Selling Car-Private Sale
Hi, hope I've posted this in the right place. Advice needed! Hoping to sell my car this weekend. It's a 10 year old car with high mileage. It has also had 2 lots of cosmetic repair work. The price reflects all of the previous. We have been 100% honest with our description. Any issue has been stated in the advert. Pictures…
Best time to buy a car
I am looking to buy a new car as I need a bigger boot for mum's wheelchair. I have previously bought Skoda ex demos, which have been fine. I am going to test drive Dascias this weekend, but will probably sell my current car privately, so no part ex needed. I can buy new or used, and be paying cash. Would it be worth…
Buying a car with altered spec.
I was a bit puzzled on what to title this post. The question is, if buying a car where every single one made had a feature lets say heated folding door mirrors. Ever since that model of car was manufactured they all had the feature. If buying that model of car would you expect it to have that feature or should the buyer…
Car finance-does it have to be in drivers name
I'm slowly building up my credit rating but it's taking time. I've tried 2 car lease companies and been refused by both. Were now looking at HP, but are wondering if it can be put in my wife's name rather than mine, or a joint policy. My wife has a very good credit rating. Not quite excellent but not far off. We…
Cheapest place to install parking sensors professionally?
I would like someone to be able to install parking sensors in car however I want to find the cheapest quote. Halfords have quoted £64.99 for fitting cost and EchoMaster Rear Parking Display System at £60 so in total £124.99 which is quite expensive. Anyone know of any cheaper quotes?
Coolant leak - repair or trade in?
Hi, I have a 53 plate ford fiesta with 91k on the clock. Bought 2 years ago for £1k thinking it had no problems and changed the cam belt. Someone before me has sheared a bolt on the coolant housing hence the ongoing leak. The garage has fixed this short term using a sealant and this actually lasted a year but it is now…
Penalty Charge for stopping in Box Junction but in severe road closures and traffic diversions.
Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me can help. Back in September I traveled up to London for the final stage of the Tour of Britain cycle race. I'd arrived nice and early (Sunday morning), intending to park close to Regent Street but I'd underestimated the chaos I'd encounter. Huge sections of roads were closed…
Legal rights regarding sale to We Buy Any Car
Hi everybody, On Monday I sold my car to WBAC, which I've done once before. I know the price isn't great, but I was looking for something hassle-free as I had a sharp deadline, as we're moving to Spain. I accepted an offer just shy of £2700, received a purchase invoice, they signed the vehicle into their name with DVLA…
