Just needed a stat and a major service ;)
-
Seems like it.
Just needed a few V6 CDX do-able repairs and away to go.
Now how much is it worth with 13 months MOT.
Full Service et al?
That is the question.

The same as it was before. The service adds no value, MOT not really worth much either as long as the car looks honest.

Great news indeed D 8-) :y :y

The stat change was fine, but I wasted ten mins on getting the B bolt lined up through all the gubbins it secures.... >:(

I hope its not your james cause it's sold now :(

Diane, check James's pockets for the missing wheel bolt.
I remember doing a job on Laidback66's MV6 where we were changing the stat....I could not for the life of me find the stat bolts...searched around for a good hour looking for them (I always put the bolts in a magnetic tray)....we found them eventualy...in his bloody pocket!

Dont start that one going ::)

I have to say, I've had no problems with JamesV6CDX nicking stuff. ;)
It's normally the other way round. I think at one point he forgot his change of clothes, most of his tools and his mobile phone. In fact, everything he brought except himself and his car IIRC. :P

I am sure it was an MV6 and not an ELITE, I may be wrong though. :question :question :question
-
£4995 on ebay?,metallic blue,its still on autotrader and will be for a long time yet.
-
I was thinking of bidding him £3200 for it, worth a shot, or even go for £3k
Once you are up you cannot go back down

Got another one very similar:

I'd give him 3k, but not what he's asking :o
-
That is extremely similar ;), but it's done another 6K miles.... :-/
.. and the price has gone up. Wasn't it 5K before?
Kevin

Aye, and always takes ages to get the appropriate tools back, and the new tools back to him ;D ;D ;D

It was NONE of the ones that have been listed in the links.
It was on eBay yesterday and ended today around 12 noon.
I did not put it in watched items so have not got a link to it, but no doubt it will show up sometime soon.
Has not been re-listed as yet.

Was it this one?

That is it young man!!!
Well Done
Don't think any dealer is goona take £3k for a car that he has advertised for 5k
What do you think Mr Wyatt

Getting on for about what you paid for it darling

I thought you rang them several times, and they won't take a penny less than £4.9k?

The acid test is how much interest the dealer has managed to get.
I have a 2004 '54' E Class on ebay, 31,000 miles, full leather AMG wheels...I have had three phone calls from fellow traders asking what my 'best trade price is' so that in itself is a good sign. I did ask for a number to phone them back on to test out if they were really traders and asked them about their trade plates etc. I am confident that the vehicle will sell for what I want for it, but...after a certain time I would want to get rid of a vehicle asap.
So it depends on whether the dealer has had much interest, viewings and whether he wants to keep it around. Every single vehicle I have sold, the first person who had actually made a proper appointment to view the vehicle bought it. So ask this guy how many viewings he's had, if he says not many or loads you can probe him further.
Never make an offer over the phone, I don't take people seriously who do that...unless I've met them before, if they want a vehicle they will go and look at it, and test drive...I much prefer people who spend an hour looking round a car and ask as many questions as they can than just phone up and make an offer, they can't possibly make an offer without looking at it. So I'd say Di, go and look at it and make an offer when you're there :y

As I said at the time, no point in ringing them. If you turn up with £3k of folding and dangle the prospect of driving it away, it's an entirely different matter. Especially as they've listed it and it hasn't gone, it's hanging around cluttering their forecourt, etc...

Looking at the location of the photos, i'd say they don't have a forecourt, and its one of those places you need to make an 'appointment' to view.
I'd pay £3k for it, maybe its worth a trip there to investigate, its not far from my office :D

Glad you passed the mot. How did the car do........ :-?
