I looked at auction prices when my old Fiat finally reached the point of no return😢 then for the first time in my life I forked out for a new car. Up until last year I always got lucky at auction so I admire you trading on

the cheap market is euro 5 diesel if your not near a ulez zone that charges, i bought a merc e250 cdi coupe with 106k and full upto date service history for £2600 from a main dealer, the small cars are over priced
@DanielGallivan-qt3fz7 ай бұрын
I was having this conversation today with a friend Chris and totally agree, everyone's fighting for the same small car scraps resulting in them being overpriced and unprofitable. I haven't bought any diesels at auction yet because the potential pitfalls scare me, but l have had to start to consider that market if they go for the right prices.

Got to watch out for water wicking along the cables into the fusebox from the windscreen washer bottle pump on the jaguar of that year. 2012 -2016 i believe. There is a way to stop it before it happens though. Need to put an electrical join in the pump cables to stop the wicking.

As an XF owner myself I would say its not the car to go for if fuel economy and low running costs are your top priority - a Yaris would be a better option🙂 The XF has a many other qualities that I personaly am willing to pay a little more for in terms of fuel and running cost although I've changed the pads and discs myself which is not difficult and reduces costs. The Seat looks OK providing the body repairs aren't too spiteful! but you've a few contacts in that area now.

In Canada where i live, if the car has been in a accident our insurance will only fix it if the damage is below 70% on the value of the vehicle. They might go to 80% if the vehicle is in exceptional shape. If the damage is more then 70% - 80% it is a automatic write off. I also do not understand why people do not keep the paper work for repairs done on the vehicle. I keep everything including receipts for light bulbs.

XF wheel wobble under braking is a common issue. The cure is to fit EBC RedStuff or YellowStuff brake pads. The TPMS module, under the seat, can also be troublesome. With the leather dash and alcantara it looks like a Portfolio trim. So, a 3.0D S Portfolio is the one to have.

@@ChopsGarage if its that older 1.2 Polo you are referring to that featured on your channel then its a different engine to the modern 1.0 litre engine. Most manufacturers specify an acceptable oil consumption figure of 1 litre oil/per 1000 miles of use, that doesn't make it right or indeed that they will consume that amount of oil. If an engine consumes that amount of oil then there is something wrong with it, ie excess clearance between the bore wall and the piston rings assuming there aren't any leaks or the valve guides aren't the cause of the problem.👍

Hi like your videos, will buy any p s you want rid of, my only gripe is your website, so every time I look for motors I scroll through DOZENS of cars I might have been interested in, as a previous small site owner I o ll that does is piss off potential buyers, usually dealers leaving 80% of vehicles advertised that are sold is either laziness which yo certainly aren't! Or arrogance saying 'oh look what I've sold' of which you don't appear arrogant in! So PLEASE update your site regularly and have cars which peop CAN buy on, but keep it up the good work
