  1. I was tempted this week by a mint 14' XF Portfolio 3.0 S that was 14.5k CapClean but sold for 8k cause the engine was knocking Body was mint. Could have had an engine fitted for 1500
  2. You should consider getting a logo. You'll find someone on Fiverr, who will design you one for a Fiver
  3. Hold on. 12% of the sale price ?

    Doesn't everyone know this anyway, because they like cars ?
  6. Upto a point about 2/3 years ago all the MOD cars sold for a disproportionate discount. Not any more!
  7. Yep - funny you say that. Years ago I was in Bedford picking up when a 3 year old Legacy Diesel drove past in the yard knocking like crazy. I don't even look at them now.
  8. I think they're ok after 2014/2015 From day one there was a lot of the early cars in the non runner section
  9. D5 engine is lovely. Rubber caps over chrome valadium bolts under the bonnet
  10. And when the punter turns up they'll still chip loads off
  11. It's interesting I was at a UKCG auction yesterday and there was a 2012 Merc C220 CDI Coupe AMG Auto, 44k, Silver, Very Tidy Cap Clean : £10,850 Sold : £9200 I wonder what they gave for it in order to sell at £1650 under Cap Clean?
  12. You shift them quickly and you're honest with your videos : 'no major dents or scratches' I'd love to see what that translates with on £10-12k 6 year old cars in real life. If I'm ever up your way, I'll be sure to ring first !
  13. Depends on the miles, £9500 for a clear car sounds punchy for a 5 year old Polo in a frock. Also the problem is that these really have to be S Line and black/white. It could end up hanging around for a while, and it seems the guys who sell repaired cars do it mainly through deception and not using the correct reg on Autotrader to avoid it from being flagged.
  14. offer them Half Cap Clean to retail at 2/3rds the going rate.
  15. You should have been at Perry Bar yesterday. This stuck in my mind, 2008 Audi A5 3.0 TDI Quattro, 100k, £3k sold Cap Clean was £4k, and I'm certain it would have shifted on for £5k Also BCA Measham last week, 2011 Audi TT 2.0T, 80/90k, Black, Grade 3 but tidy enough. £5.1k Clean AA mech check Capped at £7800
  16. Well I made it to the auction and this so called Grade 2 was really what they used to grade as a Grade 5, back 5-6 years ago *Every*Single*Panel Engine sounded alright, but I have my doubts. Plug-n-play In the notes was the code for the pedal
  17. Amber It has a fault on throttle pedal which I thought may just be them covering themselves
  18. Looking at a Merc C350 CDI which the mechanical report : Engine Running : Requires some attention Car is FSH and likely to be decent ?
  19. Swings and roundabouts. Those BMW cars all had problems with the diffs and gearboxes.
