They stated that I do not own a £250 voucher for my initial insurance claim; nonetheless, I received an email from Kia confirming that I am entitled to this benefit and should not overlook it. Do not be concerned about that. That is only obtainable through the third-party insurance company, not Kia. In the event of an accident, simply contact your insurance company. Utilising the third-party option will elevate your insurance company's excess, which is the whole purpose of the £250 coupon. The Kia Excess Return Voucher and Kia Accident Aftercare are offered by Car Care Plan Limited.

No, my automobile was merely five months old at the time of purchase, thus there was no necessity for either.

Thank you for your prompt response. Did you obtain a recent MOT and service at the time of acquisition?

The only consideration is the warranty; you receive the remaining duration, which in my case was 6 years and 6 months, as opposed to a fresh 7-year warranty with approval. I received the surplus voucher via email.

Despite their assertions that I could not obtain insurance, I successfully acquired it for my Sorento, which was "guaranteed" due to my statement of this:

Greetings, I acquired a Kia Assured vehicle from a "Kia approved" franchise outlet in London. The vehicle was listed as "Kia Assured" on the official Kia website. It is my understanding that all Kia Assured vehicles are entitled to identical perks. The dealership informed me that they do not offer "driveaway insurance," necessitating payment for coverage on the day I got the vehicle. Is that typical? Is the franchise permitted to eliminate some advantages from the Kia Assured list? They stated that I do not own the £250 voucher for my initial insurance claim; nonetheless, I obtained an email from Kia confirming that I am entitled to this advantage and should not overlook it. Ultimately, when purchasing the vehicle, the dealer informed me that they had conducted a recent MOT and servicing. However, they did not comply, prompting me to request their immediate action. Is it customary to exhibit such poor transparency and perhaps dishonesty regarding MOT and servicing? Thank you.

The part number in the listing concludes with 974.

Thank you for your assistance. I lack proficiency in automotive matters; do you possess the part number or know where I may obtain it?

The initial link I obtained, but you may utilise the part number to compare prices.

I have shaken the steering wheel with the engine off, and there is a knocking noise. Could you kindly direct me to the appropriate part?

It is likely the thrust piece; the 4 series includes racks with an available thrust piece repair kit, as I have replaced several. With the engine off, oscillate the steering wheel laterally and observe for any noise emanating from the rack.

I possess a 67-plate 430d, and while manoeuvring slowly and turning, I hear a knocking noise that appears to originate from the driver's side. The steering is smooth, and there is no noise when the wheel is turned in place, but only while turning when moving slowly. I am removing the tray to inspect the suspension components in case it is an arm or similar part. Can anyone provide guidance or identify the issue based on my description, specifically about if it is likely a bearing problem? I have read that some automobiles may lack a repair kit due to varying steering racks installed. Could someone inform me about the specific steering rack I possess and whether a repair kit is available?

It will likely require a pull on a jig to execute it correctly.

The cross-piece is decidedly misaligned, raising concerns about the potential presence of a bent chassis leg behind the hood.

Currently, there are no W213 E63 saloons available on Autotrader for under £37,000. I am uncertain whether you are informed about the current valuation of these vehicles. I would not place significant importance in Motorway's valuation of the aforementioned 44,000-mile 2018 vehicle. I aim to increase it by £4,000 to £5,000, which is attainable. If the engine of the aforementioned vehicle is intact, the value of £10,000 is nearly depleted if sold in parts. I dedicated numerous hours over the course of 12 months or more meticulously verifying the costs and choices of these vehicles before ultimately purchasing mine. In contrast to other models, there is not an excess of them available for purchase at any given time. I believe there were never more than 52 saloons, and at one point, the number decreased to 23, thereby providing a limited selection of vehicles. The car in question is not a suitable example, regardless of its condition, whether damaged or undamaged. However, if undamaged, it would be valued at over £30,000, in my opinion. I find amusement in observing Autotrader listings for pricey Edition 1 vehicles featuring matte finishes, still bearing asking prices in the upper £50,000 range, despite being on the market for several months. Sellers must maintain realism; yet, even a dog like the aforementioned might still command a reasonable price from a someone with a constrained budget eager to get one. It required several years for the 212 to decrease in price to below £25,000, and the same applies to the 213, which has fallen below £35,000 (in my opinion, of course).

In my opinion, that car, even in 'non-crashed' condition, was never valued at £35,000 in this world. My 2018 vehicle, which has 44,000 miles, is currently valued at approximately £38,000 according to Motorway. Therefore, with 104,000 miles, even that asking price seems overly ambitious.

Indeed, it must be priced at ten thousand dollars, which likely approximates the amount the seller originally invested. It is an almost eight-year-old vehicle with 100,000 miles on it. It would be challenging to locate an individual willing to spend 30k for it in pristine condition.

Precisely. This may attract individuals capable of performing repairs and who plan to retain it for the long run. Otherwise, it will require a significantly reduced price to facilitate a sale. A platform such as Car Vertical will display images of the damage, and the Cat N designation will remain on record. This is not a vehicle I would consider, whether in its current state or after repairs.

Perhaps £5,000 allocated for materials and £5,000 for labour, thereafter transferring it to a country that overlooks its classification as a write-off? We must not underestimate the potential for unforeseen issues unrelated to crashes that may require repair on a motor with 100,000 miles "con brio." It is difficult to conceive of anyone purchasing it "repaired" in the UK for £30,000, given that it was valued at £35,000 prior to Lemony Snicket's "A Series of Unfortunate Events."
