EV mechanics shortage.

It's a gamble Marie, sometimes you get lucky sometimes not. But I'm not saying you have to spend 10's of thousands. Our last car cost about £4500 and we still had problems with it that couldn't have been picked up by a mechanic.

700 quid though, I reckon you could expect some trouble, why would anyone give a car away for so little otherwise?

Second car not required but maybe 5/7 years old low miles but dealers dont want them, or hibby has passed away and wife just wants it gone.
I know a chap picked up a six mth old boat for i think around 5/7 grand as the man had died and wife wanted a car, he bought the car she had here eye on and handed over papers for boat, he sold it on a few weeks later for 50 grand, a sharp eye grabs the pie.

I must admit, that's the first thing that went through my head Chris.

Nothing clever just the way life is, car sales men do it every day, i worked in 2 big garages and watched it happen every day.

Trev, I’ve been involved with selling for the best part of my working life and just because someone else does it, does not make it ethically or morally right.

Well most do it here, i wont mention the biggest dealer in the north, been up in courts many times for naughty things.
What im saying is buyer beware and know your stuff if you dont want caught out, i have had many cars brought to me not long after sale,
And to be honest they were taken on big time, i never done so, bad boys out there, watch some on the tube.
