Compact SUV Possibly Hybrid - Please Clue Me Up 13 Aug 2021 (Forum)
It's the only diesel car I've ever owned. That too has served the family well. Times and finances have changed so much and we have an offer for the Range Rover. These days we do so little mileage, maybe 2,000pa? it makes sense to update and find something that suits both our needs and our wants much better.
Small cars were do I begin. 1 Oct 2018 (Forum)
Even though I'm inexperienced I'm not young I'm 32yrs old for many years my priority was to buy our first home together and now I'm in a financially stable sitisituan were I can now afford a car of my own , but I will be looking at used cars as I don't want to commit to finance deals I have saved over the years what I hope is a good budget of 10k.

My part ex has developed a fault after trade in 12 May 2014 (Forum)
I have asked if there is another way to settle this and he has said if I pay him another £600 he will accept it all as it is. His order form has no comments about vehicle roadworthyness, just current mot, no finance, and that I have title to it. He has signed it as balance paid too. From what I can see under law, as in this case I am now the customer, the trader has to prove that the fault was present prior to trading in not me otherwise.
Skoda Octavia vRS estate - Impressions after 2,000 miles 14 Jan 2014 (Forum)
But it is only slightly, and we still need the space of an estate, so this and the lower cost price, the 0% finance, the proper handbrake and the excellent dealer I use (Jewsons of Oxford, shortly to be rechristened Ridgeway Skoda) swayed it in favour of the Octavia. The icing on the cake is 40 mpg on a long run.

MINI Cooper S R53 (2002 - 2007) - Rejecting cherished MINI Cooper S 13 Nov 2008 (Forum)
I now have several other problems emerging that I am coming to see your service manager about tomorrow afternoon. Its annoying as when I agreed the finance with your salesman he told me how this car would only cost me a bit extra on payments per month than my previous BMW did. This is now not the case as each time I visits either dealership 1 or 2 I?
Vectra - How much do you reckon... 17 Sep 2008 (Forum)
...this is worth? In a rare event of organisation, I was looking at my finances over the weekend and whilst they are in a bit of a mess, things might not be as bad as I'd previously thought. When I sold the Focus, I took out a £4,000 bank loan, put some cash to and used the part ex value of the Focus to buy a Merc.

What's the point of the Hats?! 4 Feb 2010 (Forum)
Sales manager then asks if I'd like to buy it - 'yes' - but only if it's got a Bosch pump (or, at least, not the horror story pumps) and we wouldn't know until Monday when the importers could be contacted. "No problemo", breezed the SM - except that the special finance deal was coming to an end, and if we were to benefit from it a car had to be ordered as soon as possible (I know...I know) SM made suggestion - pay a £500 deposit to allow an order to be placed on the system - and if it transpired that the fuel pump was one of the dodgy brand, no problem, the £500 would be immediately refunded.

Mitsubishi Outlander-Could it be a failed DMF on? 24 May 2020 (Forum)
Trying to deliberately induce clutch slip - steep hill, manual mode, 1st, 2nd or 3rd gear results in wheel spin (2wd) or acceleration (4wd) with no detectable slip. Finally! The cars got a couple of years of finance left, so I can't really afford to ditch it at a loss. But I also have a warranty, however the nearest garage that is one of their "network" garages, that is even prepared to look at this is a Peugeot dealer - 100ml round trip (the 4007 was identical to the Outlander).
