Suzuki Swift Vs 207 Need Replacement 2Nd Hand Car - Advice Please

[rosyherb]

hi
I have seen and test driven 3 cars
1.3 2008 suzuki swift £4k 62,000
1.4 2008 (58) 207 £4k 78,000
1.4 2011 207 £5k 70,000

we don't do high mileage, all seem in reasonable nick, we have a honda civic as our 1st car (2004).

suggestions as to which you'd pick and why
(would you expect to see car jump started to test drive? all 3mths warranty parts and labour.

If a car on the garage forecourt needs a jump start, it is likely that it is has not been driven for sometime – resulting in the battery going flat; alternatively the battery may need replacing.

If buying a car that needs a jump start, factor in the £50 for a new battery, in the price you are willing to pay.
