If you ever consider selling your spyders, drop me a PM? Thanks

Lets hope this doesn't happen though

Fair enough, but if hypothetically, the car is involved in an accident before next week are they still going to take it as PX at the agreed amount?

Paid valuation from CAP says £14,550 to £15,150 whereas Glass's one is £13,473. I have priced it with Glass's as I think thats realistic

According to Glass's valuation the car is £13,473. If it was for the sake of a couple of hundred I wouldn't be too bothered. I think if they were to try it on then all that I would end up losing is the £250 deposit if I withdrew. Until I am actually on site & sign the paper work the PCP deal will not be valid. I'm not the sort of person who gets pushed into doing anything

Cheers, the car is immaculate so anything less than the PX offered, well I would be coming back up the road with it & demanding my deposit back too

Thanks, definitely worth a try

No that refers to what my local PX was against. Hence why I'm buying nearly new instead

Thanks for the thought however.. Last week I went into the local skoda dealer & got some figures against a citigo on PCP. I was offered £11.5K :( They have an almost identical one to mine in their showroom. I was offered £12.5K against a New Mini at approx cost of £20K locally. This is my train of thought too, If I can get a bit more for it privately locally, I could fly down & save myself some driving

George, I already have a guaranteed PX for it at the Dealers in Manchester. It will have the remainder of the Skoda Warranty as its only 8 months old. I have stuck it up on Gumtree & PH. Also did a CAP Valuation through Autotrader but that is unrealistically high IMHO so have price it as per Glass's Valuation

The screen price of the car is within the middle of the range that Glass Valuation says it should be - hence why I didn't try & move them on it. My PX wasn't far short of glass premium valuation I had done. However , theoretically I should be able to get £1300 more for it private. Just off the phone with the Dealer thats fine as long as I bring deposit Thanks for the advice

I have put a deposit down on a Mini Cooper D & am taking it on PCP over 2 yrs. I have agreed a trade in value for the VRS but the Mini Dealership are just punting this to a trader as they are not allowed to put anything other than Minis on their forecourt. Am I within my rights to still try & sell this privately? I am paying the advertised price for their car so there was no discounted deal struck that was related to a PX It would probably be next Tues-Fri that I would be travelling to do the deal. Any thoughts greatly appreciated

Just found you through the Shark Website have emailed you about possibly getting my VRS done

I snow foam the car leave for 15 mins then rinse. Then I use a carnubawax shampoo I bought from Aldi & a microfibre mit to wash it only takes about 5 mins for this. I then apply a wax spray & rinse this off then hand dry. Comes up really well everytime

Got some warranty work completed today. I emailed them about the issue through their website service contact form & they got back to me pretty quick. I was in on Friday to allow them to diagnose the problem & in today to have the motor replaced for my rear windscreen wiper. They were really helpful, friendly & courteous. I inquired about getting the first service done & was quoted in the region of £120-£130 which I found reasonable. Will be going back to see them when I'm looking to change the car too

Thanks for the comments but I'm 44 in April so don't think the young driver bit applies anymore :(

Agreed, I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue then

Yeah might ask if that's an option Cheers

I would only have the courtesy car for a few hours. My own insurance company Admiral wanted £20 to put the car on for one day

That's my take on it exactly. I will be looking for a dealer to do the first service later this year & even though this is the closest one, it does leave a bit of a bad taste.

I have booked the car into a local Skoda Dealer to get a warranty issue looked at. I asked for a courtesy car & they are going to charge me £15 to put me on their insurance. I didn't buy the car from them, however, as its warranty work (my rear wiper blade works intermittently) they will get paid anyway by Skoda. I have never been asked to pay for insurance before on a courtesy car. What about anyone else?

Thanks, thought it might only have 1 reversing light but wasn't sure

For a couple of weeks now the rear wiper works but somewhat randomly. If I spray screenwash on the rear window the wiper rarely comes on & If i fick the stalk back & forth it rarely works either. Then randomly it will just start working. Any thoughts on this? Car was bought new in September this year & has done just over 1200 miles Also a colleague at work commented that I had only 1 reversing light coming on when i was in that gear is this & the above something to get looked at under warranty? I take it the car can go to any dealer for warranty work as the dealer i bought from is a few hundred miles away?

Thanks appreciated. All sorted now. But will get in touch in the future if I need anything
