I agree with JA although we know a 100k isn't a lot on a modern car or van it will put a lot of buyers off I also agree with you TG about your money in the two cars you know what to buy and your market in your area etc my advice would be to politely offer a low ball px on the van at a price you can afford to sit on it. remind the customer that camper vans are not really your market and you may have to sit on it for a while and its probably worth more private or on eBay etc Good luck whatever the outcome

I quite like the idea of recaros in a van those st seats are very comfy. It looks to be the right time of year for selling one but its still a 8k van that's on 134k. I think im with you trade girl unless its a decent bit of money on top id say no

Lucas is a businessman and money makes money - fact

Casper, it seemed like a fitting example haha. Funnily enough this isn't a bad time. Touch wood and thank God, for the first time in a while we have a few popular cars with a good profit. A couple of months ago it was dire straits with just crap. So I'm at least confident the cars are right, now it's just a waiting game. But definitely this job has its ups and downs!

I just pay decent money and get a proper job. Got sick of going back to our guy 2-3 times. Enough is enough.

I like how you put it I guess we all have our good and bad times at this game and up and downs but were still here doing it so we must be doing something right .i guess you will be busy when others are quiet and vice versa

Have you seen that scene in the Three Amigos where they're in the desert, and two of them are dying of thirst, and Chevy Chase just glugs down water, spilling it everywhere while the others look on in thirsty disbelief? That's how I feel right now reading that haha. That's good news though!

I know it's my fault for not checking it before nothing more to add.

Buying a car from a gentleman local to me who has owned it since brand new in 1997. When the car was purchased the cherished registration was put on straight away so it was never given an age related plate. Can the seller still remove this plate or is it know tied to this car. If it is removed will it be given an age related registration.

I'm sure as Mark said the plate can be transferred and the 1997 car will be issued with a P or R registration which ever is appropriate thats never been issued on a non transferable basis one of my previous bosses registered his Mercedes straight from brand new to his valuable private plate then bought a new Mercedes passed the previous Mercedes to his ex wife who was still part of the company with a newly issued age related date appropriate plate back around 1999-2000 which said on the v5 notes non transferable registration

I believe it will be allocated an Age Related Plate, same as any other car (in that DVLA do not guarantee you will get the original plate back).

i buy all the chrome surround number plate covers they have in stock these always lift up a dull eurobox

Remember advertising an old px escort on gumtree years ago had it advertised with company name as contact etc and had a guy phone up and ask if we would take a three piece suite in px

Anyone that refers to it as "money on top" ain't a proper buyer. Wanna buy a dag?

Still waiting on the mileage and the spec, Casper. Will update once I know.

Does Lucas ever wind up? Either the whole story is one big one up, and he's not actually foreign either. Or he's a bloke stupid and brave enough to sink his money into cars.

Use some double sided tape from Home Bargains comes in a pack of 2 rolls for a £1 Dont think cheap is tat... Its very strong and you can use plenty and plates never come off. Some excellent cheap mats at Home Bargains too for a fiver

Or he's winding his mates up... Cheers mates

Maybe he got a good/better salesman? I think I remember Lucas saying he wasn't good at sales. Or maybe he found what works for him? Certainly quick progress though.

First few cars didn’t sale for few months and now you are looking for bigger place so what’s the secrets Lucas ? :-)

Great to hear of your progress ! How many do you have in stock now Lucas ?
