    Why? Is it poor parts coverage?

    I beg to differ tbh, I bought a car from them, found it to be delivered exactly when they said it would. Came as described with an Rac warranty. Can’t fault them tbh. I retailed the car I bought from them as it was cheap

    You wont get a referral fee I doubt if your not FCA registered . 

    Its Gabriel reports you haven't done , need doing if you do deals or not . 

    Why you had the fine . 

    Theres a portal you need to sign into , fill in the details of any finance activity your firm has done and submit it .

     

    The Gabriel reports are like pulling teeth, I made an arse of one a while ago but thankfully they called me. I managed to put down I had down 12 million pound of deals :ph34r:

    I'm sure this has been asked before...

    How do the auction companies get round the distance selling rules.

    is it purely because they are not selling to private individuals?

    Yes there are no business to business selling regulations from what I am aware

    :lol: Transits are dog shit

    At least it will get nicked before it breaks down though:lol:

    I think genuinely the only good vans are vw’s but I still bought a Fiat Ducato for myself because it’s cheaper and not that bad bar a few annoying electrical gremlins

    I've avoided them thus far, the Renault I would never touch, though I keep finding myself tempted by the Vivaro!! You see plenty of them on the road. How are the later ones? Anything specific to be aware of?

    The earlier traffics and vivaros from 53-06 used a Renault Laguna 1.9 engine were actually ok but from 06-13 they used a 2.0 which was bad for injector and timing chain issues.

    the newer 15/16 plates don’t seem that bad tbh, certainly no worse than a transit

  6. Ok I’m going to go against the grain here, I always buy this type of stuff, personally I wouldn’t buy a pre facelift Range Rover sport though as they are very dated looking now in my opinion. If you do buy a Range Rover make sure it is the 3.6 TDV8 as it’s a brilliant engine, not had many issues other than boost pipes cracking etc. They can be expensive to maintain but I love the driving position and comfort so I don’t mind it. If you do manage to stretch to a facelift try get a Bali blue one, it’s a rare colour and brilliant for resale point of view

    X5’s are also good, I would avoid higher mileage x35 d’s though as have had bottom end trouble with a few. Common for rear airbag issues but only £40 per airbag to replace. I would only buy an M sport model aswell and the 7 seaters seem to be the best sellers for resale 

    For all out reliability it has to be a Mercedes ML or Volvo XC90, Volvos are best on fuel but a bit underpowered and old manish. if you get a late 2011 Mercedes ML grand edition they look fairly fresh, have the nice piped leather inside and aside from eating abs sensors for fun I would say they are the most reliable of the bunch.

    Hi All, 

    Hope everyone is well!

    Just after some advice please. We have E350 Coupe sport that doesn't want to seem to shift! Have to say, it isn't one of our usual cars, we normally pick up, small economical's, Yaris, Fiat 500's, Honda Jazz, the odd mini. Ended up buying this as it seemed reasonable. We have had it for about 2 months, IMO it seems to be be reasonably priced, it is in excellent condition, well looked after FSH etc. We just aren't getting any interest. I wonder if there is anything on the advert that may be going against us or could it simply be engine size, road tax costs etc.

    Any advice would be greatly received.

    Thanks

    It’s rather mileagey and it’s a prefacelift which IMO are slightly dated.

    Centre caps look badly corroded and number plates look tired. £10 on eBay for a new set of centre caps, £15 for a new set of reg plates and then rephotograph on a sunny day though understandably that is hard to come by.

    That said don’t take my advice, I’ve been stuck with a silver e class coupe for about 2 months aswell!
