    TG, Honestly, whats the worst that can happen? I dont know you're personal circumstances, But there's plenty of people out there who've gone bust and picked themselves up and gone again. Not yet 40? plenty of time for it to go right, go wrong, go right again. Recessions happen every decade or so.

    I remember a funny story years ago with an old boss bought a c max damaged repairable with rear damage with no number plates had the trade plates on it and caught speeding with a camera they sent photos which were blurry and he said he. Couldn't be sure who was driving so they sent new photos blown up and you could see his face clearly down to logo on the marlabo cigarette he was smoking at the time was a big arrow written on it with a sharpie pointing to his face it said IS THIS YOU ! in big capitals

    could this be dean MARK talbot ? are you claiming through your insurance for the stolen car ? has the identity been swapped on the car ? you need to find out sharpish how much this "innocent purchaser" paid for the car, because if he claims he paid well below book , then a judge will assume he knew the car was "hot" and return the car to you. if he claims he paid the going rate then you maybe in for a struggle. i would, if the insurance is not involved, engage a solicitor straightaway to fight your corner , all the best. He hasn't. what, and pay twice ?

    "The UK-based startup’s mission is to make buying a used car no different to buying any other product online – allowing consumers to select from thousands of cars online and have them delivered to their door in as little as 48 hours." Hahaha distance selling, what could possibly go wrong? Free car hire for 2 weeks anyone?

    There is a lot of that to isn't there different models making better money up and down the county I remember guys years ago buying landrovers up in scotland and selling them in England one guy i know did well out off it sold his business and retired what i meant with the sometime you cant explain are prices in general watched stuff go through the auction at times and make close to main dealer money a car we looked at once the old ad was on and the main dealer wanted £500 less than it made in auction .. also at £11000 there would have been the fees etc although as you say you could probably still took profit it out if there popular in your area ..

    Do they f***, tbh I think half of them don’t even look at the cars judging by the shit they write and by what they miss.

    Time to make a plan B TG if your that worried. If you honestly say you have done all you can with your adverts and there all being presented perfectly. What else can we do to earn some money in the meantime. We are quiet at the moment aswell but we also have a bunch of crap stock i want to move. But there is no point in me selling it cheap to buy more when i cant buy anything.

    This is why I like hearing about traders who are doing well (not the liars). Because if others are doing well, it means it's still in our hands. That aside though, I wish I had a plan B, because I'm honestly quite scared. If a recession hits now, my life won't get off the ground before I'm 40.

    The Consumer marketplace runs on confidence. Take it away or reduce it and there will be a drop. Brexit isnt helping. the last financial issue 10 years ago hasnt been properly sorted out yet, however most on here have done well in that time. Dont panic (yet). I think its DH who says if its quiet, look at what you're doing first. Because you are the only one who can change it.

    Hi How does a car in trade that's not on the MID get a NIP sent to my house 4 days after my customer went through a camera quoting the reg number on the NIP , so its not the trade plate number that they quoted but trade plates are on the MID . Was we found by trade plate number then ?

    Those of us old enough to remember the recessions of the 80's and 90's will know why. We've not had a "real" recession for 30 yrs or so, where we see large scale unemployment and significant drops in housing values. The idea of being unemployed for 2-3 yrs can be enough to scare you into not trading up your car, especially if you've just paid off the last one and are looking at making a fresh £200-£400 per month commitment on the new one. We bought our first house in the early 90's and viewed lots of repos (our place was a part exchange property probably sold at 25% off what the last owner had paid for it). If we see the same again, people will be losing 10's or 100's of Thousands. Not a few. Markets work on confidence, and Brexit is ripping that out of the economy fast, and no-deal would accelerate it. On the upside, a few property bargains will come about, classic 911's might go down to sensible money and zombie businesses (as Thomas Cook were technically) will leave the market reducing competition and increasing margins.
