Edmund King gets asked hundreds of questions, it's likely someone has asked a similar question.
When I was buying a car recently, I used my contacts at the AA to check out various things that I couldn't necessarily find out on-line. If you have any questions about buying or selling cars or consumer issues about motoring, then please Ask Edmund.
I won't always know the answers but probably 'know a man who can' - or indeed a woman. I have twenty five years experience in the motoring and transport sectors, including car sales, car rental, consumer campaigning, lobbying, and indeed helping to run motoring organisations. In my current roles as Automobile Association president and Visiting Professor of Transport at Newcastle University my contacts are current and on the ball. So if you do have any questions about buying a car or indeed broader motoring and transport issues, I will do my best to answer - with a little help from my friends.
