I already have contacted one auction house. They have told me to search the registration number daily and if it is going through their books it will say the date and location that it is going to auction. As "non-trade" though you can only bid in person and it is not possible to see how much it...

Well today was the last with my PHEV as it was collected and returned to the lease company that my company uses. I had wished to purchase it but it was overpriced. The woman picking it up indicated that it would most probably go to auction and realise £6000 less than what they were offering it...

The revised quote was still £2000 to £2500 above the main dealer buy-in price or the price indicated by webuyanycar.com.

Well I got a price from the fleet company which was over the forecourt price that my local main dealer had indicated. After sending them a further email they revised their offer to the forecourt price. Well above the price indicated by the main dealer as a buy-in price or "webuyanycar.com". The...

Hi I have had my 4h company car for almost 4 years, in fact the lease expires at the end of March. The car will only have approximately 39500 miles on the clock. I am thinking of buying the car off the fleet company as I am now semi-retired and for the local trips to my sons it is ideal. Does...

At 70 mph mine is out by about 4 to 5 mph but then my 2015 X-Trail is even worse, an indicated 80 is a GPS measured 70. On longer trips I tend to use a GPS speedo app on my phone, particularly when driving in Europe as it can be set to kph and is easier to read. I generally set my speed limiter...

As I put in my post of Aug 11 "The charger lever at the car end has a hole in it so you can fit a small padlock. This would put off the opportunist thief but not one who wanted your charger come what may as the small padlock could quite easily be cut through." Admittedly the padlock hasp needs...

Surely, the work carried out in September is still under warranty.

Well I finally got my car back at the end of July but not without it having to be returned for further rectification work which also included a new headlining as they had pulled it down to repair the rear panel and in doing so had creased the headlining which they could not get out. Even then on...

I assume that you have a company leased car and have pay for the fuel and claim back the business miles. The HMRC site is quite clear on the guidance rates that are payable. Depending on you mileage claim, even 14 p per mile (current rate from June 2018) may not cover your fuel costs. If the...

The charger lever at the car end has a hole in it so you can fit a small padlock. This would put off the opportunist thief but not one who wanted your charger come what may as the small padlock could quite easily be cut through.

Seats are a very individual thing. I have never had a Toyota so I cannot answer for them. Note, cars in different markets have their suspension tuned differently. I generally find the same cars in USA are slightly softer than the equivalent in UK/Europe. Although I have been driving for 45...

M6 toll?

Not too sure about a Saturday. I would hope that it would not be quite as busy as during the week. If I am on business trips its normally weekday mornings and evenings, and when visiting family in Nottingham it is Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons. Sunday afternoons can be busy on the A14...

Forgot to mention. I assume that you will be heading west on the A14. They are currently upgrading the road to the north of Cambridge. There are currently something like 14 miles of 40 mph averaging speed restrictions. Depending on the time of day the tail backs can be several miles. Instead of...
