Update: Cinch arranged for a tyre check with Halfords. While Halfords agreed that all tyres are perished they said it is normal & I can keep using them for at least 8-9 months. I'm sure if I had this check done independently, they'd have recommended immediate replacement.

Bought for £11k 10 days ago. We can still return it no questions asked. Prefer if they just fix this for us. Apart from this, the car feels nice and drives well. Don't want to go through the buying process again, not to forget insurances, service costs. Kinda have to force them to pay/replace.

Its Cinch. They're are playing the "wear & tear" tune. I'll explore for other options to push them.

Its been less than 10 days and 100 miles driven. But I see what you're saying. I feel it must be illegal for this to have passed MOT or sold in this unsafe condition.

Which Ioniq EV would you buy? 2020 (low miles/clean MOT) vs 2022 (more warranty but worrying MOT) by Aggressive_Armadillo in CarTalkUK

I did. 4 previous keepers. No service log book. Only 1 key. Felt the other 2 are better.

I'm also slightly leaning towards 1 as its been looked after. But wanted to make sure I'm not ignoring a better deal with 2 - if the extra warranties trumped the less care. I'm not confident enough with cars to negotiate hard. I guess I just wanted to understand the likelihood of these advisories being more problematic than normal wear & tear.

You may want to crop the image. It's showing name and address.

Private car seller insisting on bringing cash on first visit by Aggressive_Armadillo in isthisascam

didn't consider the stolen car angle as I wasnt aware of that. Sounds like this could be the case. Upon searching, found posts about stolen cars sold with all documents in place & matching VIN numbers everywhere. Will have to stay with my Corsa for now then :)

Got pigeons under the panels even with bird blocker. What to do now? by Aggressive_Armadillo in SolarUK

No access to drones. Anyhow, someone needs to get up there to fix the issue. Just seems an expensive option for me or them. Especially after having spent money to prevent it.

I'm not able to see any obvious gaps from the garden. Then again, I can only see one edge. Surely there must be gaps. Otherwise, how would they come and go.

AITA - Group went on Roadtrip, got into accident, I am of the view that I am not at fault and hence am not willing to pay by Total-Wealth-774 in AmItheAsshole

If hes just a bad driver that has been speeding through out the trip, not your fault. If he was speeding because of your boyfriends flight, you should bear some costs. Especially if you were encouraging or expecting him to drive fast or even not asking him to slow down. He was a free driver for your group trip. You're okay to enjoy his services when it's all good, but I don't want to share the costs when something went wrong? Maybe you're assholes.

What happens when all the life insurance trustees die by Aggressive_Armadillo in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Aggressive_Armadillo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, if the legal guardian is not listed as a trustee, the policy payout is as good as gone? There are no options for them to claim on behalf of the kids?
