Has anyone used Avon Tyres? I read they are owned by Cooper Tyres. They are cheap.... very cheap for reason I don't know. 84.01 for avon vs 101.11 for Good year vs 106.11 for Michelin. Any thoughts?

To clear it up, the he sent the vat invoice to me with the settlement figure from finance comapny. Finance company are in cc of email. Bank details of both finance comapny and his company are there. I am trying to understand how is it not different then buying any other car. E.g. we pay a person and get an invoice. In this case I pay this guy and finance company instead of all the lump sum to his account. There is no protection in any case is there? In this case, at least I know the debt is cleared off as I pay it instead of him. And because the finance company stays in loop, ... I read the same process on HPI website: The finance company can’t give you the settlement figure because of the Data Protection Act, but if the vendor gets it you can confirm it with the lender. You can then buy the car less the value of the settlement figure, paying the latter directly to the finance company. If the settlement figure is greater than the asking price of the car, it’s up to you to reach an agreement with the vendor and finance company. Things can get messy in this situation, but most things can be resolved with negotiation. The best way is he clears the debt but he does not have liquid cash.

The company this guy owns.

The owner has shared payout figure that came straight from the lender. He kept the lender in cc so I will discuss with them as well as this.

I am going to have all this discussion with the seller. I am arming myself thanks to all the responses.

What about this option: We agree to a price. I pay the guy price minus the settlement debt. The debt to be confirmed from the seller and the financial company and paid by me. This way I can deal with the debt and own the car. Thr question is though, how is invoice generated. And I will require a VAT invoice.

I see all the valid points you guys made and I am aware of them. This is a 60k car with original value of 80k. The owner of the company is the seller. Last car I bought for 50k belonged to the same company and hence I came in contact with the guy. Conclusion is, debt to be cleared before purchase. Once cleared then I can confirm with financial company and purchase the car. How does this sound?

Got it. I have the finance company phone number and I will call them and see what they have to say about it. I have the lease agreement number as well. Going to see how deep the rabbit hole is.

hmm.. Understood. Just worth pointing out I guess... car is an expensive one and many people in UK get things on finance? This is a third car I have seen on finance ...

It is coming to two options I pay deposit, he clears the debt and provides proof I pay the finance company the balance and whatever left is paid to this guy.

Who pays for the engine oil and oil filter? Lexus or customer? I eveluate in terms like this: I buy parts and ask indy to do it vs lexus does it vs kwikfit does it vs I buy parts and I do it. So it will be quality and price compared.

when you guys go with a lexus plan. Does that include oil change and all the parts or one has to pay for the parts and oil...and they just cover labor What does one pay for and what does one get ? I do not know as I service car myself. Also, what does kwikfit do? I am new to these things. Thanks.

Car is a company owned car. Very common to see it on finance because of the age and price. I am going to ask the seller how he intends to clear the debt. I have phone number of the finance company though hpi check but it is weekend now. I know the person has sold cars in the past and dealers have been buying from him.

I am looking at a car that has finance on it. How can one purchase this car from the seller? Where should I start from amd what should I be doing ? Thanks.

They were new and had the red yellow paint lines on it. Have receipts to prove millage and alignement but that will not do any good anyway. If it is suspension issue, what can be it? Should I put new tyres on? Thinking of putting Goodyear or Dunlop. Will tracking catch any suspension issue ? Or will I loose money on new set of tyres as well? If I jack up the car, what should I look for? I had replaced the control arms myself last year as I had advisory. Then I replaced tyres and did alignment.

This is the off side. Plenty of life.

Thats the near side. When cold I keep it at between 32-33 psi. recommened is also that range. I check it every two weeks.

Shouldn't bad tracking mean partial wesr of tyre? How can the whole tyre be finished and touch cord? And the other side near new?

Non Lexus car I got Khumo tyres on the fronts less than a year ago. 7000 miles done, the near side front tyre is completly finished. The off side has plenty of life in it. Maybe 2 years or more. I had done the alignment the same day I got the tyres. What can the issue be? Bad alignment? Bad tyres? Bad suspension? Where should I start?

how does tint work with heating element? Is250 is boyish car. Very practical. Lads drive them in US and Asia. Q7 is not an SUV. Maybe european SUV... Q7 seems for girls. Autobiography or ZX 570 is proper SUV. Someone told me once, a rolex with grandpa no one will notice. A rolex with a young guy is noticed and looks good. So yeah, BMW 520 or Is250 with a young guy looks good than a mini cooper (not the old ones, talking about the new girly ones) Linas, it is with whole of europe and UK. Tiny cars. Make sense as space is at a premium here. Narrow roads small homes. You cannot drive an S class easily even in UK and dare I say e.g. Italy. First, it doesn't fit in the teco asda supermarket parking bay.

I do not think it is easy to clock. If it is, someone please give me a name. Maybe with old cars. Not a chance with new LCD display type ones.

dazed are you an ee?

merc uses cell phones internet to give live update. Maybe new lexus does the same but spending anything to get a new dvd for 60 quid is not worth it in my opinion. if it costed a 10ner then maybe...

Do they warn you about road accidents or traffic? :) How can anythin beat google... :)

Ahmed will know as he has first hand experience. I have not used sat nav much. It always ends me on wrong road or in traffic. Google.maps work well for me.
