  1. Absolutely loads in my experience. Exactly Truth
  2. What about those who aren't quite so au fait with technology and you're pushing for a deposit on the phone? Worth taking a £2.00 hit on card charges or is that not a problem with your buyers?
  3. Don't buy green cars. CAP don't tell you that.
  4. Erm, don't you actually need to know something about cars to do this ?
  5. Presumably, you have already tried resetting it?

    Ask your non-trade friends if they have ever heard of them..
  7. How many cars behind the house?
  8. That was worth your price regardless of titled owner or not.
  9. Might be market rate but seems like a lot of money for a high mile, complicated car. MPV people either want them dirt cheap or box fresh.
  10. MSP - are you trying to say that people trading end of life vehicles for profit but offering no value to customers are missing the point ?
  11. All the farms here are listed with surveyors and estate agents looking for commerical money 2000 sqft sheds = £15000 p/yr
  12. Where is that ? Northumberland ?
  13. TBH I think you did well getting £11,400 for it
  14. Exactly, no PDI would reveal this problem unless driven for a week so crazy to say wear and tear. The fault was there at point of sale. It doesn't occur that quickly
  15. 4.8L is the 750i, which is the N62 engine which quite regularly suffers from valve stem issues creating increased oil consumption... Ran low on oil

    My guy (also ex BCA) covers the Midlands and charges £50 for cars upto £10k (and more over) He often buys 50+ in a week and finishes when the auctions finish Not bad work
  17. It seems like they have come down a lot this year, they were making £8k last summer and had done for a while. I'd price it at £6500 possibly more depending on spec : air scarf / larger wheels / nav
  18. Agree on being cautious in regard to the problems of this engine, but it's worth way more than £6k retail with those miles.
  19. Bloody heck, you see some S60's only make £200 at auction
  20. get the codes read, poss levelling sensor
  21. People trying to buy into a scene / CGT free investments I always ask where were these buyers 7-8years ago? I remember a garage in my village ( now long gone) that had a E34 M5 3.6 in the window for almost 2 years.
  22. Steering wheel may need recalibration
