are any belts visible in the engine compartment check that these are not excessively slack, worn or cracked. Belts do not cost a lot to replace, but it depends on where they are situated. Worn or slack belts are often a sign of poor maintenance.

Check the steering during the test drive, make sure it responds properly and does not make any unusual noises. When safe to do so, and whilst travelling in a straight line remove your hands from the steering wheel. If the car drifts this can indicate suspension or alignment problems. Test the brakes too, if you hear unusual noises when braking this indicates problems, usually brakes do not cost much to repair.

Finally, check that the lights and things like electric windows are all working correctly. Electrical problems are notoriously hard and expensive to fix, especially central locking or air-conditioning problems.

My husband had a car on finance with large balloon payment after 3 years, I’m now left with no money and wondered whether if I persue the repossession order on his car, will it affect my credit rating in the future or will it affect the house. The car was in his name. I am trying to prioritize my finances following his death – 2 small children etc, no mortgage protection or insurances to speak of
