Car Buying Garages

[A Teenstone]

Anyone got any recommendations for a garage that'll buy a used car? No one seems to have a good word for we buy any car and the like. Good alternative suggestions appreciated.

Why don't you sell it privately?
You'll probs get more for it.

Certainly a consideration mate. Just a thought to estimate value (yes I know it'll be low)

Had the same car myself a few years ago.
Loved the torque on it but it was shite build quality.
My seat frame snapped twice.

Get a price from we buy any car.
Go along to them and see what the “real” price is.
Take the car to a few garages and take the offer of the first one that offers well in excess of the original wbac price.

Alternatively, you can sell it privately with hagglers and tire kickers bothering you all the time.

Or give Ross at Bridgend motors of Chester Le Street a ring. He’ll get you a price sharpish.

Shit build quality.
It was a recall on the Mazda 6, along with the timing chain stretching.

Aye loved the engine.
Looking after the dpf was a pain in the arse though

A slow metabolism can affect anyone marra. I wish you well on your weight loss journey.

It is, although par for the course with a modern diesel. Pointless owning one unless you are doing the miles for the dpf to work as it should.

If you drive fast it is better for the dpf

I take it the seat frame is a regular issue with Mazda 6?

30 minutes at 50mph once a week seems to work for me, most annoying part is I don't know when it is in the cycle until I turn off the engine and the fan runs

I binned the diesels off 3 cars ago.
