• Why do people.... 24 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  The company is going bust for a very good reason. Think Yaris' are desirable by young drivers? They're for 70 year old women. And they have no character. And are expensive. (same for Honda Jazz) Use large insurance companies for their car insurance? Its usually more expensive than using a specialist. Still use Kwik Fit/National Tyres?

• My day. 10 Jul 2001 (Forum)
  Aroung July each year I have a bad day, a very bad day, Today was that day. The worse car I look after comes for its yearly MOT/service. It's a 10yr old Seat Terra. For those lucky enough never to have noticed one they are cheap copies of a Fiat Panda in van form. If you have any concerns about trim quality on any current mainstream car just sit in one of these for two minutes without breaking somehing, that'll put things in perspective.
• BMW 5-Series E61 Touring (2004 - ) - 25,000km report BMW 530d 9 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  This engine revs and offers torque instantly, a big and unexpected improvement over the old one. Onto the i-Drive. I liked the old i-Drive, the simple top level menu hiding bewildering complexity underneath had an element of the old GEM graphical user interface from the 80s Atari home computers about it.
• All cars - Administration charges - why are they allowed? 28 Apr 2019 (Forum)
  Im aware that quite a few car sales garages are adding circa £200 administration charges to their cars both old and new. Now obviously with haggling ( i said id walk and find a dealer who does not charge extra rather than pay) you can get it removed.

• Roadside Car Sales - Legal to park ? 28 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  Why is that? Could it be someone complained he is a trader? I read somewhere here that there is an old law which states it is illegal to put up a car for sale on the public road or something similar. Is this true and what is the law called? {subject line altered to reflect content - PU }

  I have sold a car on ebay (old banger, £200) to a guy from Poland, who's taking it back to Poland on a car transporter. Do I just mark it as 'permanent export' (section 11) says 'I declare that the vehicle will be exported on the date shown opposite.'
• Need opinions for car rejection 12 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  Hi I am at present discussing with my solicitor the if we could reject my new Lexus IS250.( 3 weeks old 250 miles) The law states that if the car is of unsatisfactory quality as judged by ' the average buyer' then it can be rejected. The question is if you had bought a car and within 10 minutes it developed rattles that required extensive repair..ie dash removal and now replacement Removal of front door trims and modification And lastly now taking the b posts apart to look for loose wires etc would you consider it reasonable to reject the car.
• m40 burnt out car transporter. 31 May 2005 (Forum)
  Well the old M40 was a mess tonight. Burnt out car transporter northbound near stokenchurch. It had been a big fire, every car (at least 6) was a smoking shell. Hard to tell what they were but all were estates, and judging by the rear light holes high up the rear pillars they looked like Accord tourers, possibly volvos.
• White cars and rust 16 Oct 2001 (Forum)
  I can't understand why anybody orders a white car anyway as I don't think any model of car looks good in white, I would rather have the much maligned 'doom blue' colour!

• -- - Pcp 23 Dec 2020 (Forum)
  Hello I'm about to take out a PCP deal which I know I can afford but just wanted to see what others thought about PCP? My experience with buying older cars for cheap isn't great as maintenance becomes expensive so I've decided to purchase a Suzuki Swift boosterjet engine which is two years old on this deal.

• Best Depreciation Calculator 15 Nov 2020 (Forum)
  Looking for something similar to the depreciation calculator tool on CarEdge.com  Particularly like that it shows depreciation as a graph and let's you select how old the car was when purchased.
