'Use a reputable dealer' when buying a car
30 May 2008
Consumers thinking of purchasing a car should ensure that they use a reputable dealer, according to the Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMI).
Sue Robinson, director of the RMI National Franchised Dealers Association, comments that purchasing a vehicle should be an enjoyable experience and not intimidating in any way, adding professional sales staff should put them at ease.
When it comes to actually making a decision on an automobile, Ms Robinson advises: "Don't forget to look into the extras available with the vehicle you favour."
She notes that many commonly-chosen features include Bluetooth capabilities, air-conditioning, mp3 players and alloy wheels, in news that may be of interest to car insurance customers and other road users.
In related news, vehicle retailer Motorpoint recently noted that drivers are increasingly purchasing vehicles that are smaller in size - such as the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa - as they look for ways to deal with the rising costs of fuel.
