If the cretin had said that to me I would of promptly escorted him off my land.....Moronic, **** taking little ****..

take that horrible badge of the front and it will be sold friday lunch

Had a mechanic friend of a customer come to view a 1.2 Corsa, first thing he said was as the timing belt been changed ! mmmmm

Indeed. As an example, Driving Instructors seem to be busy and in my region, they have waiting lists like the NHS for taking your test.

No offence Rob, but as nice a car as that Megane maybe with a great price, it just looks bloody awful. I'd rather wake up wth Katie Hopkins than pull the curtains back and look at that first thing in the morning .I say that as someone who buys and sells a lot of Megane Coupe's and think they are a great looking car in the right colour and spec. Bit unfair to blame the state of the job on stuff like that not selling IMO.

It’s dead alright. As for Toyotas I’d imagined Aurises would be good news - I’ll think again. First one, petrol, average mileage, one owner, FSH, like new. Sat here for two months without a single call & only sold because a man came to view a Peugeot van & suddenly changed tack Second one, low mileage diesel, FSH, dog cock red, a few marks but cheapest in the UK. About 99% of calls were a waste of my time & after 3 weeks it went to the only sensible man I spoke to. I don’t bother anymore trying to work out what sells because what I think is decent clean stock with FSH sits here without opening the door to a customer yet I’ve had shite with crumpled wheel arches & rippled quarters go out for a nice little wage. To be honest a compound full of absolute shit (at shit money) would do me at the moment.

Exhausted. Just had four Romanian guys here looking over a car. Only one spoke anywhere near reasonable English. Their mechanic was very good. But they spent 30mins inspecting the car and nearly an hour haggling and horsetrading. Funny how their negotiating style is similar to our 'traveller' community They arrived in a battered silver Passat on Romanian plates which in itself is borderline cliche☺

A quick call to Fiat and it turns out a replacement key costs the same as a Hugo Boss watch. Not that I'd buy a Hugo Boss watch but It looks better value than a shitty Fiat key. The car works without the key anyway so I'm trying to flog it to a neighbour who's lad has fallen in love with its alloy wheels and side skirts.
