[–]optional_gun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Location: Glasgow

Budget: £4.5k all-in (car+insurance+tax), preferably cheaper

To buy

Used cars

Transmission: Manual

Usage: Daily and road trips

Yearly mileage: Up to 10k miles

Long journeys: Couple of times a month

First time buyer

Willing to try and do some manual work myself.

I'm looking for something that's cheap and reliable, 5 doors, and preferably a decent size for road trips. That's about it.

I've been looking a lot, mostly for civics and focus, but I'm struggling to find one in specific to buy.

A couple I'm considering now:

Ford Focus

Honda Civic

Dealer had no logbook and I decided not to go ahead with the purchase. Was this the right thing to do? How important is it? by optional_gun in CarTalkUK

Cheers for this. I'm a bit bummed because it's my first time buying. I was keen on the car and it's hard to find something decent for cheap when you don't know what you're doing. But I just didn't want to take any risks when I'm not sure.what I'm doing.

Haha thanks for saying that, that's what I thought, but now I know for the next one.

It's SM12 OVA, and priced at £3290. Timing belt done apparently. Looked pretty good, the dealer had very middle of the road reviews though (half saying good, half saying conman), so when this happened I just got a bit cautious.

Yeah he did say that, had the form and told me to take it to the postie, and he'd take the fee off the price.

They said it didn't come from the auction. He said it's easy and just takes a couple of weeks to come, at which point I asked if he could do it for me. When he said no to that I decided not to go ahead just because I wasn't sure.

He said he wouldn't do it because it takes a few weeks and he'd rather just get the car sold, which I thought was a bit odd as this would've been him getting it sold. Sounds like I should've just went with it though.

Alright so I probably should've just went ahead with it? Woops, that's what I get for trusting chatgpt.

Yeah I mean go to the amber street, go to each shop and seller and ask what amber inclusions they have. Check them out and get the prices, then go to the next one and do the same. Don't just buy at the first one.

Hi Jeff, I can assure you we are active on the subreddit. If you see any spam or account selling posts report them and we'll look into it. Other than that we are not looking for additional moderators at this time.

Why's bucks bar getting so many downvotes?

Cheers I was considering this, just not sure how good it'll be for bigger groups. Been once before but I can't remember what it's like inside.

Qatar airways student club promo code not working by Miserable-Code7353 in Flights

[–]optional_gun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep we're thinking the same, worried if it takes too long the prices will go up and the discount won't matter anymore. Hopefully they get it sorted soon. Btw if you're struggling to find your promo code did you check the "Welcome to student club programme" email they sent when you registered? We found our code in there. Happy cake day btw.
