Typical council tax in England will rise by 4.7% in April By Kevin Peachey Personal finance reporter 27 March 2019 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/business-47718718 Typical council tax bills in England will rise by 4.7% in April - the second biggest increase in a decade, official figures show. The levy on an average Band D property will go up by £78 to £1,750, the government said, in part owing to the cost of policing and adult social care. |

Lexusgs430: Thanks Lexus430. But imagine a car sold by Davechapelle for £600 being advertised on Autotrader for £2000 Makes me think those eBay, Gumtree, preloved websites etc may have overpriced cars. Please, any Nairalander who wishes to sell at sub-1000 just like Davechapelle did should hit me up. |

RalphJean: You have to be systematic in your search. Don't buy from a dealer, buy directly from the owner/associates...... Dealers would prepare the car, fix any fixables and some would even offer warranty + capital tie down interest (all this comes at a price)..... Lots of bereaved kids selling dads/mums car, at giveaway prices...... In my banger buying days, buying a cheap car was like a degree course........... 3 Likes |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by DaveChapelle: 12:31pm On Mar 28, 2019 |
RalphJean:I was desperate for cash. Eventhough there was nothing wrong with the car. Other than higher insurance, a little boredom, a bit juice greedy. Webuyanynonsense offered me £200. I really wasn't logical selling for 600, but in reality, i couldn't brush up the car like the dealers did, and didn't want to incur a new annual insurance bill. But great car, if i was in Nigeria, would have given it to somebody |

Yeah but i think those are only better if you are going on low budget. Personally, buying a priced car from individuals on those sites is risky. You've got to really know what you are doing to take that risk.. Lexusgs430: |

Banger Tips........ - You must have time to view and test drive - Be prepared to pay for vehicle data checking - Have enough time to search through all known classifieds - Narrow your vehicle search to particular brands/models - Read vehicle reviews online - Be familiar with documented faults - Check through previous MOT history, check through failures, mileage etc etc - Check for cost of road fund licence - Check cost of insurance - Service history is a good feature - Number of previous owners is a good indicator - Have a present value indicator, for different types (dealer, part exchange, used good, used bad etc etc) - Never rush to buy the 1st car, another better car is always around the corner -Never believe what the seller says, do your own checks and tests - Know your pocket size - Test all knobs, switches and everything (if something us not working and you like the car...... Bargain time - Properly test the AC - Test drives very important, don't let seller dictate the pace (be reasonable - Take along with you, an OBD11 scan tool (for some brands, different scan tool is required) - Check that tyre thread is within the legal limit, on all 4 corners - When you finally buy a car, NEVER drive it home without road fund licence and insurance.............. All this can be organised in 20 minutes........ When I remember more, would add...... 7 Likes 7 Shares |

RalphJean: if u like it so much, there are many IS 200s on autotrader...the A/c in mine wasn't working anyway...blown fuse or so....there are some for less than 1k, but i must say, if u r the 1st time UK driver....the insurance is pricy....and it has a high fuel consumption. I would advice you look for a good VW golf 1.6 litre. that's the other car i might have gone for, they are fun to drive, i hear Seat Leon is also a spanish golf of sorts 2 Likes 1 Share |
