I’ve been chatting with this supplier called Tina on WhatsApp for the past few weeks. I’m looking to buy a Prada Nylon Re-Edition 2005 rep and it’ll be the first time I buy a rep. I’ve asked her lots of questions and she’s been really patient. She’s asking £180 GBP for the bag and covered a £20 discount.

I have asked if they have a grading system and what grade the bag is, if so (remember I don’t really know what I’m doing lol) she replied with:

“The product comes from the same factory as the original, with all materials and details 100% replicated - only the highest quality is offered. We only make high-quality products because high-quality replicas can replicate the original exactly, not just those cheap knockoffs that are obvious fakes at first glance. I don't want my customers wasting their money.❤️”

Has anyone heard of this seller? The shop name she gave is Tangma2088. Are they reliable? I’m willing to spend the money but I need to know if this is a reputable seller and if not, where the best place is to buy this bag. Attached are the images she sent.

Any feedback would be much appreciated :)

One of my partner’s clients (a 91 year old retired female surgeon) is selling her 2008 Mercedes C280 Elegance as she’s too old to drive. She’s the only owner. (Her son is selling it for her, have yet to inquire about full service history, but good chance he’ll be able to provide it)

The car has mainly been kept in a locked garage and has only been driven around in Kensington, London. The car only has 52,000 miles on it. It’s passed its last MOT and tax on it has been paid until end of year. She’s asking 3K for it as that’s what she says she’s been quoted.

I know it won’t be cheap to drive, petrol wise. Tax isn’t cheap either, but I can afford it. Is it worth getting a PPI done on it? Or should I ask a mechanic to check out specific parts of the car/ issues ie subframe corrosion (what else to look out for)? I want to use this as a weekend car and it will be kept in my locked garage.

What do you all think, going from what I’ve told you, could this be a sound buy?
