Buying a new car and ensuring you achieve the fairest possible deal is all about using common sense and thinking ahead, an expert in the motoring sector said this week.
Quentin Willson, ex-Top Gear presenter, spoke on behalf of Kitemark and said people who want to purchase a vehicle - some of which may be likely to do so using car finance - should be aware that the process involves forward planning.
They should see what reputation the dealer has, if it is part of a motoring federation and if good standards are practiced, he explained.
"It's about knowing if the product has been tested ... if the operator cares about their reputation, standards, doing the right job and all that old fashioned stuff," Willson concluded.
Since his departure from Top Gear, Willson has presented Channel Five motoring show Fifth Gear.
He also appeared in BBC reality competition Strictly Come Dancing, although heonly lasted for one week.
