Used Buyer's Guide Editor

Sarah Chen

Sarah joined Car Deal Expert in 2009 after seven years at What Car?'s used-car bench. She leads the used buyer's guide desk: the long, condition-focused, mechanically-literate guides our regular readers come back for. She insists on a year-engine-trim recommendation in every guide, with the specific check that catches the worst examples. Specialises in premium German used, mid-life Range Rover, and Lexus. Based in South Manchester. [email protected].
