  1. These have been stored in the shed since selling the car and need to go. All in excellent condition. £40 for the mats, £40 for the liner (for models with the subwoofer) or £70 for the lot. Cash on collection please, these will be awkward to post. Collection is close to J18 off the M25.
  2. Sorry, I don't come on here since we sold the car. Yes they're still available, they've been in the shed since I posted this! Are you still interested? They're in the way now so will be ebaying them very soon.
  3. The wheels are all buckle free and clean but do have kerbing and scratches on them. I don't kerb my wheels! I bought them like this but wasn't bothered about the condition as they were winter wheels only. The tyres are Nokian WR A3. They do still have 3-5mm tread left but are probably past their best for winter use. Collection only near J18/M25 and I would like £200 cash. Please see photos for condition and I can take more if they're needed. I also have some other parts for sale, which I'll put on tomorrow.
  4. I got mine from Lexus Parts Direct and fitted myself. This was in the middle of Covid and we were isolating so £125 fitted is a great price. Ours was the original so it had lasted 10 years. https://lexuspartsdirect.co.uk/parts/lexus-ct/lexus-ct-2010-onwards/lexus-ct-engine-service-kits/lexus-ct-phase-1-12v-starter-battery/
  5. I guess it depends on if you needed to sell at the time but no one could've predicted these rises! I'm still glad ours went when it did as I got more than I was expecting. Plus we 'only' lost £3k on 5 years of ownership. Someone was also snooping underneath one of our other cars last night so if the Lexus was still on the drive I'm convinced the CAT would've gone again!
  6. I found the car on autotrader, being sold by a trader not dealer and they want £9,650 for it! Out of curiosity I did another WBAC valuation and it was £1,000 more than 4 weeks a go. That is just crazy! If anyone is thinking of selling I would do it now while prices are so high.
  7. Did the same with ours and snapped the grille to cut the wires, but they only cut one side, which is why the alarm still sounded. The guy who collected the car said he's not seen one where they cut the grille, they usually use a wire coat hanger to pull the wire and sheath out, and then cut.
  8. Well booked my appointment with WBAC yesterday. The guy phoned me this morning to confirm things, he sounded really friendly. Arrived 10 minutes early and he was dealing with someone when we got there, a 69 plate BMW X1. They drove off without accepting the offer! He checked the engine started ok, looked at the V5 and the service stamps. Then spent 2 minutes looking around the car. He didn't bother with the wheels, interior or engine bay, just the paintwork! They go by grade and he gave it a 2, saying it's rare to get a 10 year old car in such good condition. Valuation online was £7285. Price offered after grading £7142. Admin and immediate payment fee was £105. So total of £7037. Invoice emailed instantly and money was in the account pretty much instantly. 10/10 for WBAC, very easy way of selling your car. I now have some bits to sell, winter wheels, oil and filter, filter tool, boot liner and rubber mats. I'll put them in the for sale section.
  9. Yep they stole ours with the alarm blaring out, they just don't care who sees them! 😡
  10. We got the car back on Friday after nearly a month with the garage. Total bill was £2066! 😠 The car was being sold anyway and unlikely to be replaced but I've had to declare the claim on my other car. The Lexus is the missus and she is a named driver on mine. The quotes increased on mine by £40+ but the excess went from £0-£100 to £250-£500. I had been planning on renewing with Aviva for £237 and £0 excess. Adding the claim changed it to £275 with a £500 excess!! 😢
  11. We got the car back on Friday. I spent a good few hours cleaning it on Saturday and swapping the winter wheels back to the summer ones. It was too late to take it to WBAC by then. So I've listed it using that motorway, although they need to speak to me first. After going through the history the car has done 3k miles in 2 years and in 2019 I also had new front discs and pads fitted so they're virtually brand new! I'll see what happens with motorway but I only have 10 days until the insurance needs renewing so need it gone asap!
  12. What about when you drive it there, that adds mileage too!! That reminds me the engine bay is a bit grubby so I'll have to clean that quickly. I'm hoping the branch I use doesn't check the wheels as while three are mint one does have a little kerbing on the edge. I removed it from the valuation in the hope they don't notice. Our car has 2 and half months MOT. The options are 3-5 months or 1-2 months. Our valuation is based on the former but I don't know whether to change it. My concern with taking the free payment is leaving the car with them. I would opt for the 30 minute option but that's probably weekdays only, not late on a Saturday which is when I plan to take it.
  13. Did they knock any money off the valuation and what payment speed did you opt for? How thoroughly did they check it? We're getting our car back tomorrow so hoping to get it to WBAC on Saturday.
