My advice would be buy an import and not a UK model
Just dont buy an import from a dodgy garage, list of dodgy garages available by PM
Make sure it does not sound like a diesel or smoke like a beagle in a cgae is the starting point
Do a lot of research, get someone knowledgable local to Montrose to have a look at some prospective cars, then do the AA/RAC inspection.
Avoid cars that have been deresricted if you do choose an import
