Oh is it normal to have the key built into the fob? Asked him and said 1key/fob combined like a BMW.

As long as everything is working you will never need to use the physical key.

 

[WhatsThisFor]

Mine is a key in fob, like so.

Someone mentioned putting links on here a d maybe getting a more local member to check - saves you a chunk of train fare and time.
We are generally a helpful bunch.....I know if you were looking at a motor in my usual haunts, is be half to take a gander (but you ain't, so I can't).

I'm usually so wary of dodgy market place ads but this one seems reasonable, more like a trader add and videos have been sent over WhatsApp showing what I requested and seen kind if normal.

I don’t buy cars that live by the sea, salt eats them - two advisories on rust to rear subframe and coil springs and so it begins.

Also damaged windscreen, which are expensive to replace.

But all in all better than I expected for less than £4000.

Bull Island ?

Bull Island ?

nope, Cumbrian coast

The plan is to go down this Thursday as I need my own vehicle ASAP because every time I renew another month on the tempcover insurance for another month it takes £300 of the buying budget.

Did I read right? £300 a MONTH to renew insurance?

 

[skraggy_uk]

Did I read right? £300 a MONTH to renew insurance?

Yeah monthly temp cover because the TT is on loan and not registered at my address. Don't want to get a full policy because believe it or not Audi TT 2.5k a year, Porsche Cayenne V8 4.5 £1100 a year, Lexus LS400 £700 a year, C class diesel £800 a year. Elgrand about £11-1300 a year. 55 clean license, no points ever, maximum 9 years no claims most places record, very boring job in a very boring industry and usually 4-5k miles a year.

Whereabouts in Cheshire @skraggy_uk ?

 

[Chasdad]

If I was paying 4k for an early e51 I'd want it to be a very good one

Warrington.
My postcode area is an insurance class C in an A-F scale. My old Warrington postcode was an insurance class B area but when I moved when the ex and I split, the insurance nearly doubled. Some cars like cooking model basic Passats, Octavia's, golds and Peugeot/Citroen models are cheaper but interesting models or even unusual but not valuable cars are through the roof. A 2000 Daewoo Musso was double the price to insure than a 2001 Lexus IS200.

Likewise. I'm going to be honest, that one I've linked to looks a lot better than some I've seen for over £3-3.5k and with longer MOT and less advisories.

The videos I asked for, two different driving videos, a bonnet up engine running video and a couple of walk rounds look to be in pretty good nick and running order.

 

[skraggy_uk]

These are the videos I requested and was sent.
They shouldn't be listed/searchable but I can share them.

I know. I was like wow what. He must know it like the back of his hand and the cross roads heads to a dead end or something.

Insurance pricing is madness, I live right in the middle of Wrexham, on street parking, 3 years NCB about £400 fully comp. To put where I live in a Warrington perspective, my house is as close to Wrexham City centre as the Aldi side of Bank Park, makes no sense.

doesn't look to bad but that engine bay is a mess !!!!!!!!
