  1. Why dont you see what you can steal from the classified adverts. I used to do quite well out of buying from privates, I never mentioned I was trade until cash was exchanged and we filled out the yellow part of the V5. Some people dont like you making a few quid out of them. You get to tyre kick, test drive and suck your teeth then go low ball. In fact only the other day Mrs C raised the subject if doing that again.
  2. Just speak to my customers, they think they know the value of everything.
  3. opps, sorry I replied to the wrong thread

    Thats the third crap month on the trott.
  10. I rang the garage and he is doing the job for £350. Time to wipe my mouth and move on.
  11. Course they are going to get out of it. Not even sure why they sent an engineer as they never cough up within 30 days or 1000 miles. How ever it sounds like the timing has slipped. Im going to guess it now runs like a dog. If thats the case then this event happened after I sold the car otherwise. A: She would not have bought it and B: it wouldn't have gotten her home.
  12. Sorry I should have said, Thats what she was sent from Warrantywise, she forwarded it to me.
  13. She has just sent me this........ Re: Your Ref: 3130907 / KM60VWC I regret to inform you that on this occasion your repair has been declined. Your repairer wishes to replace the following part(s) on your vehicle: 1) TIMING CHAIN KIT ASSEMBLY We have received the independent engineers report and these are his findings. The rocker cover had been removed to expose the timing chain. The upper timing chain guide between the camshaft sprockets was visibly broken and sitting in the cylinder head. The repairer had informed the engineer that they had tempted to time up the engine. The crankshaft locater pin was insitu however the camshafts were visibly out of alignment by approximately half a tooth and the alignment tool could not be fitted Car is 90+ miles away in Wolverhampton.
  14. You can sell any value from home, I sold a £15k VW camper and a £16k bike from home last year..... Both easier sales than the sub £1000 shitters I have recently sold
  15. Buy it back minus mileage. New dsg box, punt it on.
  16. Hope you got at least 3 for 9k
  17. Hope I'm not tempting fate but I have not heard off her since Monday. Makes me wonder if she was trying it on
  18. What happens when everyone has paid for a sponsored advert?.. Oh yeah AT is a gazilion times richer
  19. I saw an ad the other day for Petrol VW Transporters. VW must be getting ready for the death of the diesel.
  20. I've not used AT properly for about 3 years. Once every blue moon I grease my ass up and stick a few on. I dont get any better results than I would off eBay and wonder once again why I bothered. Really hope this is the beginning of a mass exodus.
  21. How can that even be right. Are there grounds to appeal to a proper judge rather than a shop keeper
  22. I look back 10 years, and customers where reasonable people. They accepted they where buying used old vehicles and was an element of expectation that something minor might go wrong and they just delt with it. But now we seem too live in a society that doesnt like to take much responsibility. To quick to let someone else pay or deal with a problem. Few clicks on Google or a Facebook moan and everyone is Rumpole of the Bailey. I heard an advert on the radio the other day offering to sue such and such a body if they had lost on the stock market. WTF!! That's the fecking risk you take, that's like sueing the bookie because your horse didn't come in. Anyway im chatting crap..I need my morning coffee.
  23. Im not a fan myself, this one did hang around a while though.
