Re: How do you choose a car?

If not repairable go for something left field... I would not follow the masses. Look for something that looks undervalued and then see if there are real issues.

Re: How do you choose a car?

is it worthwhile going back to DL and asking them if you can deduct a bit and keep the salvage and then repair it yourself / get the work done. A risk I know, however if the cobble has been thrown back and presumably hit the sump then how much damage can there be???? If you drove it with no oil or t...

Re: whats the most stupid MOT failure you have been refused
