The reason? No one will insure an…

However when checking the MOT history, no car was found against it's plate (private), and no insurance was held on the car.…

Experience selling a relatively expensive car?
Hi, looking to get a new car soon but the offer from the dealer is less than satisfactory. I ran my car through Webuyanycar and it came out at the exact same figure so I guess my dealer uses that site to price check. That site seems to be for people who are desperate for a very quick sale. I've checked out ads on…
