    Lol, think shredding them would make too much of a mess and guess who'd have to clean it up!

    Update! I've found my MOT! Just thought i'd check the box than my DH said he'd checked. Guess what was in there! Yeaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Very pleased.

    how did your viewing go for the car? Sold it yet?
  • My car CD player recently died but the radio still works fine & its an odd size so its a dealer part & a nightmare to take out of the centre console.

    As an alternative I bought one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000CC3X1O/202-2136647-4291026

    Basically converts your car radio into an MP3 player. All you need is a usb memory stick.

    Nope, sadly not. Apparently they wanted it to be bigger?!?! Last time I looked the car I put up for sale was always a small car and didn't come with an extension. Still, we've paid for 6 weeks advertising and it will sell.

    Incidently, does anyone have any experience of selling cars on ebay? Is it worth it? xx

    I've put 2 cars on there but not sold either - just got loads of scammers asking if i'd take a cheque for thousands more than the car was expecting to sell for & then send them the difference with the car. :mad:

    I bought my current car off ebay though so obviously it works for some people.

    Hiya Kaz2904
    I don't think i'm allowed to say what I'm selling on here.

    I've had no more phone calls about the car but they will call! It will sell!

    I've sold my car, they've left a deposit and are coming with the rest of the money tomorrow. This means that once i've paid it into the bank we are officially debt free. I'm not updating my signature until the money is in the bank but needless to say i've very excited! Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
