I may buy this Auris: www.partexchangesdirect.co.uk/used-cars/toyota-aur...2,

It turned out to be minor damage - a screw holding a clip in place had come off. I decided to buy the car with a lower price and full service/MOT to be done prior to collection. Many thanks for all your advice!

I am considering buying a 2010 Auris which appears to have a good service history. However the front bumper spoiler moulding is slightly loose from the front wings. It has a little bit of play in it.

There are pictures on the attached link and you may see an extended gap. ... Read more

Under the sales of goods act the description must be correct. They are trying to pull an old con by saying it's a trade sale.

If the Invoice states trade sale and the price is notably lower the what you would reasonably expect then there is some scope for the car being less than perfect. ...

I have a intermittant problem starting the car. I put the key in the ignition and sometimes there's nothing all the electrics are working (except sometimes the radio led display goes off) then after another two or three turns it starts and will start normally for the rest of the time. Is this the ignition switch or the radio or another electrical problem I have a1997 xantia estate 1.9 turbo diesel. Read more
