  1. How do you trust others to make your buying decisions !?
  2. Have you got one of these in your shed ?
  3. No, older LHD cars sell for twice as much as RHD cars even in the UK. Didn't you just sell a LHD Jeep ? Not sure I said that !
  4. Expensive though to restore OEM diamond cut finish and is likely to corrode again within 12 months. On textured wheels like this, a decent cheap option is the shadow finish BMW wheels are finished in - black primer & silver paint. Top off with new wheel centres. Bingo
  5. Theres lots of studies about people living next to main roads
  6. The same place it comes from now. End of term PCP / Leases etc Nearly new cars are worse propositions for most people with higher monthly payments than some new cars with manufacturer contributions / 0% / min part ex allowance for deposit etc Exactly - judging by the drop in condition on nearly new cars over the past 8 years, they must be handing them out to idiots. I can see this happening. Compare the price of our used cars with the rest of Europe Across the continent, cars we consider £500 bangers are worth £2500+ !
  7. I wonder if there will be a surplus of nearly new stock when interest rates go up and lending criteria becomes stricter.
  8. Realistically if CarGurus / Motors / Gumtree etc fail to get any traction with all their capital backing, what makes you think you can crack it? PS. That's a rhetorical question. I already have some books to finish !
  9. The post if clearly copied from elsewhere with that particular formatting. Also, his username. 1975 implying birthdate but recently passed ? Right...
  10. Nick - don't you have an Auto Trader package ?
  11. Old fashioned orange VAX is one heck of a machine for vacuuming shampoo out. Quite often £80 new on offer
  12. You can guarantee it would be Uber'ing the same week
  13. I bet you could still flip that for £6250
  14. To be honest, loads of guys make a fortune doing this but they're less ex London-Corporate and more like your BBC Rogue Trader sorts.
  15. Yes, pretty much all the guys buying sub 2k cars at auction
  16. I take it you don't get TPS VAG parts up there ?
  17. They *never* buy after a RAC / AA report, who critique a car in a manner for the buyer to feel they are getting value for money.
  18. Fair enough. Typically CAT cars sold for 65/70% of comparable cars with clear title but I have noticed in the past year that on newer stock like this, this difference is getting smaller.
  19. Was it on the register ?
  20. Late, chunky stock has suddenly dropped a lot.
