Rich did you go to the motor museum at Bourton ? It’s about 50 miles from me so a nice day out when Dean is home. There’s also a small model village there
-
Did you get all the options you wanted ?
-
Nice one Rich, is it on the same site as your dad’s ?

WBAC was fairly low but in the end I negotiated with dealer to get just under WBAC. This saves hassle of getting to dealer which is 72 miles and : trains away…..

Well, CarWow was excellent for buying a car but for selling a car they’ve been a joke.
It started off as. 3 working days auctions from 8 to 3:30 each day and you have until 20pm to accept a bid. First day started ok but they extended auction until 10pm. I reduced reserve by £1k second day went the same, I didn’t notice but at some point reserve went back up ? Then yesterday was the same 8am until 10pm. Got up this morning and I’d had an email at 23:45 to say I’d had another bid but as it was after 10pm I couldn’t review or accept it 😢 What’s the point ?
Did have a call this morning to ask me if I wanted them to try and increase the bid. So I said yes but didn’t hear back from them. I did have an email on Friday from them asking me if I wanted them to try and increase a bid, I replied yes and said hoe
much by but never had either acknowledgement or reply

So I looked at the website for the place with the highest offer yesterday but not thinking of selling to them. Reviews were appalling, offer less than was agreed, wanted mire pictures etc. Put in my reg and details and got same offer, but it didn’t ask for condition or mileage ? There offer on CarWow was for fair condition ? Would rather sell it to dealer for trade.
Lets see what happens on CarWow today, I’ve reduced reserve by £500 which is now less than CarWow recommended reserve . …….
-
Just been looking at the offers I’ve had from CarWow and looks like they are not bids from dealers but CarWow have screen scraped my cars details to online car buying sites
-
Had a few low ballers to start !!!
We’ll best price today is £24964, my reserve is £27k so see how it goes the next two days 🤞
-
Well mines on sale with them today, had an email early on just phishing to see if I wanted to buy a new car without bidding on mine. But not had any bids, do you get them as they happen or at close at 3:30 ? Thought I’d get some low ballers early on
-
So it’s up on Carwow tomorrow, Saturday & Monday I’ve put a healthy reserve so let’s see what bids I get ( if any ). I’m taking out finance on the new one for 2 months for the contribution of £2250 from Toyota so time isn’t so important …..
-
I've been through the process with CarWow and can see what photos I need, so this afternoon a quick wash down of the black plastic and a photo session. Then advertise. I didn't realise it was auction but that's what it says ....
New car is with the dealer ( collection pencilled in for next Thursday ) so need to get sale going .....
-
Thanks for that Liner, think Motorway work the same for the bids. I’ll get both to give me a final price but not if they want photos and stuff for a car that is under 3 years old and done less than 3700 miles and is immaculate
-
Thanks for the warning Rich, I’ll bare that in mind
-
Well Motorway are offering quite a bit more than Webuyanycar. CarWow was best by a few hundred …… over Mototway ……
-
Well it's shipped from Turkey to Portbury docks, Bristol and then taken up to Derby for some prep. work. So hopefully ship to dealer in about a week. I'm not selling mine to dealer as they will only give me trade price so looks like CarWow or Motorway but will need to get a new price when it gets to dealer.

I saw a couple of videos and many pictures in the last few days of Hemsby, somewhere in Somerset where they have permanently closed the coastal road due to erosion and also a place up north somewhere - it's not good
-
I used to change them every 9 to 12 months, this one is due a service and MOT so thought I’d change it now and will probably look at electric in 2 to 3 years
-
Taxi drivers will have to find another car
-
Ok, thanks liner. I’ve seen other products that tell you to use nitrile gloves but not mask 😞
-
Seems like a Toyota decision as it’s a 2023 model sells in USA and Europe
-
The Prius is no longer sold in the UK
-
I thought I’d start a new thread to get some up to date products.
As the title says, anybody ?
I remember Liner got his BMW coated for free as compensation, do you know what product it was ?
-
Yes, back to the 1.8, I’ve only done 3700 miles in 2 1/2 years so don’t really need the 2.0.
Not seen the new Prius, will have a look later 😀
The mobile phone random photo thread!
