    What chance of getting my deposit refunded on a used vehicle?

    Yesterday, I paid a deposit of £3000 to a mercedes dealership for a CLS costing £19k. This was my first BIG mistake as they only asked for £1,000 but said that I could go up to £3000 on credit card if I wanted - so I paid the £3,000 to get those extra points! When I got home I thought I would...

    Special Vehicle services

    I seem to have found some OEM ribbed mats in the right colour for sale at a company called Special Vehicle services. Special Vehicle Services Ltd I've not heard of them before - has anybody used them or know anything about them? The name's familiar but I just cant remember where from.

    Vehicle Inspection

    I had a bad car buying experience over the weekend, which I want to get off my chest. We've been looking for a 1-series hatchback :ban:and I rang a well known local(ish) independant BMW online showroom on Friday about a 1 year old, with very low miles. The call went ok, the salesman went out of...

    Vehicle Registration Date

    I have ordered a E coupe that is due to be deilvered early December. For obvious reasons I would like to delay pickup + vehicle registration date until January. I reckon when I come to sell this car in about 18months it could be worth £1000 more being a 'year' newer. However my local friendly...
