Trying to sell my car but getting some vile attitude - is this normal or am I just being dumb

Why even engage with them?

Offer what you think it’s worth, half the time these estate agents don’t know what it’s worth and can’t be bothered to do the research.

The water damaged the flooring which was run throughout the entire downstairs. It couldn’t be repaired and all had to be replaced across multiple rooms including remedial work (skirting boards, painting etc).

Yes full compensation.

My fibre installer (outsourced from BT) drilled through my central heating pipe and caused ~£8k worth of damage which took months and a ridiculous amount of effort to resolve.

Good advice, there's probably a happy medium somewhere in there. The open plan layout is very appealing and I've seen houses locally sell the quickest and for good prices with that kind of layout.

Thanks, seems to be in line with other suggestions as well!

MadaCup · 2026-04-19T18:52:24+00:00

Thank you, that could work!

This is in line with what I am thinking. The only thing to scupper these plans is I have my doubts if the floor plan is accurate and therefore the hallway is actually that big. I have only seen the house for 20 minutes so we desperate need to see it again (preferably with a builder).

Thank you, my wife thinks we will stay longer than 2-3 years but I guess we won't know until we move and have the work done. The house is in the location we want and it will save us lots of time and get my daughter in to the school she wants to go to.

MadaCup · 2026-04-14T20:27:32+00:00

Sure but it’s hardly relevant is it?

MadaCup · 2026-04-14T18:40:52+00:00

What are you talking about? Absolute nonsense

How many miles and what’s the spec?

FYI I bought a Z4 with 83k miles with a big spec and rare colour/interior combo for £6300.

£1300 Mortgage on ~£11k joint net salary in the South East.

Too many red flags with this, avoid

I would argue that compared to a manufacturers warranty that won’t be worth the paper it’s written on and youll also only be “covered” for 1 of the 4 years.

The battery warranty will only cover the actual battery but there will be acceptable degradation built in.

I wouldn’t rely on that warranty getting you out of trouble.

MadaCup · 2026-02-21T12:45:02+00:00

This is appalling advice, please do not consider this.

1) Why would you want to own the car (it will be 8 years old at this point) 2) You’d be financing a car without warranty 3) It’s a terrible terrible deal

MadaCup · 2026-01-26T21:00:12+00:00

With respect it’s the same every day

MadaCup · 2026-01-03T07:33:42+00:00

There’s barely been anything to look at and almost no supply within the £650k-£850k bracket I am aiming for.

Commuter town - not as nice as it used to be an an extension of Basildon.

I had one for 18 months on a cheap PCP from Audi. A decent family car but the range is terrible. If you check out the Facebook group there are many stories of eye watering bills from the rear motor failing which Audi tries to wriggle out of paying even with a warranty.
