What's taken your fancy in the classifieds today?

[A6Avant]

When i was buying my car, it was listed with replica wheels (which were awful looking) so I asked to see the original wheels. They took me down the back of the yard where they had rows of original wheels and told me to take my pick. I picked through 3 different sets of OEM wheels to find the best condition of the same wheels they had and ended up getting 4 wheels that were almost perfect condition, and which looked much better than the rubbish they had put on the car to advertise it. They weren't happy about having to remove the replica knock offs but no way was I paying £1000 for inferior wheels, which to me just cheapened the whole look of the car.

I remember a post on here about someone who bought a car with the "optional" wheels and then asked for the standard set as well since he paid for the other set of wheels but the dealer either didnt give them or had to get another set

So you can either give us £1500 and have the “upgrade” wheels or you can have a car with no wheels

Mickey would sort them out (contains swearing )

The standard wheels on that are terrible looking tbf

 

[Eager]

I don't get that at all. Either advertise and price it as in the pictures, or just put it up with the standard wheels on (which will probably be rough as, why else change in the first place...).

Honestly, I'd walk away at stuff like that. If they carry on like that with the ad, imagine what they would be like for anything else... Zero time for that...

Car dealers don’t sell cars. They sell finance, warranty packages, alloy wheels, paint protection, servicing, body trim packages

But they do need a mule for all that. Enter the car. Which they make a few quid from too. But it’s the above they really want to sell you

And if you go to trade one in with replica wheels they will tell you that makes the car worth less as buyers will want the correct wheels!!

‘Dont want it, looks like it’s been messed with’
Can hear it already

 

[wes]

As above at jack reids, friend asked for the originals as she paid for the upgrade wheels got them also

I can just imagine in the design office a debate about just how many spokes to stop at,

‘No, one more
Ah don’t be daft 2 less’

What are 2017/2018 Ford Focus ST-TDCI's like to live with? Just looking for a potential replacement for the Q5

I'd mine for 3 years and it was starting to feel tired. Wee things, like the badges corroding within 18 months and the ST sill plates starting to delaminate.

Is going from a Q5 to an A Class with two rugrats not going to be space related ballache?

This is what she wants, I will not argue

But know what you're saying, tbh, the Q5 isn't a massive car inside. Boot is "ok" and I have coped no problem in my 3dr hatch with all 4 of us plus luggage up to Coleraine on numerous occasions

Running costs for her are bad for the Q5 hence why she wants something smaller and more modern eg for not much more than what we would sell the Q5 for we can get a 2016/17 at a push A Class (heated seats, cruise, pan roof, memory seats, car play, etc..)

Saw a red A-class the other day with insane amounts of lacquer peel for the age of it, maybe best avoid red @Boydie.

Drove a 1.5 dci one for a few weeks, was dead as anything with a fair delay on the gearbox but was seriously economical.
