Any advice on what to look for when buying a used car in Hong Kong? I've heard that dealers require you to make an offer and deposit on a car before you can even take a test drive? Does anyone know of a reputable used car dealer?

Tommy at Vins Motors.

I've never heard a bad word said about him. He let us test drive any car we wanted on the roads, although he did say that most people they only let drive around the parking lots in Quarry Bay. No deposit required.
He guarantees the cars after he sells them. After that, he helps you whenever you need to fix your car. My colleagues also say that if they're without a car for a while, he'll lend them some old car as a replacement until they get their own car fixed.
He'll pick up your car wherever it is and drive it to get fixed and then return it to you.

Allow me to say a bad word about Tommy and Vin's motors. He is a charming man. A skillful salesman, of course. Beware. We bought a car from him 3 years ago, and despite the fact that he assured us it had been tested and serviced, wtihin days of taking it , numerous mechanical faults came to light and he became less and less interested in helping fix them despite the warranty. In the end he swapped it for another car. This car seemed fine, but a week after taking it, he called us to say we could keep it after all - the previous owner had been declared bankrupt and Vin's motors had not transferred ownership meaning that the accountants could seize our car. Three cars later we finally got a vehicle but it has cost significant money to keep it roadworthy.
I would recommend buying from friends or colleagues who are leaving Hong Kong - or the Kowloon Bay Automall under the International Trade Centre.
Good luck!

Thanks. I will check out Vins and the other Automall dealers to see what kind of stock they have. Interested in a 3-4 year old 7 seater, either SUV or minivan. Do these dealers handle all of the paperwork for you? licensing and insurance?

Vin's handles licensing. They'll put you in touch with insurance and if you want that company they'll deal with the paperwork.
