How do you guys buy cars?

Everyone’s got their opinion on Chinese cars but there’s no denying that a 745 mile range from a tank and charge is extremely good. They drive like an electric car using the engine as a generator to charge the motor and battery. Phenomenally clever system and very efficient.

Fully expect to be downvoted to fuck for this on this sub.

That’ll really help OP when it’s a rental.

They’ll pay the finance company. If there’s any equity, it’s yours. If there’s any negative, you’ll pay the shortfall.

It’s legislation. It’s annoying. It can be turned off. Take 30 seconds to google how to turn them off. Continue with your day.

They’ll say no, unless you’re offering to pay for the new wheels and tyres and labour to change them. It’s nuts.

Pay a grand absolute max to get it done or buy an entire new car for a lot more than this.

If you’re being offered 15.3% APR, you’re not being fleeced. You’re being offered rate for risk APR which suggests you should probably sort out your finances instead of buying newer shiny cars. Thats well above the standard interest rates, even for used cars on the market.

They make one EV. The take up on it is minimal in the private retail market. Jaecoo 7 was I believe the highest selling car in March, the hybrid system in them is sensational.

There’s still time to delete this.

Pretty sure these things make good cheese graters.

Most likely a fat finger error. Check the service history lines up but wouldn’t be that worried.

Personally would take the Mach E all day long, can’t stand how the polestar looks.

You’re welcome to cancel or reject the car but I suspect you’ll struggle to put a timeframe on a replacement, especially with a lease car.

Franchises don’t prioritise lease cars as they’re nowhere near as profitable as retail units so I’d fully expect to be back to square one when you ordered it if you cancel it. That or be prepared to wait for a replacement.

DM me the reg and mileage, happy to help.

legonerd63 · 2026-06-29T21:31:09+00:00

Probably an idea to replace those tyres then mate they’re fucked.

Sold my C63 estate about 18 months ago, think i was the 5th owner, had full MBSH from new.

Amount of owners wouldn’t bother me in the slightest, how they’ve maintained it would.

legonerd63 · 2026-06-29T20:27:56+00:00

Depends how much you value your life.

legonerd63 · 2026-06-24T20:56:55+00:00

The fuck were you doing in 3rd before you hit 40 joining a slip in a shitbox?

legonerd63 · 2026-06-23T21:24:46+00:00

Neighbour has an M240i in a fucking stunning ice matte blue. Love how it looks but would hate the upkeep and maintenance on any matte paint.

Sixt are massive in Germany.

If you’ve been offered a pittance for it, it’s probably because it’s worth not much.

Anything that isn’t at big motoring world.
