    Really? I’d imaging there isn’t enough TS officers to deal with every dodgy internet sale, certainly not to investigate individual cases. Bodgit & Scarper will be doing good trade via their £30 phones. If you were a bit unscrupulous I reckon you could be raping the arse out of punters at the moment, especially as plenty of them are of the ‘greedy parasite’ variety - all waiting to be had over. Funnily enough I already know of one greedy **** who’s been had for £1500 over a £2500 item - the greedy are always taken in by a cheap price.

    I think it was Vardy’s who pulled off a master stroke a few years before they sold out.They had thousands of customers who were in big negative equity with finance deals.I often heard our guys describe some punter that we couldn’t deal because they had been ‘Vardy’d’.Legend has it that Vardy’s contacted all their punters who were halfway into their finance agreement.They apparently sent them a template letter for them to sign ,voluntary terminating their finance agreement.Halfway through an agreement you are entitled to do that but it had passed us by.The punters then just bought another car from Vardy’s .If it was true,I thought it was brilliant.

    great interview, i always thought the family pulled off one of the best moves ever in this industry, sold out to pendragon in 2005 for £450m, at the time of sale the reg vardy brand name was so strong in the north east that it wasn't included in the sale! then used the money to start again with the same name, and quickly became worth more on paper than pendragon, legendary stuff.

    JLR, Aston Martin, Vauxhall announced today they're opening up as did B&Q Am still going to sit back and wait for the second surge of cases because there will be a lot. People will become complacent. If am wrong then am wrong. Still a lot of people dying daily 600+ today and I think the big bosses are just concerned about £££
