Buyer's Guide
A very big newbie mistake is to avoid cars that have been near a track and to look for the lowest millage possible never driven cars.
The problem with this is that all to often the 'Garage jewellery' cars often are the ones to avoid with none of the normal 'niggles' fixed and items perishing with age, also with this watch out for cars that are 'unserviced'.
Servicing is ever year or when mileage dictates.
