When the car is on full lock (right hand down) the car scrapes badly and its a really harsh sounding noise, like some metal is misplaced and is scraping somewhere, but the alloys are fine, no rubbing or anything, theyve not done this until around about 2-3 weeks ago.

What could the issue be?
& how costly?
 
Aye, its going soon :) decided to pay my way to the half way stage, send the car to auction and call it a day and not drive for a while. Lesson learnt i ruddy hope!

Starting to save for a better car, got around £300ish already, need another £1700 to make me happy, which without my car is very easy haha :)

Ah well.
 
Lol! Not like you weren't told :p

Anyway, are you able to send it back now it's half payed for? Will be better than sending to auction!
 
Wow, isn't this pretty much exactly what we predicted the outcome of the Cliofail thread would be? :p See we might get slagged off for the way we call things but damn we are so often right :p

Why are you sending it to auction, you'll get virtually nothing for it? Why not sell it privately? Private entries at auction are viewed with quite a lot of suspicion! Unless you are actually just handing the car back after paying 50% of the finance?

So you've paid what £5000 to have a Clio 1.2 for 1 year?

Dude, the decision hasnt come lightly.

I have paid a lot for it, but you do what you want at a young age, you dont listen to wiser people as you clearly do know more then everyone else (clearly at 19).

Erm, if i pay 50% theyll take the car from me and cancel the contract, im not at the half way stage yet but im allowed to pay installments, paying for a car i dont own, nice one!

As for the auction, they want me to take the car there for free, pay £75 for an agent to collect providing its road worthy which is it or £250-275 for recovery.

Awsome eh, id like to sell it myself and ask them what they intend to gain as i had this priced by 3 garrages and was told 2-3k from them or 3-3.5k privately.

Im just going to save some money and reread the advice given in the past and move on :)

Lesson learnt, dont go near carshaft, dont get a car on tick unless your extremely minted and getting a good deal, and for goodness sake get something other then french next time :)

You did really annoy me at the time, but now i think about it, you, my friends, my mum, the world, all correct, especially as this spread across over 30 forums within weeks!

Next car, VW Golf 1.9 TDI or maybe the 1.6 SE poverty spec :) budget 1-1.2k What ever happens im saving up for my next car.
 
Everyone makes mistakes, serious kudos for being able to come out and admit it :)

Pop by when you've got some cash and we'll all be more than happy to make sure your next car is a much better buy :)

Quick mods look !!

Our epic threads really do help people !!

Warms that cockles that does :D
 
How close are you to 50%? if it's not much then give it back. What you get valued at a dealer is not the same as what you'll get in an auction
 
ah just read again, not the clearest but got it now :)
unlucky having to pay for a car you can't even drive!
 
what kind of crappy finance company did you go with that doesnt collect the car from you for free, the last 2 cars I had on finance I gave back to them at the end and each time they came to collect it from my house for no charge
