    Vehicle ownership and transfer

    I'll update when I've sorted it out They called it 'buyer unknown' and said it is essentially like scrapping the car as the car will be deregistered.

    Vehicle ownership and transfer

    Just got off the phone with the traffic department, seems I have two options, one is to scrap the car which the new owner will not be a fan of but what do i care?! and the other is to get a police affidavit and get the car registered in the name of the person who bought it from me(mechanic)...

    I've still got pictures of his ID, Yes. If I report it stolen won't that be a false report? I was paid in full.

    Vehicle ownership and transfer

    Something tells me he won't want to sign the yellow form. I know now that I should have done this in the beginning, question is, what options do I have now?

    Vehicle ownership and transfer

    Hi guys, I shot myself in the foot earlier this year by selling a car to my mechanic as I was tired of unrelated parts and stuff breaking. I sold it without a roadworthy certificate and with issues the mechanic knew required attention. He bought the car with the understanding that he would be...

    According to a tech at swedespeed auto(volvo specialists) the t3 is a 1.6l problematic engine if the maintenance was neglected in the slightest. The T5 engine is said to be solid.

    2015 2.0t Infinity q50 vs 2015 audi a4 1.8t

    The b7 has had to go to the doctor 3 times over the past 3 months. Oil leaks, tappet cover gasket leaks, timing and now oil leaks again. Got diagnostic run on the car and it came up with 12 faults, 4 of which are related to the led bulbs I put in and the rest are engine related. These range from...

    2015 2.0t Infinity q50 vs 2015 audi a4 1.8t

    Hi all, I currently drive a 2007 audi a4 b7 2.0ALT and I'm getting to a point where I'm considering getting the car replaced because it's running 252000km and starting to complain about it. I've had a look around and I'm able to find two cars in cape town I quite like but not sure which car...

    Bmw E90 320i vs Audi A4 B8/B8.5 1.8/2.0 tfsi

    How many kms did it have at the time that you purchased and what kinds of issues have you had? Are you also having to constantly add oil? There aren't many E90 320d that I've seen available, most I've seen are 320i just like the one I drove last week.

    Bmw E90 320i vs Audi A4 B8/B8.5 1.8/2.0 tfsi

    Is there much different between the b8 and the b8.5 in ownership costs? If not I may even lean towards it. I've test driven both the E90 and B8.5 over the past week and I love both cars for different reasons.

    Bmw E90 320i vs Audi A4 B8/B8.5 1.8/2.0 tfsi

    I'm really not fixed on the two cars but the interior quality and comfort is what I'm really keen on. I quite like the Volvo S60 but would this not be a more costly ownership than the two above? I'm not fixed on sedans nor German cars, my reason for picking these two as the main discussion is...

    Bmw E90 320i vs Audi A4 B8/B8.5 1.8/2.0 tfsi

    Like I said, I'm open to options but I'm really hoping to get into something bigger and better feeling than the I20
