Your advice
Penny and Steve.
"We were looking to buy a new car as the car we had was old and had been given to us by my parents.
We went onto the Directgov website to find out our rights and the checks we should make before we decided which car to buy.
We went to a number of car dealers, looked at lots of cars, followed the advice we read and have now got a lovely new car which we're very happy with".
