[QUOTE="Thresher, post: 652007, member: 9983"] One thing about auctions I never liked was that you didnt really get to check out the car in a lotof detail, most are pretty reputable though and make sure that nothing makes the floor that isnt hot or bent. But yes, dealerships are bad places full of some very slimy and stupid people that will probably get their own special spot in hell for crimes against humanity. Then theres the 2nd hand places that take it to a whole new lower level. Finding someone that can get you a new (or 2nd hand) car for a good price is almost as risky unless you know them personally, but unlike the dealerships theres a few of them out there that do a good job and it might be worth your time to see if anyone you know, knows one. I dont really recommend private sales either, as a whole most people dont maintain their cars very well so even that nice straight car that was owned by someones old mum in the burbs might look alright, chances are old mum didnt know what oil or water was. Still, if you can find a private sale for a reasonable price and has log books with receipts for regular servicing then by all means give it serious consideration. But firstly, it really dosent sound like your friend knows what he wants, so, its time to go out and have a look at some cars on the internet or in reveiws of car magazines rather than getting flat feet tramping from one end of town to another. Know what you want to buy, not what some shonk tells you and it will save a lot of time in the end, even if that means you have have to wait a little while until the car you'd like shows up somewhere. Dont forsake the 2-door Nissans mate, the turbo ones are more fun than anything else out there :) [/QUOTE]
