youve sold one so you know you can sell another i can see the couple now youve just bought this peach of a car for them what are they doing walking round with their arms folded shes pointing at a stone chip with her shoes because its easier than using her fingers hes there in the shorts waiting to rev it its just a little more miles than what we wanted he says (but its 2000 less than the original one) im not sure about the colour it looked different online what will you be doing with the tyres etc etc etc dont bother,only greed takes you down this path of thorns

Just had a girl in for a new car , 65 plate Corsa she wants , Has a 08 plate corsa now to PX , 60,000 miles to which says there's no service history "its been serviced cos daddy has arranged it " she had no idea what a service was . Wants to sell her car because she wants Blue tooth and her friend has one with heated steering wheel so she wants that too Condition of car , service history , two keys , New MOT , Nearly new tyres , Just serviced ,how much her car was worth doesn't mean squat to her , wasn't even listening Colour , Blue tooth , Heated Wheel , was the search priority then monthly payments was next , Propped finance and she sat trembling for 3 mins till they said accepted and she jumped for joy . I probably need to look at a different approach to selling cars as this is now the norm here , different world to mine .

In her eyes she just bought a 4 year old heated steering wheel with buttons on it with a Bluetooth system. Also got a car thrown in as a bonus.

They do give us some vouchers for the cafe but they don't serve champagne and they couldn't pay me to see them girls dancing

Depends if its a car we stock as far as I'm concerned . If it is I ask for a time scale of 1 month and £1,000 up front . If it isnt a car we stock I ask for 50% of retail price . eg A guy asks me to source a BMW 320d Convertible in white with Black Leather yesterday , he's got 10k to spend so I said I don't stock those so I need 5k . He wanted to look round it first he said then make his mind up . Its A BORIS NO DEAL THEN I SAID

I wish that was my biggest issue. Hardly a major drama, just apply for a new one and sell the thing. Worrying over this is a waste of your time. If the car goes in your name, no one will care - some even expect the car to be registered to the trader who is selling it.

How old was she? I'm surprised she came by herself. It swings either way, they're either clueless and just want gadgets (and pray that you have them or they walk), or they're overcautious and won't listen to sense.

Hope you did her over on the px price. Only the parents to blame imo if you raise a child that sheltered of responsibility and awareness.

Its the modern car that's shite more than BCA I reckon . The problem started with making these cheap little Shitty cars cos people only know CHEAP the general public have forgotten the phrase " Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten " They just pass the problem on down the line now ,

I remember complaining about poor reception so I got a big fancy thing built into a briefcase, like a Navy Seal magnaphone! Battery was always flat?

Exactly the way to do it. I personally only source cars that i stock so that if they change there mind i have new inventory at a discounted rate.

This is the way to go .

i have been asked this a few times with the minis pay me 10% of what you are looking to spend and 2-3 week to source something if i cant you can have your money back. Only done it once but worked out well happy customer.

Is it snowing?

they have rejected your answer is really to suck it up or go legal as misrepresentation but this would fail my answer is do you need them more than they need you? if you have to buy from them then i suggest you just bite the bullet i argued over £125 refund this week with an auction house manager,i got my credit but i know my cards now marked as a *********

People calling Audis 'Or-dees'. (White dog poop is in fact Fox-poop I think).

You don't see it very often because it's become highly collectable - I've witnessed someone nabbing some and going off with it in a plastic bag.

What happened to it? It was all over the streets in the 70s.

It should be “in trade” so once sold tax it at the post office with a V62 in the customers name. Does 1 extra owner seriously devalue a car now? All those 2/3 year old Ferraris with 3 or 4 owners must be cheap

Yes

Yes, felt a right brucey bonus at the time. Then it went to 20%

Character building. :0)
