  • Sounds more like Sheila from the 'Mercedes' episode of 'Friday Night Dinner'. Give it a watch

    Just had a quick look on the site MB, Lexus, Range rover, cars 17/18 plate but hig mileage ie 20ks at 18 plate but look yourself if 
    The common car brands there as well ford, vauxhall, etc
    10,000 miles in two years is not 'hig' mileage. It's less than average.

    It is in my books. The most miles we every per year in one car was 11k and that was years ago when we went to the beach etc almost every other weekend to take the kids out for a wlak etc.
    I'm not going to look the average mileage for uk drivers as thet figure is out of sync but most people we know hard do more than 5k miles - we have done 4 mile round trips but we have these cars and often do longer trips in our sons car and even that is not a lot more than 5k a year but we all work form home most of the time.
    Thanks

    That statement makes your four car ownership even more unbelievable.

    Why?  A four-mile round trip, so swap cars every mile.
  • The whole persona has got to be a wind up, surely?

    Re the V5 - I will take your word for it - are you saying this is then a kind of a trick to may you keep or pay hefty charges??
    It states in black and white in the Terms and conditions which you did read, didn't you?
    If over the 250 miles they don't guarantee to accept it as return and you are allowed only 1 free return a year.  After that there is a £250 collection fee.

    Here is the summary:

    Hey
    Watching the tv last night an advert caught my eye - usually I channel hop but the ad stated 'car delivered to your home, if you no like it, we will take it back up to 7 days, no questions asked.' or words to that effect.
    The ad reminded me of this forum and as an aspiring philanthropist I though of all the problems posters were facing with used cars. For sure, yes, problems can be hidden for a bit longer or lot longer but surely this is a good option.

    i have not looked at prices or ranges of cars as we don't do used cars for many years but thought this may help others.
    If anyone we know is chatting about changing, buy a new car, I will tell them about this outfit

    I won't mention their name in case it's seen as spam.
    HTH


    ps - Enjoy your ????? car for up to 7 days to make sure it fits in with your lifestyle. If you change your mind, just let us know and you can return it for a full refund, no questions asked.  (from the website)


    Which is it - aspiring or seasoned and respected?
