Aberdeen is Scotland's third largest city and the hub of the North Sea oil industry, with a prosperous economy that drives strong demand for quality used vehicles. The city's exposed North Sea coastal location and cold, wet climate make underbody corrosion a significant concern, and vehicles from the Aberdeen area should always be checked for salt damage from both the sea and the heavy road gritting the city's winters demand. Aberdeen's offshore industry workforce also creates a market for vehicles sold quickly when contractors relocate.
