Well mine went just I time as may have looked a bit pricey next to this one. Good value for the miles if it comes with a lengthy warranty.

It was a good buy. I cant believe i kept dropping my price to keep it competitive to this one. Doh ! hindsight eh. That said the enquiries were pretty non existent (other than the first 2 weeks) when advertising over 25k. But once i lowered the price to just under 25k i had quite a few! There...

This is my specialist subject :-) I concluded mine was done under warranty as it was just within the 3 yrs and there was no charge applied to the invoice. The owner at the time must have taken it in due to the noise prior to end of warranty period. Think that was at 24k miles from memory...

Cheers. Took longer than I thought! Typically I had a light come up for auto wiper sensor which I didn't have time to get sorted prior to sale. Aside from that and a couple of minor paint issues I think Nick has a well sorted 4.7s. Hope he enjoys it.

I have sold the QP to very nice chap called Nick and have recommended he visit the forum as I have found it very helpful during my ownership. He is about to move to Jersey. Can anyone recommend a garage to look after the QP for him ? Cheers Craig

Gutted Rory didn't like the Mustang..... having just taken delivery of one! knew there was something not right about him ;-) Bit of a curve ball as both Chris' had given good reviews previously. Hope Clarkson likes it should anyone watch his show :-)

I see you have a Tuscan. Sooo wish i'd kept mine when the kids came along but got sensible. Probably worth about 10k more now. Best fun ever !

Hi I've picked up stone chips on the rear wheel arch. Where it flares out/base of back door. Nothing major but starting to now look unsightly. I'm trying to sell the car but i'm reluctant to get the area painted, as it will be back in that condition in no time so not a solution to the...

We are a bit out in the sticks for somewhere decent unfortunately. I haven't experience of motorpoint Cardiff but wasn't given much confidence when I enquired shortly after getting mine. I was told they had a master tech in Maidstone ? And could call him up for advice! Mmm I did an internet...

Typical. The car has been in and out of the garage quite a bit lately getting it ready for sale and now it's all sorted I have an intermittent warning symbol pop up about the rain sensor for the wipers. No biggie in the grand scheme of thing but pootentially off putting for a buyer. When light...

No matter how attractive the car or price it's a limited market. So depends on how long you have. May be best served by inviting a few of the respected dealers like Richard Grace the option of making an offer before it gets advertised generally as may get a bit more from them that way.

Since i've had the QP up for sale there have been a number of questions about running costs as understandably people are wary. My suggestion has been to avoid MD's unless warranty work or they can add something to the party such as diagnostics. I had it serviced at Dick Lovetts end March...

Too right ! I looked for an age before getting the one i was happy with and once found i jumped on it. But where are all all the other lunatics when you want them ? I think the key is (given the market is niche) when its time to sell, spend no further money on the car and part ex or sell to...

Fair comment. Sorry work head on :firing:
