Re: What did you do today?

Sold my x350 to wbac this morning for 2500 after fees. 128k miles with a few dinks/scratches which I volunteered most off. Trade guide is 3k for mint and around 2.4 for good/average so I’m happy enough and don’t have to suffer experts coming to view.

Re: What did you do today?

Been using my old Chevy for work over the last week as Jag suspension is broken. Was only mildly broken till i fixed it. Now awaiting new compressor and software reset.

Re: What did you do today?

I did go to Swindon to look at a car, I was worried that it would be too nice for me, I think it probably is but I have bought it anyway. Should be down with me by the weekend.
