Will soon be better equiped than a gt Are you respraying it?

Thing is, the car is cheap as chips already. A kuro GT with alezan and 37k for £8800 is very cheap and most probably due to the issues noted..........

Ooops

I think there are massive diffences in one persons "empty" and other peoples. Some people fill up when there is a quarter left, some when the light comes on, others when the ------ comes up. I used to do 500 miles a week in mine and 400+ miles from a full tank before the light came on was very hard to achieve even driving conservatively. I once, out of neccessity, did 360 miles untill the light came on and then 70 miles on the --------- but i had everything turned off and was riding the clutch downhill at every opportunity

You forgot to mention. Dont crash the car on the test drive Sorry Merry Christmas Liam No,no your wrong. Crash it then offer them £5k for it Happy Christmas Dave

Be friendly. be knowledgable to the point that your telling him things about the car/marque. Don't tell him your budget and if he asks, lie. Tell him you actually have the cash in the bank to do a deal. tell him you REALLY want it. be prepared to offer him example's of similar cars that are cheaper ( have print outs of ads if needed) be bold, don't be scared of offering him a lot lower than they have it up for sale. If he gets angry then that isn't the place to spend your cash. On the test drive, appear underwhelmed. Sales people look for "buying signals" such as enthusiasm on the test drive, willingness to talk about finance and how quick they could have the car ready etc. Deliberately drop these into the convo followed by lines such as " I wish i could stretch to afford this" etc etc. The key i find is to take control of the conversation.

Stick a proper intro up in the intro section

Are the wheels the 17" JDM's?

Maybe......although I was at a Nissan dealers on Saturday. They had a 54 plate GT, azure with 24k miles which was on the forecourt at £12k. That came down to £11.5k within about 2 mins. I think if I handed them my switch card they'd have done it for £11k. And that's at a Nissan dealer. I'd imagine that when the realisation that a new one can be had for circa £20k, the used market will start to reflect this. I priced up several over the weekend and at the moment it's now cheaper to get into a new one on a decent PCP arrangement than it is to buy a cheap used one on standard finance. Scary! But £11k isn't £10k I think you'll find the reduction of the cost of new zeds will only affect zeds about two years old or younger. the older zeds e.g 53/54 will continue to hang around at the £10-£12k mark. Its 07 onwards cars that were trading around £17k-£20k+ that will feel the initial hit as who would buy an 07 when you can get a 09 for around £19k..........

I got told that supplying my own (higher spec) oil and brake fluid would invalidate my warranty

At least I have different ones

Good god how many times have we seen that picture

Not neccessarily

Gonna struggle to get all that for £10k imo.

Thought so

One thing to take into account is that I'm sure with a vortech you can return the car to stock if needed which you can't with a TT..........

neodc, are your shoes uneven? every photo is at an angle

Last minute bump

Is that on the rear wheel arch. If so aren't those kind of double layered meaning that the usual Dent Tec guys can't actually get to the dent from the inside? I had a trolley ding right on the rear wheelarch and was tolf that it was impossible to get to from the inside.....

Read my mind, I'm off down the local BCA which is only about 5 miles away. Will hopefully get an idea what stuff is selling for? You don't have to be trade to go to the BCA do you? How go you pay for the car? Full amount on the spot or what? there is a sellers fee for the bca...i think its a small % of the purchase price..not sure....but full amount should be paid as far as i know...unless you can contact the banks that are selling the leased cars and work out an arrangement with them outside the bca...bca has specific days for each bank and main dealer chains....so depending on what you want to look at..you will have to pop around often to scout the stock. I know RBS mostly finances mercedes...Lloyds (Black horse) is another major finance house on the auctions. Main dealers also auction part ex cars off the forecourt on specific days. its a good buy if you can sneak in a good price..be careful though. Quite a few private buyers are around pushing up the prices and traders dont like private buyers hanging around. Yeah I've just found that the BMW group have a day coming up with 500 cars so should be able to find something in that lot......... How do auctions works? Do they start at a guide price? Do they have reserves etc?
