    Car help needed, please, asap!

    Milky oilcap might just be condensation. Leave the car running, and make sure the engine fans kick in, look at the cooler bottle, is there oil residue init. The price might reflect the condition, but does it reflect the amount of money needed to put it right, needs spraying, servicing...

    my cream clio

    I like the colour, would have a standard front and rear bumper and a set of 16's then it would be a nice car imo. Like the dehandled doors But show cars are all about being different so well done and good look with it

    Buyer pulls out, what to do

    Perhaps, but i take people on face value, and I didn't want a lot of calls and me having to fob them off untill i recieved the money, that just messes people around.

    Buyer pulls out, what to do

    She just said 'i don't know what you want to do about the deposit' to which I replied, I need to speak to him and come to an agreement, i advised perhaps if he can't speak he could email me, heard nothing back yet:S

    Buyer pulls out, what to do
