To add to Nigels OP.
Take a friend who knows about cars with you!!
If you havn't got such a friend ,find out if any of your friends have a garage the use for servicing and "buy" a mechanic for the hour you go to look at your choice..
(There are two such young lads at the independant I use who are never averse to a few bob in hand and much cheaper than buying a pig in a poke. Bbecause they tend to see slightly older and a wider range of model cars than an main dealer may they will have a range of experiences to use as reference)
