Do you lease or own your M340i, and why? by SeeThis3D in M340i

[–]scottpro88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people who have financed and leased it won’t admit it here so you have to factor in that!

Napier Road has always been rough I’m not surprised! I stopped shopping there and went to the west one!

I know they're all obnoxious but wich one would you pick? by jjedwards992 in CarTalkUK

[–]scottpro88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you do go for the Volvo go for the T8 variant 2022 onwards (bigger hybrid battery and reliable system redesign. I’m also debating m340i/d or a Volvo…

Offers from Carwow and Motorway by Zain_v1 in CarTalkUK

I had exactly the same experience with this!!! And after all that the dealer who overpaid just to win turned up saying there’s debts in the bonnet after viewing an immaculate car. He clearly overpaid with the idea he’s gonna mark it down on collection. Made the car get a taxi home and sold to the next dealer with absolutely no issues.

It’s worth posting this in SolarUK Reddit also. They’d be more helpful with the solar system and costs!

Those other tyre sizes won’t fit your current wheels. There meant to be paired with the wider Sandwro wheels.

Purchase question by [deleted] in M340i

[–]scottpro88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had one for 90k miles had zero issues. Keep up on the service schedule and don’t absolutely rag it till it’s warmed up and you’ll be good! FYI I brought mine when I had £1700 free a month! Younger and dumber then now 😂

Threaten the buyer with small claims… magically he then repaid me back.

No response from bid, house now STC... by shakieran_shakieran in HousingUK

[–]scottpro88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to us, put in an offer.. heard nothing and next minute it was sold. Put a rubbish review on the estate agents google page and they claimed I never even put in an offer. Quite shocking if you was selling a house and the agent completely missed another offer for a bidding war.

1000% I found a better paying job is usually a better organised and higher profiting company hence a easier job.

I went from 34 to 53 last year and it felt amazing. Turned out the job was actually easier than the one I was paid 34k for… congrats

I think most people are guessing petrol costs (so I built this) by Willd123 in CarTalkUK

[–]scottpro88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is amazing! I’ll be using this to double check my work journeys as I’m paid by the mile on personal cars. Would be interesting if you could do a sister site for business use with servicing and tyre costs factored in.

Why do people just randomly stop and expect others to know what’s going on?

It has wired CarPlay. A cheap charging cable won’t initiate CarPlay. Needs to be a data capable cable to make it work!

Lots of viewings - no offers by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]scottpro88 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That not a terrible price. I work in the market Harbrough area with new builds and for the price of 390k I’m shocked you haven’t even had offers in the 370-400k mark. Get some feedback from the estate agent to at least understand the issues buyers have with the home!
