    Unlucky, I think stick with the cheap small cars as there is much more demand for those. Hopefully the next one will be better

    Honest review. I guess the cam belt was due and with the battery on the way out the previous owner part exed it for a few hundred quid. Think you did right cutting your losses. Better luck with the next one.

    I sell cars in America but the logistics are quite similar. Oof, that’s the reality alright. There have been times I lost over $1000. 60 pounds or so isn’t too rough

    Stay away from that type of car mate not doing yourself any favours if you wouldn’t buy it then don’t sell it (and if you would buy *this* then only buy ones you wouldn’t buy)😅on the very cheap side the money is in C1, F500, aygo, 107, etc..

      @ at least you are learning, don’t give up and don’t let it get you down. Keep on brother you’ll get there with the perfect formula. If you need any advice feel free to ask.

    £40 for a Taxi? Was that just from the Station to BCA or did you get off the train at Weston Super Mud! You could walk that in 30mins as it’s about 2 miles. Could you also explain if you don’t mind if you have trade plates and insurance or do you tax and insure the cars just to get you home. Liking what I’ve watched so far

    • @carsnstuffuk
      @carsnstuffuk  5 часов назад

      @JS-ks9ix it was from Weston as the train wasn't travelling to Bridgwater for some reason. Otherwise I'd walk from Bridgwater. I have both trade plates and trade insurance. And appreciate that, thanks 👍
