I always love reading what people say about the motor trade when they obviously know nothing about it! If you want to know just a little bit of truth. general dealer markup is 20%. there will always be more margin in a vehicle the dealer bought at trade rather than a customers trade in. If you can establish which it is you will have a greater ability to bargain with the dealer. they are not trying to pull your pants down, they are making a living, if they were actually robbing everyone blind they would be retired by now. Dealers pay 20% VAT on the profit they make. Most people dont ever think about this and slate the dealer for trying to make a fortune. CAP and glasses are trade guides, they are prices often based on what a car would make at auction or a sale to the trade (especially CAP). Dont assume the value you might get shown is what your car is worth, its worth what the dealer is willing to pay. Dealers do also get it wrong, more often than you might think and can loose thousands on a bad deal. last but not least, if you think a dealers job is easy then give it a try yourself and see how many sleepless nights you suddenly have...

Haha been there, wait until you wake up one morning ( in my case 11 months after birth) and realise the zed has to go. For me it was the realisation that i couldnt enjoy my car with my family anymore....

I have a new in box zspeed one i bought but never fitted if you are interested?

I have a set of standard 18's with no tyres, are you near north yorkshire?

Id Agree, all be it done very well it was just delaying something because of a paperwork error. i did chuckle when they made reference to the mortgage signature meaning you created the funds.... Ill cancel the direct debit now!

Is there even such a law as trespass in this country?

I got bored of ios and having already had android i opted for a windows phone. Probably the biggest waste of a 400 quid phone you could ever have. Looks great, works fast but is probably 5 years behind ios and android. They havent even got a fully functioning ebay and facebook app yet! As soon as im in a position ill be going back the other way again which is a shame because the 5 percent greatness of this phone is overshadowed by the 95 percent dross!

Yep, im pretty sure its green and white!

I know the 350 has a powered amplifier for the aerial. I have a similar problem but havent yet taken the radio out to check if i have the wire connected or not!

Id be interested in knowing if it can be done. I asked this a while back and it was generally deemed not possible without control units etc. Keep us posted!

I was also told of a change to the part recently although when I swapped my oil filter off the part number was just the same as the last one so I don't know if the number has supposed to have changed or just an updated part. it was him that told me about the update

Its on par with nissan mystic green. That was 640 quid a litre at the time although third parties did eventually get the mix and the price came down.

Id say 5 grand ballpark

2nd dibs on the D2 please!

I'd have guessed A85 URD on the reg plate.....
