    Got a Megane Coupe checked last night by mechanic.

    Haggled with the seller and got a good price on it.

    Shes bringing it up to me some night soon.

    What do I need/should I ask her before I part with my cash?

    - Tax Book
    - Keys

    What else?

    Thanks all! :)

    Just on the keys, make sure that there are two of them and test them both! Because if you don't have a working spare key it is not a simple job to get one "cut"

    I would also look for photo ID that she is who she says she is and this matches the one in the log book. Also she shouldn't give you the log book it's her responsibility to fill in the details and post it.

    Thanks tipsy, so she fills in the log book? What if she give me that to do, just fill it in myself and shoot it off -- that simple?

    Service book with stamps to check service history.

    Simple things like stereo unlock code (might be needed later) should be on a card with car manual and other bits in glove box.

    As a bonus, any other records of work done, services carried out on your new motor.

    And check for a spare tyre just in case.... you never know....
