Went to allied in Glasgow the other day and was offered £3.500 for my 3yr old Skoda Octavia with 82.5000 miles on the clock against a brand new just out of the packet E7 what do you think. I work under West Dunbartonshire Council who are currently trying to push all saloon H/C drivers into wav cars :?

bad deal sell saloon on market and negotiate discount on e7

£10,000 discount would be about right.

I would re-license your Skoda and sell as a complete unit.

Then make an offer of about two grand less than Cab Direct want. At the moment they are after volume sales, to put LTI into second place.

Stick with the Octavia or go for a TX1/II - most would agree that it's best to avoid the E7

I'm not a great fan of the E7s, but the lads who I know that have got them, love them. :shock:

Some drivers have come on here moaning about them. But it seems once they get in touch with Cab Direct direct, and show them the posts on here, the problems have been sorted.

I think this happened with the Dundee trade, and Cab Direct sent the boys around to sort out all the problems. \:D/

If you do volume wheelchair work,I would say the opposite,TX11,s are
too tight for the majority of chairs,where as E7 plenty of room to manouvere chairs.

They say the old jokes are the best, and this one is sooooo old.

There's one born every minute, and they all seem to buy a bread van and delude themselves into believing it's a "purpose built"
