Should I buy a repo car?
Can repossession sites be trusted? The cars seem varied and reasonably priced- there is a three day cooling off period after delivery - do you know of any issues or problems buying from them ?

Never distance buy from one of these places. Always give the car a thorough RAC history and finance check because, apparently, an RAC check includes a check on chattel mortgages (logbook loans).
