The owner of the gararge where it was serviced bought it. We've become trusting friends. I rang him to ask what I should ask for it. He bought it for his partner as a family run around (bit of bartering involved too, he paid a little less than we'd get as a trade in but gave us free servicing on the new car for two years - relatively low cost for him but high value to us - all parties happy). His decision to buy is real validation of his faith in his own work. Dealers coming to me to sell... so far still zero! btw: didn't pick up on your blogging my efforts Doc, I'll go look right now and apologise if I missed it. Even the thought is very much appreciated! best dc Hi all – good news is the car I was selling sold straightaway in a very ongoing relationship (VRMish) kind of way.

What is amazing me (as I observe it in practice right now) is how few vendors are even playing with the tools which might allow them to be managed. I've been trying to buy a car by simply saying so online... you might think on dealer, or a friend of a friend of a dealer might have the tools to pick up on this. Not so far!
