    Yeah, offer him €2k and make sure he knows you need to stay inside the bangernomics budget.

    If the claimed 30,000km on this Suzuki SX4 checks out, it might be worth a look for someone.

    I bought my dad one when i took redundancy in 2015, was 10k or so for a 2011 with very low mileage at the time, 2wd version. They arent a bad yoke to drive, bit of extra height, good mirrors, look decent (imho), very easy to drive in traffic. Interior is a bit cheap, boot is not great at all, bit noisy at motorway speeds. But overall a decent enough car, hes had it 5 years nearly with no issue bar the handbrake sensor is a bit dicky and the interior lights seem to blow often enough.

    That seller also has this, looks reasonable if you could get a couple of hundred off.

    Any thoughts?

    What should be the final price?

    That's a far cry from a 15 or 16 superb ;)

    Probably a flaw on the clear plastic of the holder (or less likely the window glass).

    I'd say it's just left over adhesive from the previous disc holder.

    New model Octavia here with high(ish) miles but NCT til October for €1750

    Nicer colour, and the rear wiper motor looks like it works.

    I dunno. The body of neither is perfect and seller of the wine one did not upload any interior snaps while the beige one looks pretty clean inside. Granted though the wine one is asking less than half the price which is immense. Good spot. I always liked that wine colour in cars but was often told I was old man for doing so!

    Would be great if you came around and did mine instead :)

    You can buy a liquid foam type stuff and soak them with it for a while( take the wheels off car when doing it) and then wipe and wash off, the dirt should just dissolve off. If not fully wash thoroughly and let dry and repeat a few times till sparkling clean.

    Take wheel off, use something like Iron X, agitate with a paintbrush. Power wash off. Deeply satisfying.

    That said, the wheels on my S Type were some of the worst I’d seen for brake dust away from the easy to reach bits. I had to go at it with jif to get a layer of the baked in ****e off so cleaner would work.

    Never used anything other than water. Iron-X claims are impressive :), is the liquid foam something like Mr Muscle oven cleaner ? ( Not sure about Jif - to many hard to get to corners in the detail ? )

    Thanks all, sorry for taking the thread O/T

    No just alloy wheel cleaner. Some are a foam type stuff other a liquid. But they are strong stuff so be ready to wash it off straight away after using it as if left on it would strip the paint. It will tell you that on the instructions.

    The jif was a last resort! I’d say the wheel cleaner I was using then wasn’t the best either.
