Guest Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 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.I'm well behind this behaviour tbf, conning a dealership after their "mechanics" look over it is quality stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Was wondering that myself, do you still need a paper VC5? Haven't a clue where mine is since everything else has gone digital. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetterlund Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I just sold my old motor on Gumtree a couple of weeks ago. The buyer did the change of ownership online and I got an email within a few minutes to confirm before he left with it. No need to send off the paper V5 afterwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it is a lot easier than dealing with the shower of twats that seem to frequent ebay, auto trader and gumtree these days. Life is far to short to be dealing with the twats offering half the asking price or a swap with a PS5 and a shoddy Corsa. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Agreed. Car dealers are, to my mind, wry definitely OsFTW but f**k doing their job dealing with the general public (lying whiny b*****ds) on a daily basis while still trying to run a business and make a profit somewhere along the way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Is the bottom of the badge hanging in the air? If so it's going to make it very tempting for some drunken ne're-do-well or child to try and peel it off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a look out of curiousity and a similar year/mileage/trim on my Astra is currently going for about £1.5k - £2k more than what I paid for it last year on Autotrader, dread to think what used VW's/Audi's are going for... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Back Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) Been toying with the idea of changing my car because second hand car prices are daft at the moment. WBAC are coming up with a figure of £18k for my 5 yo car at the moment so about double what it would be worth in a normal market I think. If I took it to a dealer for a trade in are they coming up with those silly numbers as well? Also if I chose a new car that wasn’t in stock at the moment and I had to wait a few months for it if all the finance/trade-in value was sorted now would the dealer have to honour it if the market suddenly turned normal and the trade-in for my car became a lemon for them? Not sure how it works if they just take your car away for the trade-in and could then leave you without a car for months while you wait on the new one.

Nah. They'd wriggle out of it, of course. The trade-in would be priced at the time of completion unless you're thinking of starting a market in car price futures. I have gone through a similar process to you with my 2013 Golf and have decided not to bother for at least another year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
