Carl Sagan Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 2 hours ago, ramit said: The car is good all in all, there is only one problem really, yet for me a rather significant one, i can't teach it to immediately give power when i want it, because the transmission is not really automatic, it has an automatic clutch system. It is a an agile machine, it U turns very tightly which i like and is great on the open road if i discount the need to tickle the accelerator before overtaking. Will change cars soon probably. An obvious solution would be to go electric and leave the world of gears behind for ever. Instant power when you want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Still got my A35 4Matic AMG, 3 years old, full MB service history, less than 6000 miles on the clock. Fancying a last petrol powered fling in a new Type R Civic, before going the electric route. kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong, Archied and jono 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a M140i the last time around which I bought for exactly the same reason,my last blast in a non phev/ev. I didn't keep it that long but enjoyed it whilst I had it.

Had a Cupra 290 SC last time out, it could never quite cope with getting the power down. That looks nice though, for an SUV. kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Just agreed to sell my car the Motorway way. It'll be fun to see how close to the reserve price the offers get, and how much they'll try to beat me down on the price if I accept a bid.

Reserve price of 32k, offered price of 28.5k. Waste of time. JoetheRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reserve price was set by Motorway, not me btw. I expected maybe £1500 less, after some haggling, but £3.5k was a bit too much of a drop.

Was interested in how motorway performed re how much price dropped from original price they set , I know we buy any car set they’re by current auction prices then haggle a bit over condition, was pleased they only dropped £500 from estimate before inspection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time, they offered £30,200 on line, and only knocked £200 quid of on inspection. Reluctantly took it, and caught the bus home.
