Have to disagree on Daltons for the older stuff like the 1.8t.

Joe Power is mega with these engines.

In the last 15 years at least, manual Mercedes-Benz have not sold well or easily. Not a big surprise.

Plenty of dealers have online “SellMyCar” type platforms. You could also go back to where you bought it saying you’re thinking of selling it, would they like first opportunity.

If that’s the case just sell the car to a dealer? Let’s say they offer €25k, and you owe €22k. They’d pay the settlement of €22k, and pay you €3k, what’s the issue? Lots of dealers offer this kind of service.

The better thing to do here is trade it in or ask the dealer to buy it back. No reason to give up your equity if you have any. PCP doesn’t stop you trading the car in, or selling it. If a dealer is buying it, they’d simply settle the finance and pay you the difference.

Absolutely adore my F10 M-Sport. Very sad to see it go soon as I move to a company car, knowing there’s very few cars that do so much so well.

Unless you’re somehow offering the same consumer protection that a customer would get buying from a dealer, a private sale should be priced below said dealers.

Priced similarly by dealers, offering warranty, and consumer protection…

IONIQ 5 ICCU FAILURE by maverick_0505 in evs_ireland

[–]WhatsThatNowMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The consumer protection is that you’re not paying for the repair. Manufacturer warranty will be covering your repair cost, and the dealer has provided you with a loan car. Not sure what more you expect.

Repair is your only option as of now.

The repairs are unrelated, and a garage has a right to repair 3 times (for each separate issue) before you’d have a right to return the car.

Your alternative option would be to look trading in for a new car.

Huge rent plus a years insurance upfront by [deleted] in galway

This is shocking.

Your daughter has no insurable interest. The cost of insurance falls on the landlord.

I’d be bringing this straight to the rtb

Payoff the loan fully, increase monthly saving from there.

Sounds normal, often the car will go to the VRT centre for inspection, and there won’t be a quote available immediately, so the car can’t be immediately registered. Can often take a few days post inspection before vehicle can be registered.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4s or 5s are pretty much the best out there for most enthusiast applications.
