hi thanks i just forwarded him that to tell me i know some of them but i will await his reply to put the rest up.

VAT reciept?????

do you mean can he provide a vat receipt for selling purpose..?

CharlieCroker

Yes, Basically. if he's vat registered, any new owner can also claim vat back on the vehicle if the new owner is also vat registered.

If your mate isn't vat registered, it means any new owner can't claim the vat back and as a result, the jeep is worth 21% less than an identical jeep that has a vat reciept and will make it harder to sell to a business user

Engine size? TDi in one of those could be anything from 2.5 to 5.0 litre (though granted the latter is very rare)

got the year wrong it is 2008 3.0 TDI V6
its grey
he is the only owner so logbook says 0
it is registered as an own goods veichle

Nice bus but in the current climate (I ain't talking about the weather) that vehicle is pretty much sale proof unfortunately. I would nearly go as far as to say he would get as more for it as a trade in against a new vehicle as he would selling it private.

True. The recession being one and this whole commercial tax thing. The whole lot is killing the price of them unfortunatley.

BTW Sophie I hope he paid all them parking tickets...:p

Havent I a good memory..;). He wont make money on it Sophie but look tell him take a 6 or 7 good pictures of it and throw it up on donedeal or on adverts.ie. You never know who would be in the market for one!!

The way I see it is,customers for them high end commercials are few and far between nowadays plus them E60k plus 4x4s (Toureag,Q7,X5) lose alot of value in the first 3 years.

sophie1234

Very good corkie :-D
Ye he isnt even expecting half of what he paid for it back! But guna stick it up and hope for the best id say :-)
Thanks guys!

It's probably similar to this one on Carzone for 32k.
