• Skoda - Nobody wants to sell me a car 19 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  Well, after visiting many dealers, none offered me sensible deal and none called back as promised. So, I am now thinking about selling me jamjar privatly and using Drive the Deal to order a car. A few Qs, would the supplying dealer hold the car once its delivered until I've sold mine? If it took a while, could I insure both cars whilst I sell my old one? I need the money I'm getting for my old car to pay for the new one, so ideally I'd either need a bridging loan or pay the dealer when I've sold my old one.
