Tips to get the best car for your money
- Watch a few sales first to learn where prices really land.
- Prioritise condition over age - a clean older car can cost less overall than a newer car that needs work.
- Check the essentials - engine, gearbox, AC, tyres and any accident repairs.
- GCC or import - cars listed in miles are usually imports; read the condition notes carefully.
- Bring a mechanic if you are not confident checking a car yourself.
