    A dealer told me, we buy any car sell their cars at auction and their model is that while some cars may make a loss, on aggregate their stock makes a proifit. (I was told this 13 years ago though).

    My experience with car finance just made me realise I don't like newer fancy cars. The short version is that I baught a 2014 ford focus zetec s on finance. Originally put my 2007 fiesta as a deposit. Before collecting the car decided to just pay the £500 deposit and kept the fiesta as a run about. Had the focus 10 months and sold it 2 months ago. Replaced it with a 1993 mitsubishi delcia. Lost £3,000 on that focus. But it was a valuable life lesson.

      @Cheeky-fingers 11 днів тому

      I bought a car being told it was not compliant. I had to go to a meeting in Heathrow so went online to pay to find out it was compliant. The last owner was insistent it wasn't and was part of the reason they were selling. You need to watch Autotrader for this as they also had it as non compliant.

    I really don't understand why people keep on defending german or french branded used cars. And then start to list all the things they had to fix! ??? What gives?
    Those cars are NOT reliable.(specially after the warranty has expired)
    Just buy a Toyota, Lexus, Mazda or Honda. Much better. Consistently higher quality mechanicals. You know, the bits that actually matter. Nothing much serious goes wrong with those Japanese brands.
    (I deliberately left out Renault-owned Nissan)
    I used to own a (UK-built!) Auris hybrid. Most reliable car i ever owned!
    Now i drive a Lexus ct200h. It still has to prove itself but it's doing great as well. Not exciting by any measure but bloody reliable and cheap to run. In times like these that makes a lot of sense.
