Hi all,
I'm in the market for a replacement for the VW and came across this site
in Colchester:
http://auto-tradelink.co.uk/
Now, their prices are pretty unbelievable and I know if something looks
TGTBT then it usually is. Anyone local know anything about this outfit?
Is it worth me even looking or are they a bad dealer?
Cheers,

repairing and won't make it's next MoT, I'm pretty unconcerned about how
old a car is, rather that it's mileage is under 75k and the price is
under £1k.
Anyone know of anything or anywhere closer to my home?
Cheers :)

Ignore the mileage requirement, straight off. That's just an invitation

to bottom-feeders to rape your wallet. Never mind the condition, look at
the nice pretty numbers on the dash. If you're lucky, they might actually
be accurate.
Under a grand, there are bargains to be found - but one's thing for
certain, they _ain't_ with traders. A grand in the 'screen on a forecourt
today is yesterday's £300 auction purchase.
