People who buy a used car but do not check it out are also putting their lives in danger, according to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC). More than half of consumers who bought used cars over the past five years, bought from a car dealership. “The Irish used car market has been significantly impacted in recent months by both Covid-19 and Brexit. Consumers in some cases are taking increased risks by buying cars from private, or less reputable sellers without checking the car history,” she said. The CCPC car history checklist is on its ccpc.ie website to help consumers through the process of buying a used car as safely as possible.
