Buy a Used Car with FindsYouCars
01/08/2010
To help you use FindsYou Cars in the best possible way and to ensure you make the right decisions when looking for a used car we’ve put together some tips below.
Research Average Pricing
Usually when someone has failed to receive any results from a search on FindsYouCars it’s because they’re unsure of what price range to look at. For example you’re unlikely to get many responses if you’re looking for an Aston Martin DB9 for under £5,000! We approve all enquiries so that if your budget is way out we’ll get back to you before sending it out to our dealer network. Though we would advise you to do your own research yourself. There are dozens of sites with car price information. Once you’ve got a good idea of the price range, make sure your enquiry reflects this and you’ll increase your chances of receiving great responses.
Include more than one car in your enquiry if you want.
If you’re interested in a few different used cars or have no preference then try including a few more cars. You should receives around 10 responses. You can increase the number of responses and by extension your options if you include a second or third car that you’re interested in.
