UKPoacher Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Sell the car privately faults and all, and buy a car with no PX. A garage will give you next to nothing for a faulty car but there is always someone who'll buy a fixer upper in the FreeAds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Find a new garage, if part ex to a main dealer and a low value car it's basically scrap, they have incentives to move new cars, if to a smaller garage hen either what hey can sell it for or move on for in the trade. Depends how bad the car is and how quick you need a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbob Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Any garage that px a older car or car with problems puts them straight to the car market so a private buyer will buy it and have a go at fixing it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washerboy Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 I got £300 for an old banger that had a clutch problem against a car that was only £2500 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 It would help if you said what car it is, the model, age, mileage and the problem with it! If it's only a few hundred it might be worth selling on cheap, if it's several thousand then who knows. My car needed about £800 of body work to get it back to mint condition. In the end I sold it to a dealer for £500 than I was asking, I know he would just do it up and sell it on but it was hassle I didn't want to deal with myself. If your talking a couple thousand I found there's not too many people these days who 1) have thousands of pounds and 2) want a fixer upper I think a lot of people these days want a nice new looking car on finance. Probably one of the reasons so many people thes days have "money problems". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it down a an eligibility check and credit check with the likes of Experian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 How can someone with money problems manage to get finance? Isn't it down a an eligibility check and credit check with the likes of Experian Depends what you mean by problems, ccj's etc or just spending every penny every month and having no savings for a rainy day. Lots of people who earn decent money only just make it through the month on finance and are increasing debt in terms of loans credit cards (long term credit card debt) and finance. I know people who rent a 4 bed detached house, take nice holidays, designer clothes drive nice cars etc earn less than we do and have it all on finance I can't get my head around it but they are paying now for a holiday they took 2 years ago and are still paying for a shirt they threw out months ago and as soon as they finish paying for something buy a new one....... if they loose their job, health, they are knackered but if the boiler breaks it's the landlords problem if the car breaks it's under warranty......

Delwint Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 It's all down to the finance companies, they have prime and sub prime. If you have a good credit rating you pay less to borrow money, if you have a bad credit rating you pay through the nose. Just read the small print on the likes of Wongas tv advert. The APR is crazy high. But they are appealing to people who need money and have nowhere else to turn. They are paying that high rate to the finance company based on the risk to them. If you've got a high level of ccj's or defaults then they assume that you will probably not default in the first 12 months and with the high rate of interest the initial debt will probably be paid off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
