  • Thanks for your advice guys...

    Went to the auctions, great experience can get a renault megand or focus r/s reg for around £500.

    Car didnt sell on ebay but best offer was in at £850... What do you think, Oh and a swap for a megan coupe... that looks v v nice or is that me doing a boys and toys again?

    Ive emailed oe bidder who wants a price, so waiting for that, can get mine at $500 and OH a trainer car for a couple of hundred at the auctions....

    Oh and finally took the dip and sold my BOSE stereo on ebay and got £500 quid for it.. nice dining room suite and tv unit with that !

  • hello there chappies...

    Car sold.. Got just £800 - but looking on the bright side, Im going to the auctions tomorrow to see what they have.. I hope im back reporting to you tomorrow with a nice magane coupe parked on the front !!

    Any advice for the auctions guys.. Im brikking it !
  • You only got £800? you've been ripped off Mike,my DH joked about giving you £1000 for it,but said it was an insult.
    Hope you find a bargain at the auctions,I love them,I've bought many cars from them,some better than others,but never had a major problem thank goodness.Only advice is get there early and look at what's on offer,if you see something you fancy,check everything possible,take someone with you who knows about cars and don't get carried away,if it goes over price,WALK AWAY!!!
    Good luck Mike

    Make sure you carry a petrol soaked rag in a poly bag. If you run out, wave it round the filler cap and you`ll get another 20 miles out of it..:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
