    How did Z4 do MrC?

    Stuck it in the corner of my unit out of the way, pretty much everyone who saw it commented on how nice it looks etc etc, and the more I looked at it the more I liked it.. So its now in my name with my Plate on it!  :D

    Doesn’t sound overly cheap to me but I reckon it would go quickly. I just sold a 2005 S4 (same 4.2 V8) and it was averaging over 100 as views per day on AT and it sold in a week. 

    I had an S4 a few years ago I could have sold several times over.

    Im out of touch with car prices, the RS4 looked a lot of flash for little cash.

    I was at one of my suppliers today and he wants a quick sale on his RS4 Cab. 2006/7 (Sorry wasnt take much attention but thats the only years they made them) 91k miles in Silver..

    He wants £10k.. Sounds cheap to me. Its based in North Somerset if anyone interested. PM me if you want his details

    Kind of reminds me of the time I took a A4 in to swap circa 2005 ish. 

    The thing had about a 3rd of a tank of fuel in it.  Naturally I used the car, day or so later I got pulled in to a Revenue roadside fuel check.  Boom... Its running on red diesel!  Fuck..

    I had to provide invoices etc to prove I had only just got it and give last owner details. I heard no more of it

    I learnt the hard way, Punters have a "Warranty" and are under some kind of illusion its a cast iron guarantee that their cars fault will be fixed regardless. They get brought down to earth very quickly when the warranty co wont pay out because of _______. Then your already irate customer is back on to you screaming blue murder.    

    I found life easier to stick to the word of the law, No more No Less

    I dont like the close up depth of field type shots, Its the kind of shots Id expect to see on a detailing forum or somewhere like Tom Hartley, its like you are trying to hard. Some of the close up shots show the wear and tear a bit to much, that would be enough to put some punters off.

    Becuase I incorporated last year after receiving plates (in my name), I had to apply for new plates using a VTL301, I even called DVLA to confirm that I was doing everything right.  There was even some guidance notes saying you couldn't apply more than 10 days before when you want the plates to start.  

    Mid Jan, letter comes back with my VTL301 and cheque saying due to the change of legal entity, I need to send a VTL301 - the very same form they sent back to me correctly completed.  And, I also need to fill in a VTL308.

    I called DVLA and said I am confused, you're asking me to send what I have already sent.  They said we are too busy to talk to you, send us an email.  Auto reply to email says, this could take up to 8 weeks for a response.  I then called again and said well how much shall I make a cheque out for because if it takes 8 weeks, that will not be the full years rate - they didn't know.

    Anyway, eventually I got a response and it was the VTL308 that needed to accompany my application along with the return of my old plates - now sent and just waiting and waiting and waiting.

    They sent everything back to my home address, completely ignoring my VTL301 application address, good job I hadn't moved house.

    If this annual renewal causes such backlogs, why don't they do rolling renewals throughout the year, i.e. whether you apply in Jan, March, July, or December - it is 12 months from then - same as normal RFL.

     

    You would have been better not reapplying

    Some old chap with grand kids / new family think it's the bargain of the century & from a main dealer it's got to be a decent car!....

    What's funny is independent car dealers get bad names & called all sorts well as main dealers are perfect and offer quality cars... 

    I bet it stinks of kid puke and stale milk.
