L7 on a Lexus GS.

Thanks for all the replies. I got the car that I wanted. Never seen the engine nor test driven it so it was a big gamble, just llistened to the engine running while it was going to the auction hall and checked the dash for any fault. Also asked one of the trader there for the maximum amount that...

No, it's Jools which is included on the sale.:D

This is the reason why I didn't get another W202 after my one was written off. I've looked on several w202s year 97 to 2000 but did not see one without rust in it. My one was a year 2000 and been repaired twice using mercedes approved repairer but after few months new signs of rusts started to...

Thanks for the useful tips. Actually I've been to the auction place and now keeping an eye on one of their car to be auctioned which is the 2001 Lexus IS200 SE auto. The mileage is a bit high being 112000 but the bodywork is in good condition without rust but with a minor scratch on the rear...

Are there really good bargains there or should I just stick with auto trader? Richard

The second one is silver as well. I also like the first one with amg wheels though as most of you said, it is overpriced. What do you think is the right value for this one? I've got 4k budget and always looking for a fair deal. thanks.

I've just written off my C180 so I'm searching for a replacement preferrably the Sport model. Interested in these two, though it's a bit far from me (20 miles). Car 1 Car 2 Need your opinion please. What sort of price should I offer them should they be in good condition. If the car...

Hello. Phoned the engineer today who was offering me 5K for the car and tried my best to persuade him to add more value to the car but seemed like he wasn't prepared to add anything, well at least he went up to 5100 pounds. Still didn't close the deal so might phone him again tomorrow. Richard

Good afternoon everyone. An update. Taken the car to the garage yesterday, they've had a look at the car and warned me that the insurance might consider it as a write off ( almost can't believe what they said). Had a phone call today from the Halifax engineer passing the message that they are...

Good evening. Thanks very much for all your advices. Phoned Halifax this morning and was told that they will claim from the insurer of the person who hit me and the vehicle in front should claim from my insurance. I was told that I have to pay my excess after the completion of the repair and...

As i was travelling around 10mph today, just heard a loud bang from behind, somebobdy hit me. The impact was so strong that it pushed me forward and unluckily hit the car in front causing a big dent on his rear bumper. The car who hit me (ford Ka) was badly damaged while mine had a big dent on...

Thanks for your replies. Great help. I chose the 10 years fixed rate as I think the interest rate would keep on going up. I would have gone for longer period but 10 years is the maximum that they do. Cheers. Richard

Thanks. Forgot to tell you that I'm transferring my mortgage from Halifax to Nationwide, maybe it's not the cheapest but a lot cheaper than my current one. Even Nationwide's adviser doesn't know the solicitor's procedure.

I've applied to Nationwide for a remortgage. Before I applied I was told that it's not going to cost me anything to remortgage. Now, I've got the mortgage offer from them and they asked me for my solicitor's details, details now passed to my solicitor. Solicitor asked me for £350 pounds as their...
