New owner not available to sign registration docs
We've just sold a car on eBay and the purchaser wants to send a friend to pick it up. Consequently he won't be able to sign the new owner document - and wants the friend to 'sign' in his stead. Is this possibly a scam of some kind? Is it legal to have someone other than the new owner to sign this form? He will be filling…

Have the garage played fair?
A few days ago my wife's car was booked into a local garage for some work, having been recommended by several posters on a motoring forum as specialists in this particular model.

Parking sensors tip
I have just bought a car (07 reg) and asked about parking sensors. The dealer said that he would put them in for free as part of the deal. You have to pay about £100 for a kit plus fitting cost so I was glad I asked. Worth trying if you're buying.

However I'm unsure whether to go ahead and buy now or wait until after next week when the new registration comes out (61 plate I think). Obviously older cars will depreciate more with each new registration but by how much ? and how long does this…

Car purchased at auction, almost set alight!
Looking for some advice from you fabulous people. I will try and keep it short. I bought a car at auction about a month ago. It was sold as seen, which was fine and I had a mechanic look at it for me before I bought it. All seemed fine. On the way home we started to notice a buring smell. Took the car into the garage and…
