Thinking of Buying a Coupe? Read this before posting!!!

Buying a new car is a stressful and life-changing decision. A good purchase can be memorable, but so can a poor one, for very different and horrible reasons. :think:

There have been a lot of new members to the forum, who immediately start asking for advice on what to look for. This is getting quite repetitive and it is quite a shame to have a lot of good information disbanded across several posts. This post is an attempt to resolve this problem, please use this post for buying queries.

RULES!
  1. Questions should relate to BUYING a Coupe only. If you have questions about specific issues, then please find the relevant post on the forum or post elsewhere.
  2. Experienced members; Please try to help out, but try to redirect questions to suitable posts on the forum when possible. This will help prevent this post from becoming too cluttered.
Remember to say :text-thankyouyellow:

Depends on your budget mate. Obviously you'll pay more at a trader than private. Some ppl will say go private because its more likely to have been cared for properly and just neglected and part ex'd to a trader. Jus make sure you thoroughly check it out before buying. Like, very thoroughly.
I got both my coupes through traders and I dont regret it at all. If you have the cash to hand it will cheaper going private though.
