Sadly no ,although its expensive autotrader is the only effective media ,
Depending on how many cars you have ,it may be worth your while to advertise them individually .£42 for three weeks .per car .
At least then you don't have the expense of a website over Christmas when nobodies buying .
I was surprised to learn that my new Kia only does 35mpg. Even more surprised to see Honest Johns Real MPG guide. Confirming that I will never get over 40MPG as claimed by KIA. Why do we in the UK accept these inflated MPG figures when buying our cars. Surely if the figures the manufacturers claim cannot be acheived , isnt this misrepresentation of the fact. I see on google KIA is being sued by the Canadian Government by inflating its MPG figures on its cars. Any info on this? Read more

Hi
I was talking to a taxi driver the other day and I asked him how his Lancer was reliability wise, and he said great - he then showed me the odometer reading - 450,000 miles!! Is it possible that these Mitsubishi (Lancers,Carisma's - of which I own) of covering that sort of mileage without any major work to the engines??... Read more
Unfortunately in this clean clinical world the output from the exhaust pipe by today's standards was not acceptable by a long way.
At one time they made the blocks for the Peugeot,Volvo and Ford plus the pistons in Bradford the only difference was the colour the blocks were sprayed.

Don´t you belive it.
I Dunno. My mum's car that was grazed by a bus cost over £400 and that didn't look much. If an entire panel needs replaced and colourf matched, the costs can rack up.
