That S40 seems cheap. Just had another look - it's a bit of a mess, but salvageable.

The seller is suggesting he will not be interested in receiving the car back or any complaints about it once you've bought it.Also...

The one that sticks in my mind is Radcliffe Car AuctionsI don't know if they actually hold an Auction but all these are for sale now:

They seem to think that by calling themselves an Auction - they manage to get out of the usual obligations of a car trader.

This looks like it might have potential. Description is very light.
The MOT history doesn't make for very good reading.This looks like it might have potential. Description is very light.
I guess there's a reason it's so cheap.
I wouldn't touch that Ka with yours (or anyone else's for that matter)

It is BS.
Would they turn down cash if you refused to pay the admin fee I wonder?
£95 on a £5k car probably not.Would they turn down cash if you refused to pay the admin fee I wonder?
£95 on a £295 car is just a shyster way to get more cash.

They're selling the vast majority of their stock as scrap or very low value vehicles for £600 or less, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't expect anything more if you're buying from there, and if you buy anything more valuable you're daft. Mind you you'd be daft anyway, because all of their "better" stock is wildly overpriced.
I just stumble across their ads, as I said I stop reading at "Auction" when it isn't.sim72 said:

te to printing out a few 'sold as seen' notices.Jimmy Recard said:
Which law exactly?
If you buy a £295 car without an MOT, I'm betting no court would support you that the dealer has some obligation to sort it
You cannot make someone sign away their statutory rights. You cannot sell as an "Auction" if it isn't, you cannot sell as a "Trade Sale" to the public.If you buy a £295 car without an MOT, I'm betting no court would support you that the dealer has some obligation to sort it
I never said they would nor should.
Anyone else seen this - I think the thread could be replaced with this feed!

You're right about that - the dealer doesn't have the right to remove statutory rights.I never said they would nor should.
I'm not sure this tries to remove them though - I just take it as advice that the dealer is unhelpful

Yes I follow that, but they don't seem to look at ebay; it's mostly Gumtree and AutoTrader.https://twitter.com/N_Q_Cs
Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222383646551
BMW 325ti.
Would take some haggling to get in thread budget but looks good to me. Always thought the E46 compact was underrated.
