• Dealer hasn't settled finance on PX 9 May 2014 (Forum)
  .  As part of the PX there was negative equity on the value of the car I traded in versus the PX valuation which I covered as part of the PX deal. My problem is that the dealer has not yet settled the outstanding finance on my old car as part of the transaction
• Quantifying the value of a warranty on a used car. 30 Nov 2013 (Forum)
  for a 1-4 year old car, I'm wondering whether warranty is something I should even be adding in to the equation, and if so what presedence should I be giving it? example: Given 2 equivalent cars in every way of the same make model and variant, a 10 plate for 11k with no warranty, and the same car
• Car battery questions 31 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  , battery was dead. It was restarted and has started each time since, but I gather that it is fairly common for cars left in airport long stay car parks to have flat batteries. The vehicle is over 6 years old now.) 2. What is the best kind of battery to get? I ask because the CBCB says "Beware
• Chrysler Voyager (2001 - 2004) - How do you know.... 29 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  fully adapted would be £54k ish (lowered floors etc). As there are so few of these types around how can we be sure that the price is about right? £18k for a 6 year old car is a lot of money!!! Any thoughts welcomed.

• Downmarket Car Auctions 5 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  I follow HJ's auction reports with interest and the low prices for almost new cars are a revelation. Well, as daughter wants a new car, I took the plunge and visited a car auction a long way from Blackbushe. I was hoping to get a smallish Nissan/Toyota or similar up to a year old. What

  The back end of my car has been severely dented by a lorry. I was stopped on the M4 and he ran into me. The car is seven years old with 140K on the clock, I cannot think that the insurers will sanction a repair, I feel it is not economic. In 2001 I paid £4.5K for the car and after three years I

• Car Washes and stupid people.. 1 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  which one to get ? Where do I get one ? There isn\'t enough of the old one left to use as a pattern, or at least not left on the car. Although if you are using a car wash near Loughborough and it beats hell out of your car with a bent and twisted lump of metal which might once have been an aerial

  Never ceases to amaze me. People buy a new car but only go over it and look in the boot for spare tyre and jack etc once they have driven it home. I also had the cam belt changed 3 times on our first gen Vauxhaul Zafira and never had the water pump changed once. Even when sold at 14 years old

  So I've recently sold my BMW 1 Series 120D M Sport convertible as I needed a larger vehicle. I now have some cash to buy a cheaper convertible too. I'm wondering what you all think about BMW 3 Series versus Audi A4, versus Audi TT, (all petrol models).? Had an old TT previously and loved
• Buying nearly new - what to check? 23 Apr 2016 (Forum)
  I have my eye on a 2015 car with 3.5k miles. I've bought used before, but nothing with any warranty left and not from a main dealer! I'm versed in the usual things to look at and questions to ask, but this is rather different to buying a 5-year-old motor. Obviously I'll be looking around
