Advise on wording when selling a car
I need to sell my car, luckily have a new car and don't want the expense of paying tax, insurance and repairs for my old run around. I've had the car for 18 months and it's been reliable as a runaround for the family, however I'm not sure how to word the advertising whilst being honest but also making it an attractive…

Sluggish seeming petrol cars
It's been a while since I bought a car, but I am really going to have to bite the bullet and replace the 14yo Rover 200 I'm using as a runabout soon. I don't do the miles to justify a diesel, but looking at things on paper, I can't bring myself to pay money for anything with a petrol engine either - is it just me, or on…

Old outstanding insurance claim causing renewal issues
Hi, Back in Jan this year, we slipped on the ice at less than 5mph when trying to apply brakes, and touched another car. I do mean just touched, as we sustained no damage and I could see no damage to the other car either at the time. It was the most minor of incidents. So we didn't expect anything to come of it. 2 months…

Substantially less petrol in tank after fuel tank replacement
Know of someone who recently took a car to a garage for MOT and it was found the tank was leaking. There was over 20 litres in (fuel gauge near 3/4 mark), yet on collecting the car the fuel gauge was sat near the bottom. They said some of it may have been spilled or an excuse along those lines. I suspect there's a chance…

At less than 20 though usually it's a declined quote or £5000 or something stupid. I've tried using different dates of birth as it's my birthday soon, so I'd put another month on just to see what…
