Two in three ripped off by relatives

PA

We all know that we have to have our wits about us when we visit a slippery second-hand-car salesman. It's one reason we're so grateful when we are offered the chance to buy from family who are trading up. Finally, someone we trust who will give us a good deal on a car we can rely on.

Except, a new survey has revealed that when we buy a car from relatives we're nowhere near as safe from rip offs as we think.
