Looking at buying a second hand car. Seen one I liked low mileage etc, but it's had three owners in three years. Is this a warning sign, makes me nervous for some reason.
It's not, that's one of my worries seems to be an all round garage sell, buy, repair that sort of thing.Is it from a main dealer? If it is then it should have a warranty and possibly manufacturer's warranty.
If you're not happy, walk away. There are plenty cars out there. Have you looked any of the online car dealers?
And prices seem to be creeping up steadily too, I bought my xc60 when it was about 6 years old with 3 previous owners and have had no issues at all, has done 120k miles now and runs great, as previously mentioned first owner was dealer and then 2 more at roughly 2 year intervals so I reckoned it was just folk who like to change cars regularlyGot to say, depending what car you’re after, there is not plenty from my own recent experience.

Thanks for the advice, going to have a look today if first reg keeper was dealer that would make sense. Its a Peugeot 308sw and seems to be cheap in comparison to others around same year and mileage.
I'd be more worried about it being a Peugeot than the number of owners ?.Thanks for the advice, going to have a look today if first reg keeper was dealer that would make sense. Its a Peugeot 308sw and seems to be cheap in comparison to others around same year and mileage.
