  1. Use that to your advantage, mention £xxx to fix and offer him 500, its safe at that and will earn you a few quid traded out.
  2. It does say in the ad that she's a model and the shoot doubled up for the sellers cloth's shop, and anyway i always thought if something was in the window on show you would expect a comment
  3. It would do a 1000 -1200 at the block give or take a 100, drive it first - the drive train is not as strong on the 3.0 - can have gearbox issues same as before on s-types with higher miles.
  4. Its a strange one, those berlingo / kangoo drivetrains are pretty bulletproof easily good for 100k even with skimpy servicing, with 61k you will sell it quickly again no doubt for good money, best insist on a look first before refunding, something does not sound right here especially after you used it for 300 miles and you were happy with it, any idea's how many miles he's covered? and any idea what he's carrying / using it for? a couple of heavy full pallets would easily put a berlingo overweight hence possibly fooky clutch..
  5. Can we ask what the car is? If it was me and the car was a saleable 61k with franchise history i would refund and go again - but only after insisting it was returned for inspection, for all you know it could have been towing a searay down the coast all last weekend, ive had this lol. as mentioned its strictly a no no to not refund in full during period, however if you are fare and explain that the reality is that you have to re prep valet and its grown another owner etc then an offer minus say 3-400 will usually make customer agree knowing a refund is a coming, make a point of making them wait the full time qouta for refunding which on your part i think is 2 weeks? If you choose to fight the case start by looking into "their" garage, if they are not vat registered that can go in your favour come court day by you trumping an opinion with your vat reg garages opinion, "their" garage at this point could even be a know it all buys fook all type pub trader. being a van did you invoice it to him or a company name? i think commercial sales from company (you) to his company are outside the requirements of a warranty,
  6. typical week point on hyundai and kia after 60k, ive had one do this as low as 35k, best too trade it out whilst it's still a runner, as above if you replace the clutch the gearbox will not be far behind going too.
  7. I agree you wouldnt want a hobbyist to try it but if you see the pro's set up you would have faith, its all machines and specialist gear, the company i recommended are on another level regarding wheels, the set up is very impressive, they currently do work for bentley / aston cheltenham and i would imagine these folks dont take risks.
  8. I would tend to agree on this logic but if the right firm handles the job its fine, i would prefer a repaired OM wheel over a cheaper replaced set anyday, sadly when the dearer stuff gets damaged it does often get replaced with a cheap online set of new wheels which have nowhere near the strength of a well repaired OM wheel. hence the shock when we have all at one time asked the franchise how much one new OM wheel is, they are dear for a reason.
  9. circa 75-100 for one wheel, to get an idea of whats fixable put the wheel on your local tyre fitters balance machine, you will see the buckle, if it looks an inch out dont worry thats doable, cracks are fixable to, i had a set of quattro 18" wheels done which looked fooked on the balancer, results were perfect.
  10. A decent wheel shop refurb co will sort this out, not a mobile repairer, if you cant find one local i would recommend here for any wheel job - reinventing the wheel tewkesbury 01684291900, i've had some high end stuff with bad buckles sorted here, very good company ask for jeremy, they are quite a distance from you but a courier will solve that.
  11. 100% scam scumbags, stock pictures all lifted from elsewhere, - confirmed by fellow trader having one lifted!, they are onto it, hopefully these goons will get a visit from old bill.
