are these fair priced ?
i usually buy a cheap yoke and then drive it . but iv been told in no uncertain terms that this car is to be in good condition !

thanks

On the First one, blue avensis. Nct out since 3rd August this year. 3 owners.

Second one, passat 1.6" nct till may next year, 4 owners

Primera, I wouldn't bother tbh.

Other passat. Yes maybe,

would that ring alarm bells ??

i myself think the passat is too dear but my folks have one , never a problem

It'd be between the avensis and the second passat for me,
I wouldn't buy a car with an OY reg myself though!

At that price level, not much point in buying from a dealer.


Wouldn't ring alarm bells, but you'd think they would have tested it.

Tey can just tell you they couldn't get an appointment,

I wouldn't settle for a guarantee that they'd put it through the test in a few months or whatever.

Very little value in buying a car of that age or price range from a dealer as the profit margin is not big so the dealer is unlikely to spend much on fixing any issues. Better off buying private.
