-
Just noticed it this morning:( Also in reverse....pads front and rear replaced within the past month....mine a manual though....be interested in any follow up

I meant DVLNI off course!

Update:
He just left me a msg to say "let's call it quits" and that he's happy to keep the car. RESULT! Might have had something to do with the advice I took from this thread. Told him I had taken legal advice, and that under no circumstances would I be accepting the car back...and that V5 was already with DNLNI.
Thanks to all!
-
Cheers everyone, it's good to know that others agree. I honestly think he got a good little car, but I suppose it takes all sorts...will let you know how it pans out.
-
Thanks, Robmawer, car is definitely as described, in fact it had about 500 miles less, I ust rounded it up for the ad. Yeh, glad I came on here.....you're def right postmanpat, I have no way of knowing what he's been doing in it since yesterday!
-
Cheers too, postmanpat. Will walk to the post box later with the V5. It was filled out, he has signed as new keeper, I even gave him a receipt that he signed and I have a copy off...already starting to feel better.

Cheers mluton, thanks for a quick reply. Am of the same opinion.

HI all
Last night I sold SWMBO's '98 Escort LXTD. Asked £995 for it and accepted £880. Sold it privately. Car had 82k, MOT to run to Mar next year. Guy test drove it, had his mate with him and they looked round it. Asked what I'd take for it...I said £900. I even gave him £20 back for some deisel on the way home! Now regretting it. He called me tonight to say he isn't happy with it. Says second gear is crunchy and that the turbo is "broke" (his words). Basically told me I was a liar and had sold him a pup (reckoning I must have known the turbo was broke! which it isn't as far as I'm concerned) Apparently he feels the car is very slow for a turbo. Tried to tell him on the phone tonight that it's an 8 yr old Escort with a 70BHP engine not a boy racer machine. Incidently car has only done 1000miles since its last MOT and as far as I'm concerned is driving great. We had it for 3 yrs. Anyway he is demanding is money back. I feel he is wrong. The car was sold as seen (although the ad did not say this...not sure if that makes a diifference?) I did not make any claims in the ad that I can't stand over...also think it was priced to sell. Am off the opinion he bought it, had enough opportunity to test drive it and it was up to him whether he bought it or not. I can honestly say as far as I'm concerned he got a great little car ( my wife's run about). Anyway sorry for the moan but it annoyed me that he came on the phone and got quite abusive....any advice? Thought I'd come on here to vent my spleen?

Slightly off topic...have noticed my Superb (55 plate) Elegance's radio reception often wandering off station or picking up another station (faintly) in the background. Can be annoying. Driving mostly in and around town so not as if I'm losing signal off in the sticks somewhere?! Just a thought that occurred whils reading your post....sorry that it's not helpful, :(

Quite offensive to some.

No worries, he's living in my house! Kids must have left the back door open again....now where is that jar of peanut butter:)

Ok, ok I get the picture...but I had to ask! Now wher's that snake oil...

:confused: I was browsing Ebay and came across this fuel saving device from Italy. Supposedly works on petrol, diesel and lpg. Was wondering what everyone thinks. I am not that technically minded
so was wondering if anyone on here has any experience of it or similar. Cheers -
Yeh, wouldn't pay either! :( Wots the clip you're talking about? Is it only on the Fabia then??
-
Cheers...and thanks for the link to wiki....interesting reading! now in my favourites

Hi...can anyone help?:confused: Wanting to sell SWMO's little deisel Escort...1998 TD LX 5 door with 14" alloys and 81K miles. It's a Northern Ireland plate. Was looking online for a suggested selling price. I can get a quote from Parkers but only approx. It depends on whether it's a 1998/R or 1998/S? There's nearly £80 difference in the quote
so I'd like to know....ours is June 1998....so where does that fit in anyone know??? Thanks:D
-
Definitely agree with losing the playboy stickers! Looks all a bit "Boy Racer", well out off step with the Superb image...why mess with something that was 'superb' in the first place:confused: ...IMHO...you've turned a sophisticated lady into a tart....like I say it's only MHO.....if you like it then go ahead it's your money!:thumbdwn: ...but you did ask!
-
Ditto Billyg's comment. Got a great deal on an ex demo Superb elegance 1.9 td. Salesman couldn't have been more helpful. Was very happy on the T/in they gave me too on my Laguna. We'll see how first service goes and report back

Hi was there several years ago, so probably changed alot and anything I could remember would be of limited use now! Went with another couple and their kids as well as our family of 4. We had a great time and kids especially loved it....anyway the point is try Trip Advisor I swear by them for all our trips now...excellent site and honest reviews from real people Have a great holiday...Here's the link...
