It really wouldn't all morning !

Hello, I have a W204 2008 which will not turn over because the steering lock will not disengage. Car was parked on full lock to the right. Any pointers please ? EDIT : Ignore, just needed a little wiggle !

+VAT on Swiss cars

And if you advertised it on AT by registration it would list as a 2012 car

Dec 2012 car, not 2013 I know, I know..

May I ask why ? Sure is a long Thursday with only one lane and the site is a tired mess but some good buys from there Worse case scenario, there is a headunit on eBay for £150 Possible pleasant surprise if the battery was running low or a dash night switch (if they have them) was knocked on

Interesting, just as Mercedes introduce mild hybrids

I'd agree with that.

Used to annoy me how one of the London supermarket buyers stood beneath the rostrum atBCA Castle Bromwich and got everything he wanted for peanuts. He used to eat his lunch in the back room with the auctioneers and interrupted the flow of the auctions with in-jokes. I think the big guy with the curly hair has finally stopped 'up and down like a brides nightee' on *every*single*cabriolet*

It was relevant in the context of the conversation. So be it if anyone choses to take offence with the term. The high mileage niche is high margin. Just not entirely sustainable.

Does it have 150k+ and do you intend to retail it ?

Replied In fact I made a point that all part-ex cars are cast offs, which I of course buy. So you are barking up the wrong tree.

Looks very tidy. What was CAP Clean on that ? £6800 ish ?

?

No not you, but whoever you bought the car from.

It's a tricky one. Quite possible that the car was sold with the EML fault codes cleared for at the point of trade purchase, hence fault was present at point of sale?

Sounds like an imported car - quite common back then with all the car supermarkets

Fair enough, I liked your comment in response to Nick. It seems that your sales pitch begins to lower their expectations in line with CRA

Things like this in your adverts can't help - surely it inspires certain expectations? :

Not worth it in this instance 1) £6 taxi to train station 2) £23 train to Nottingham (2.5 hrs !) 3) £12 taxi to BCA Notts Not charged for fuel cause it had 1/4 tank but they had taken it home the night before and added an extra 50miles Ok with this being a cheapy, but its not on if its something of value. Also the driver came down in convoy with his Mrs in her own car for the return leg. Can't have been worth it for them

I thought I did well : 55miles for £47

They require regular fluid changes otherwise the actuators get gummed up and the clutch packs wear prematurely. The Fiesta / C Max / Focus (petrol) have a 'dry' system and are totally different.

Elbaite Green which was an exclusive colour for the A45 AMG and now they've started painting the white goods versions in the same hue.

'Lucas' you came over from China to set up as a car dealer in the UK ?

Yep - I remember back in 2011, a 4 year old Clio Campus would only cost £1600-£1850 to retail for £2895. Who is paying £5000 for a 5 year old VW Up ? They are based on the Seat Citigo which new sold in Spain for £5300 GBP a few years ago.
