    996 is a solid car, especially the 3.6. IMS bearing is the only major concern. Sold a few with no major issues and also done work on a few. The GT2 is very complex though and best avoided.

    Of course any 20 year old car has exceeded its design life and potentially costly in future.

    That’s where I was coming from (about the age).
    Any component could fail now ( and they’re not cheap to fix)leaving a large bill, hence my comment about being a money pit. Just saying....

    Going back to the OP.
     

    check the T and Cs of your log book loan agreement, and let us know if you are free to sell the car. I think you’ll find your answer there About what you can and can’t do. Sorry but you signed them.....just saying....

    Really appreciate your advice, bought a couple of LED bulbs off eBay a while ago, useless, no beam pattern, bulb failure warning, got my money back.

    Will keep you posted.

    You will get the bulb failure warning coz of the lower current drawn by the LED version, this fools the car into thinking a bulb is blown. Another reason to sack them

    Tbh, you won’t get the same effect as a proper factory LED headlamp. I know someone who tried an LED bulb upgrade and he ended up throwing them away. If I were you, I’d avoid eBay, especially anything from overseas as very limited comeback

    Let us know how you get on.

     

    in your shoes, I’d look for a better halogen replacement, Osram do some called night breaker laser.
    About £22 a pair for H7s from ECP

    Why did the salesman say it was compliant?
    (You’d have been better off if he’d ignored the question...as it is, he’s dropped you right in it by telling untruths) 

    in your shoes, I wouldn’t let it escalate, the more it does, the more it’ll cost you....

    Hi,

    I am a young person working in a Mitsubishi dealer in the UK. I am trying to better myself and learn the campaign.

    Is there anyone that would be able to explain the campaign to a layman?

    TIA

    Best ask your gaffer at work. If he’s doesn’t get it, maybe ask the dealer principal.

    Well, I hope Marian is making a good 2nd income ( and declaring it to HMRC) though it’s gone  a bit quiet ....

    Mr Horgan seems to have plenty of talent in his family... good to see young blood coming through and doing well. You’ve trained them well, sir!

    As for CAP/Glass..it’s been said many times before,..the key way  to make profit is all in the buying....look for opportunities below Market value..sorry but  death and desperation continue to be good niches if you can hack it,to be in those areas of the market....just saying....

    Ummm...sorry , just read the entire thread.
    If the OP is accurate, then he could teach a few of us lessons in how to get such a great part time income

    but  sounds like he’s getting Great profits with very limited overhead, ( let alone VAT and tax, I’m assuming zero is currently being paid )
    Unsustainable outside of short term.

    you really need to start to declare before the time bomb goes off .

     

    btw, we’d all like to get hold of cheap, clean stock. Those who can, won’t share for obvious reasons!

     

    Good luck with keeping this up , keep us posted, mate. (Just so we can copy your trading model. lol)

    Hello i am a 21 year old university student thinking of buying and selling cars.

    I have sold bought a few cars here and there from places such as facebook market and gumtree. I am looking for more tips and sources on how i can be more successful. E.g how to buy cars for cheap, where should i look etc.

    Thank you 

    If you are serious about this,  you also need to consider to start declaring the profit and pay tax like everyone else does ..otherwise it’ll  come back and bite you later. That’s assuming you like to sleep at night ..just saying.....

    Written off straight away pulling it out of dealers lol. Yup advert clearly said previous owner had an accident car is damaged repaired cat S. No one took pictures besides me but they got deleted. Auction photos got deleted from website  2 months after purchase of vehicle.

    surely the price must be a factor as it’s considerably less 

    It has a carbon fibre shell, so maybe that had a part to play in the write off 

    Yes that’s right lol, unfortunately it’s not a wind up. Apparently he’s an alfa collector maybe just brought the car and is now bored of it, which I highly doubt, it’s one hell of an animal car tbh

    Damage was all down the passenger side and the bumper on the passenger side but the dent on the rear quarter classed it as a cat S. 

    The customer took it into a garage due to the wheels crabbing, during that time the mechanic told him that the sill is dented, since the crabbing is normal ( as confirmed by the dealers), his only basis for returning the car is the dent on the sill

    Got up at 6am to travel with the buyer to knutsford to have the inspection and spent the whole day there, car was not forced on him he chose to buy it, car was sold as advertised no deceit

    Definitely buyers remorse then....so you should be fine standing your ground,
