Afraid I don't know any places, but I guess to aid others in helping you:

a) what country are you in
b) where in that country are you winktongue out


I suspect at that age you'll also be wise to look at private sales. There will only be limited places dedicated to selling these models and then you still need to take each car on a case by case basis.

Hi again
I,m from the Wirral which is in between liverpool and chester
yes ive been looking at some private ones on here and there is some certainly good looking examples, its just when you buy from a garage at least your gettin a warranty but most privately owned ones have had most work done to them .
thanks for the reply.

1st rule when buying cars......stay away from the Bradford area. Many people have been ripped off and scammed in that area.

Buying MLR cars is a good way to trace history of the vehicle, you can search through user posts and see what issues they have had and what sort of money has been spent.
Also plenty of sales here on pistonheads.

edit to add : I would try to persuade you to buy private instead of dealer garages, you really do get much more for your money. Just remember to find out as much history about the car as you can. And do the usual mechanical and outstanding financial checks.
