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!

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.

Never less than £100 on ebay, even with no tax and MOT.

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.

Thats the killer. I've bought a lot of cars under £1000 and most are around £600-£700.
The only thing I really bother about is a long MOT. As do most people looking at this price range I'd suspect.

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.

Sorry but with no/very little MOT a car is worth less than £300 to me, and the same for most people.

Despite tax being £120 for a year?
