    Cars will sell, you're just not going to get what you think its worth.
    What I mean is there is little interest in the higher end of the market, unless it's at rock bottom prices, and then no guarantee.

    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

      You learn something new everyday....

      Well at least you'll know how much profit they're making, then you can beat them down.

        Hoover it out. Scrape the stickers off the windows. Hang a vanilla scented magic tree from the rear view. Park the bad side against the wall then put an ad in the local rag.
        Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

            Erm, seems to overprice to me. Parkers value less than these guys and they are overpricing too. E.g. their bottom price on my car is a grand more than I can see them for on pistonheads, and some of those are dealers!

              At the back of my mind I still have this crazy idea of buying a Roller, if the prices dip sufficiently.

              I'd have to look at the MPG though. Anyone have a rough idea how many miles per gallon a Silver Cloud would do, on the motorway for example?

              Flip it, You only live once, and what's the point of driving a chavmobile all your life if you can pay a bit more for a better car.

              Also, I wonder what the annual service costs would be.


              Edit: There's a 1991 Silver Spirit with 86,000 miles on the clock for £11K here.
