Left Back Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Wee update on my brakes situation after taking it in to a local garage. Pads are fine, discs are a wee bit corroded but nothing to worry about. Sod all needs done at this point in time. Seems like Lexus are at it and trying to con me out of a grands worth of work that doesn’t need done. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it would look right being any bigger. If you feel like branching out on the super car route you could replace the bull of Lamborghini with Renton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe swap the Vauxhall badge for Peter Grant’s mugshot when we lift the title. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH33 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I traded my car in last week. I bought it for £5k in January (was a stop gap) and Evans Halshaw are trying to punt it for £6700! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A week later it was on Auto Trader for £1600. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the difference you get from trading in to selling its worth the little bit of hassle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just a lazy bugger though and like the idea of driving to the garage in my old car, and leaving with my new one. Also, if your car is on finance the garage will settle that all for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiepiemuncher Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I’ve always found cars around £1000 are easily sold on gumtree. Put an ad in and priced correctly your phone will ring off the hook. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just me 2 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Is it a hassle to sell a car through gumtree/auto trader? I mentioned it to my wife and she’s says if I want to do that I’ve to do it. What do you need to do DVLA wise? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeAreElgin Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Why do people trade cars in as opposed to privately selling them?Convenience and the ability to palm off complete shite guilt-free. Not sure I have the nerve to sell something to someone knowing it was fucked, car dealerships on the other hand? f**k them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
