    And if she absolutely needs one I just took a 2016, 19K miler in part ex, no issues, wheel refurbed, LL16XAZ, black, black wheels, red roof, hers for £8500

    This is the exact car my son is nagging me for, thing is I know how crap they are, I had a 13 plate earlier this year where the conrod shot through the block! Not to mention the security issues with the mickey mouse keys and the fact that scallies love to steal the bumpers and skirts off them.

     Now added to watch list

     

    Narcos and Breaking Bad are the best ever for me

    Love both, tip for you "El patron del mal"......... Another escobar series, it's even better, was genuinely gutted when I got near to the end of it.

    I've not found buying that bad.

    Yesterday picked up an 11 207 1.6 HDi allure for £2300, 43k on the clock, 7 stamps.

    Or is that too rich for some :)

    Then lucky enough to be offered a 2013 Clio  1.2 MediaNav in black with 35k, full main dealer history incl cam belt change. That's a regular customer of mine. Then finally a 2012 1.2 Fabia estate today with 54k on....probably paid strongest money for that at £3k.

    TBH I've got more cars than ever, forgot where I've left some of them:lol:

    Where from, and if at auction are these prices inclusive of fees? All I'm seeing is silly prices

    Auction 4 cars is expensive at times too cars close to dealer money .  

    Damn right, everything starts around 400 under cap clean but often needs loads of prep! When bids go in and it shows how many are watching each vehicle then you are up towards retail money! 

    A4C don't even require proof of trading to sign up so I'm adamant that doorsteppers galore sign up and are happy to make a hundred quid or so per unit.

    When this saga started back in March the bottom arm, door check strap and tyre (which was legal anyway) were changed. When I refused the radiator as it wasn't leaking, cleaned the pas pump off and told him the condenser and pas cooler was only cosmetically damaged due to its location behind the skid pan he didn't like this and started with his court threats. After seeing how this was going I told him to stop corresponding via telephone and instead to use written letters via recorded delivery only, between then and yesterday there were a series of letters back and forth and his court threats continued, he then started the process and I no longer had to write back and forth to him but instead to the court etc. 

    @casper a different mot station has been used for its last mot, I informed him of that yesterday, I also informed the mot station of the situation and why I was unable to not take it to the one I usually use (he was fine about this), furthermore I paid him for the written report in response to that of Volvo. 

    I really have tried to do my best and to my limited ability but I'm no legal eagle let's face it.

    The car had a new mot last month along with a report from the garage in response to the one made by Volvo. He insinuated that even The Volvo report may not be considered as expert evidence as they may be biased towards the claimant (for financial reasons obviously as we all well know), I will look at all 3 assessors credentials before choosing one and even asked if he can ensure they are not from the area in which he resides. It's doubtful he knows 3 mechanics in a given area who would all be willing to lie on his behalf and I've insisted it gets carried out at my premises (I still have the vehicle also) with my mechanic present to ensure there is no foul play or sabotage even (OK I know this may be a step too far but I'd rather be safe than sorry as this may be last chance saloon). 

    Thanks once again everyone, I remember Mark101 saying once that it can be a lonely job at times and that statement has kind of sticky with me throughout this episode.
