Invite offers from James Agger or Jim Ingleby. If the car is is good condition they will make you an offer.

This will not be as much as a private sale, but a lot less hassle - you pays your money and takes your choice.

I can see your annoyance, but at the end of the day they're not doing it for their health, they're in it to make money, don't forget that they'll have to cover any potential warrenty, get it serviced etc etc. When a 'punter' drives off in your car having handed over the cash, it's no longer your problem, but no so with a dealer.

Tell me, did you buy from a dealer? If so ask your self why?

OK!
Not sure how webshots works, as I use Fotango.
This is how Fotango works.

I select a pic in Fotango, I then have a menu to select what I would like to do with the selected picture.
One of the selection criteria is get a link to this picture. It then shows me a URL!

Now a typical URL is like the one you would see in your address bar i.e.
www.pistonheads.com

So all you now need to do is copy the URL that has been given to your picture and paste it into your post!

You must however type [pic] at the front of the URL and [/pic] at the end.

I'll send you a mail reply to me and attach your pic.

I will then post your pic for you. if you then post a reply and use quote, you will be able to see the mechanics of what I'm trying to explain.

It is difficult to explain, but once you have done it a couple of times it's not.

No I didn't buy from a dealer I bought it from an american stock broker who bought it brand new from H****N London, From my experience warranties aren't worth a F..K. This guy was a genuine gezzor who had spend needless amounts of dosh, but needlessly because he foolishly trusted them, and they treated him like he had more money than sense, hence to say I ended up wiv a pucker car
