[quote=[Deleted User];32811605]Yeh, but 7 years with no repairs is good. Assuming warranty is decent.[/QUOTE]
Well no repairs but only those due to mechanical defects- all the other consumables and wear and tear issues will be paid for- some folk don't quite get that!0 -
Hi, I have now got my 106 on Autotrader, Motors.co.uk, Pistonheads, Preloved and Gumtree. Has anyone had any experience selling on these? did you get a lot of answers? are there any other big ones Im missing? Im not looking to pay for any more so would have to be free.
Thanks for any help guys.0 -

Well ive got it advertised as £650ono as ive discovered thats about right as with no dents/missing trim it would be £1200! and I have lower miles/newer/more work done with proof than similar. Its just finding a seller before the mot and tax run out in 12 days.0 -
Thats the killer. I've bought a lot of cars under £1000 and most are around £600-£700.Jennie-1987 wrote: »Well ive got it advertised as £650ono as ive discovered thats about right as with no dents/missing trim it would be £1200! and I have lower miles/newer/more work done with proof than similar.

The only thing I really bother about is a long MOT. As do most people looking at this price range I'd suspect.0 -

Yeh but thats why it is that price, with just the damage it would be like £8/900ish so Ive factored it in. Its had a new battery in the last 2 months, serviced feb, new break pads, new exhaust, new oil filter, new lots of things in the last 2-3 years and has PAS/FHS/CD player whereas the ones at the same price (with 3 months mot/tax or less) dont.0 -
Sorry but with no/very little MOT a car is worth less than £300 to me, and the same for most people.0
