Evening all, I bought a 2020 skoda superb sportline from whelan transport about a month ago, so thought i’d share. The process was actually very easy. my bank did pause the transfer initially because it was a new payee, but once I confirmed what it was for, it cleared the same day. Whelan Transport explained that the funds stay in a separate holding account until the car arrives and you confirm you’re happy, mine turned up after 6 days, freshly cleaned and better than expected.

They’re based in belfast, so popping over isn’t really practical for me. Whelan Transport offered home delivery and explained the payment goes into a segregated company account, not straight to them but still feels a bit risky though, especially wiring that sort of money.

do they actually have a yard you can visit? even if you don’t end up going, a company being open to viewings is usually a good sign. If they dodge that question I’d be wary.

Never bought from whelan transport myself but i’d say your caution is fair. Repo cars can be great value, but only if the company behind them is genuine I picked up a car from a finance auction last year and saved a fortune, definitely worth doing your homework before committing.

Hey I’m looking for a the first first car for my lad and came across a 2021 BMW 320d SE listed on eBay at first glance i assumed it was a private seller, but it turns out the advert is managed by Whelan Transport up in belfast. They mentioned that the car is a repossession acquired through an auction, which clarifies why it’s priced lower than comparable options nearby. Has anyone here had experience with Whelan Transport before? I'm attempting to determine whether this is all genuine or if I should consider stepping back. Thanks

I comprehended the amount as £20,000 and the miles as 70,000 to 80,000. I would be concerned if a nine-year-old diesel vehicle had only 20,000 miles.alarm bells

Does 20,000 refer to miles or price?

New diesel vehicles are now prohibited. Non-hybrid petrol engines will be succeeded by all internal combustion engines.

I acknowledge that; but, with the forthcoming BMW model release, the prices of the F series are likely to decline imminently.

The price of 335s has been unchanged for the past three years. My value remains equivalent to that of three years prior. Electric vehicles are culpable, and this is beginning to impact all internal combustion engine vehicles.

£20,000 for a nine-year-old BMW F series diesel with 70,000 to 80,000 km is astonishing. After driving it for two years and accumulating over 100,000 miles, what would its value be? The F series is becoming somewhat outdated.I would contemplate a 330d from the G series...just my two cents.

It appears you have misinterpreted the information; the original poster is seeking to purchase for £20,000, not 20,000 miles.

I would be more apprehensive regarding the low mileage, which is quite uncommon for a diesel vehicle. Firstly, individuals typically purchase them for higher mileage. Secondly, I would seek evidence of the mileage, such as MOT records, invoices, or signs of wear on interior components.It is possible that a mileage blocker has been installed; examine all screws utilised for its installation and removal. Assess the wear on the brake pads in relation to the mileage driven; at 20,000 miles, it is conceivable that the original pads are still intact, as well as possibly the tires. These are a few aspects to scrutinise; it may be legitimate, but it is prudent to exercise caution.Obtain a scan from ISTA; I believe miles are integrated into some modules.

I will correct that for you.

Seeking to purchase a 2017 BMW 335D for less than $20,000. All possess approximately 70,000 to 80,000 miles on the odometer. Should I be very concerned about timing chain problems? Should I simply confront the challenge and proceed?

The original battery warranty still valid, correct?

I am unaware of any extended warranty that excludes a deductible.

Indeed, it originates from Tesla. The guarantee is valid for two years and includes a $700 deductible, a feature I have not before encountered in warranties. The warranty costs $2000. The intention is to retain the vehicle, which has approximately 104,000 kilometres on it.

Is it produced by Tesla? What is the duration and cost of the extended warranty, and do you intend to retain the vehicle for that period?

I received an email regarding an extended warranty for the Model 3 battery. Is it valuable?

Excellent, thank you. I will remove it to ascertain if it is obstructed.

Incorrect...directly atop the engine.

Thank you. Is it challenging to access?
