“A sound car with original paint and clean history. The front discs will need replacing within a year. Use the estimate to negotiate around £10k off.”
Dan“I've had the car independently inspected. The front carbon-ceramic discs are cracking around the drill holes and will need replacing within a year, which is £9,800 to £12,500. The rear tyres are at 3mm. I'd like that reflected in the price.”
