i put mine in Wilsons, here are some example, 2007 Golf GT TDI 147k-£650 2009 207 1.4 Sportium 100k- £375 2004 BMW 330D Coupe 145k- £850, I like to think we have a separate CAP value of CAP piss poor, unless the cars are utter bangers you will blow fortunes, none of the cars above had any visible issues and were bough and retailed on by the local toe rags

100% The hard bit is having a budget in mind. Then bid up to your maximum amount. You need to consider possible faults (parts plus labour costs), prep, MOT, advertising, auction fees, travel costs or delivery

Not paid hearing fess claim of £2000 would be £170, to be paid before hearing, so, why has he not paid this? my opinion is, he thought his case was weak, he knows you have documented evidence in regard the glow plug/s and other evidence in your defence of this case, and so, backed down. its very unfortunate that you offered refund in that space, these things happpen, so, he has reapplied, and its been struck out, excellent ! i honestly believe its been struck out because the courts believe he has no chance of winning, they dont strike it out for nothing ! See him in court, and tell him so, you have further evidence this vehicle you have not been allowed to inspect, there was no key, the garage aren't helpful, and remind him and the courts this case has been struck out twice quoting the claim number and = part 27 of the small claims track= 27.6 (b) to enable it to dispose of the claim on the basis that one or other of the parties has no real prospect of success at a final hearing. 27.6 [c] to enable it to strike out(GL) a statement of case or part of a statement of case on the basis that the statement of case, or the part to be struck out, discloses no reasonable grounds for bringing or defending the claim.

Fook it will fight all the way. We cant do anything else.

What you have missed out....traders don’t like giving other traders profit !

He’s clearly being unreasonable, without a reason to not start... ie banging it’s brains out with an oil problem, I see no reason not to start except to hide something that his garage may have done wrong?

It is very difficult these days for small traders to do any good selling at the block on a trade entry ticket.Apart from the prohibitive charges,the trade won’t bid unless it is for nothing so you are basically chasing a private punter.Then to have a half chance,the car has to be mint and you need a prime slot ( that arrangement with the yard manager usually costs money ).Then you need a ‘friendly’ auctioneer who will try hard ( that also costs money and extra money if he does well).Also,you may only be allowed 3 sale entries and they might kick it out.That is why there are very few traders earning money selling at the block.

BHM......He will never come on here now !

Seat Occupancy Mat will be my guess, just buy an Emulator off Fleabay and fit it, well out of sight up under the seat Or pay a trimmer to strip the seat and change the faulty mat

old saying but worth remembering dick with a dick and they know where you are you don't know where they are politely decline all lowball offers and move on a proper customer is just round the corned you can't reason with a nutter........................

Don’t hold your breath waiting for that c**t.

You are digging yourself a grave, did you advertsie it with a current MOT ? Or did you describe it as unroadworthy, sell it on an unroadworthy invoice and ensure the vehicle was trailored away ?? This is all very muddy......

Thanks guys for your feedback about The IMDA.

Cant ever sell anything at auction without a main dealer flag.

Yes - it's the PDI sheet List all faults and/or damages under the comments section which the customer signs

You don’t do small sums, do you Lucas :-)

The bottom line is Tony,you have been a dealer for 10 years.A judge may consider you negligent and I doubt you can use a text message to a potential customer in your defence.I think your defence should be that you have previously offered a full refund dependent on being able to collect the vehicle.You have got to defend it,but be prepared to lose.Dont forget to put a claim in now to the customer for your factual costs leading up to the struck out hearing.I am not sure,but maybe you could consider counter claiming and including the garage who have lost the keys.

I think you need a day at BCA at the coal face with a few of us, pay us back in the caff

I think da having a fraud issue is a bit over dramatic it’s far more likely that a garage rather than da themselves have a security issue. Logically if it was da’s system hacked then why stop at one dealer you would take hundreds of accounts. I know when we had this issue the hacker was in our clients outlook account.

You’ll be in the multi vendor section mate! You’re better off finding another way to sell I reckon!

Also you need to look at "invest and return" For example you can buy a car at 1500 sell for 2695 or buy something at 5500 and struggle to sell it and you sell it at 6495 months later. It doesnt mean the more you invest the more you will make. In fact you should be looking at buying the 1500 and buy a couple more with the 4000 left over rather than one at 5500...Lucas!

Blimey, OK What you need to do is liquidate those cars at the right market value ASAP. They will not get any better. Don't make the mistake of holding out for higher prices because they owe you so much. You need that money back to invest into profitable stock. You also need to think about your purchasing strategy. I would stop buying altogether until you are confident that you are buying at the right prices. Do not throw good money after bad.

As I said. More money than sense.

Still going strong 24 hours on....

The CRA states that a fault is defined as “unsatisfactory quality or unfit for purpose or not as described” It also states that if a repair is made and it doesn’t fix the problem the customer can take their short term right to reject. I’d say in both instances (the fix not working and it being entirely arguable that an airbag light repeatedly coming on constitues as unsatisfactory quality and probably unfit for purpose) that if the punter chose to, they’d be well within their right to a refund and I doubt many judges would rule in your favour given the circumstances. I’d say all the while the customer is happy for you to fix it, then fix it. As for the deduction for usage, there’s nothing written anywhere but the only rule is you can’t offer them trade money. Everything else is up to negotiation. Me personally, given that they haven’t had the car long and particularly if they have been reasonable with me, i’d refund them in full and just accept it as one of those things.

Just give them a donation.These guys have pitches to run aswell and they do IMDA for nothing.

I've done that many times, called and asked them to confirm what the details are compared to the email/invoice they've sent. .( Only because I remember the programme that RHC mentions so made me very cautious from that day!)

LOL, if only I had an edit button I'm sure ya' all know what I meant

is there any other kebab?
