Hi All

I need to buy a car for my oldest daughter to start driving. Budget £3k to £4k to it can last for all the kids. I'm looking in autotrader etc but can anyone recommend any good reliable dealers that offer a good selection of small cars that are likely to be in good order? Part of the trouble is not really knowing what car I want so a good dealer with a selection would help narrow the choices! I'm in Wokingham.

Many thanks

Quite a few of my neighbours have bought cars repeatedly from Donnington Cars in Erleigh Road, Reading. They've been there years.
Alternatively Charles, the guy who owns/runs Charvil Car Centre, has always struck me as pretty customer oriented.
He used to run his business from the site on the Wokingham Road near Cemetery Junction but now operates from Fleet.
Both normally offer quite a good selection of budget cars.
HTH.
Cheers, Pewe.

Hint... before you buy, check out the damage for insurance for a few possible car types, both for learners and after they've passed their test. Made my eyes water when my eldest daughter started to drive weeping
