I know they aren't used much anymore, but just be aware a bank draft is a cheque written by a bank that takes exactly the same amount of time to clear as a normal cheque.

80k on this case or was it 70k

99% of the time, I do this myself. I have also started doing this on minor cosmetic prep (wheels, very light scuffs). I explain to the customer (if they complain). Yes Sir, the wheels need a refurb but I have left them to allow the customer to choose the colour. We always MOT after POS so that you get a brand new FULL MOT. This has a few benefits. 1) Helps cash flow 2) Sometimes people do not care about a scuffed rim (if it is minor) 3) I sometimes use a refurb instead of discount or I will say, "I will knock off £200 if you accept the wheel condition for example." In which case, I haven't actually given any discount. MOT's are always done, no room to negotiate on that point.

I'm not much of a football fan anymore, but there's a big disparity between the teams at the top and the teams at the bottom. Some over perform for the size of the club and budget and some under perform (I had to suffer watching The Bournemouth Everton game on telly with a mate on Sunday). Rory has staff, works v hard and has some heavy bits and is def up the league table & deservedly so for his effort, risk and exposure to get where he is. I've always had the cars MOT'd, serviced and Pdi'd once they've sold, because- well this is the way it's always been over the years. I realise that things change and you need to adapt or die, so I've learnt many lessons over the past year or too, from the likes of Rory and others on here, including that I maybe need to have them 'ready to go' due to todays 'I want it now' society.

No - 40+ Minimum. Very efficient in terms of prep and having cars ready to go. Few obstacles in front of buyers. Desirable stock. Work fucking hard. I certainly spend more time in the business than anyone else I know.

Honestly the worst thing anyone can do is follow Cap. As the auctioneers always say - 'Throw away the book on this one'. Its miles out, absolutely miles on out anything.

There is some serious losses on this thread , Giving me heart palpitations reading this Christ almighty if I lost some of these figures I would never recover my sanity . I lost a £5 note 2nd August 1984 , it fell out of my pocket when i was riding back from the bike shop after collecting my new Yamaha FJ 1100 and that fiver still haunts me to this day .

As soon as Brexit is done.....
