pub car king Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Get rid of it with a ticket if selling privately, you can bring the mot forward you dont have to wait for the date. If you are trading in the dealers wont give a f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I'm currently looking into the prospect of changing my car and was looking into leasing. My current car is about 3/4 of the way through a 4 year PCP deal. The settlement figure is £10.8k and most valuation sites give a rough valuation of £11.5k and up. I'm therefore fairly confident that I'm in positive equity but my question is can I sell the car (either privately or to a dealer) and simply pay the settlement figure or is this likely to cause problems given the car is on PCP. My thinking is I would sell the car, pay off the finance then pocket the equity to put towards a lease but that seems a bit too straightforward. If anyone can enlighten me it would be much appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidernation Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Pretty certain you can’t legally sell a car that’s not yours? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I think you can trade it into a dealer who will settle finance/equity and trade you into a new one. If however you want to sell it privately I’m pretty sure you have to settle the finance first before you can sell it on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it wise to wait until I get the car through it's MOT (31/3) or get rid of it before? This will be the first MOT so I don't foresee many issues We have a Tucson and it is an excellent car,great driving position and comfortable drive.As for the MOT you can do that at anytime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No input on those models, but I have a Nissan X-Trail, which is comparable. Would highly recommend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Test drove a Tucson today, cracking car, very nice ride. Was all set for it but decided to test drive a Sportage to be sure and it blew me away, just as nice a car and a bit nicer inside. Think that's the one. Was surprised as I really thought the Tucson would be it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad has a Mondeo and the amount of space inside is unreal. Pretty sure it would be much better to drive than any SUV as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTJohnboy Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Anyone use one of these things? I've been thinking about getting one given the number of near misses I've had on the roads, since moving to the Greater Manchester area, after years of relative calm driving in and around Inverness. This device sounds like it could be useful but would appear to me rather bulky when stuck on a car windscreen. Certainly on offer at a decent price : https://www.gogroopie.com/all/1rrwiyi1ei1/_ggpprice_918C_280220_3in1dash Thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's £19.99, it's pish but will probably cause an accident by distracting you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Hahn Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Apologies if this has been discussed before on the thread. A neighbour recently dinged my car (we're 99% sure who it is but no way to prove it) leaving a small dent in the rear driver side door, close to where it meets the driver door with a small accompanying scratch. It's a Volvo V40 and, having taken it to the local Volvo approved bodyshop to get a quote, they've come back with over £1000. This includes removal of both doors, paint etc. Now, I'm really not a car guy but there's no sign to me that it needs paint and removing both doors seems excessive. Can anyone confirm or deny that this is as ludicrous as it first read to me? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
