eBay is shite atm aswell

Reckon we should all leave them a few 5* reviews to cancel out the prick.

Hi Matt, what other "faults" does your used car have?

Depends what makes you tick I suppose. All I know is people mess you about and have no respect for the fact you also have a life to live. Your business your choice. No right or wrong and whatever you do have no regrets!

Fucking peasants the lot of them got a VW I can’t wait to leave

Id put the money into autotrader and stick a few “Approved Dealer” flags up instead

You have to blend into the surroundings become one of them. Get yourself a Barbour jacket and a really high opinion of yourself and start talking really loudly about Bourneo. The Fiestas are being flung at you before you know it.

All my stock comes off there. Absolute bargains. There and BCA Multi Vendor. Cheap too.

It will go up by £200 based on what package?

"Hard earned gold quickly escapes those who fancifully wager it on propositions or business with which they are unfamiliar!" I can only echo the sentiments of others about risk, so a question; how long has it taken you to amass the money you have to invest in cars? How would you feel if you pissed it away? Trust me, it's much nicer to have the money stare at you longingly but safe from a bank than it is from the needy bonnet of a broken car. You have a skill few have so if you're seeking something motor related maybe you could use the knowledge you have but tailor it toward your interest and start studying electrical engineering in relation to vehicles? We all know the industry is shifting that way. Maybe start learning about hybrid cars/ batteries etc? Maybe you just like the idea of being self-employed? Couldn't you start a contracting company in your field.. get some work/ contracts... employ some people... buy some vans... grow that business - you're ahead of the game already in that you know the field. Just my thoughts but your post seems more like a cry for an escape than a considered plan. Let me tell you, quite often I loathe the idea of my mundane job. The grass ain't necessarily greener chap.

I’ve never met one of these “local traders”... any tips for finding one?

How have they got their hands on these? We sold a nice Rover 25 a while back and the customers are something else.

Just picking up on what others said about EbayMotorsPro - dead as any thing for a long while now. Signed a long contract not long ago and feel like trying to get out of it somehow. Feel like the eBay browsers have moved onto Facebook.

Why? Not being facetious just curious. Usually luxury/ aspirational goods markets fail just before a depression/ recession. A pretty solid indicator.

Non In-house??? mileage?

Can you imagine the amount of cars on the don’t buy list!?

Does the air con work?

I'd write her a letter of complaint and threaten to take her to court for defamation if she doesn't remove the reviews within the next 14 days. It's £60 and probably worth it for a laugh. Dirty miserable old girl needs teaching a lesson. Tell the finance company to fuck right off aswell.

Is it hypocritical to criticise him for taking advice from an Internet forum while giving advice on an Internet forum... ?

Sounds like your business partnership is nearly fucked mate. Don’t sue your business partner though - you‘ll both end up way out of pocket and it’s a bit of a bitch move. In terms of my other advice for future you have to take responsibility more. If you’d have offered to pay the £3k increase caused by your accident, something they probably think of as your mistake which has pissed them off as they’re out of pocket, you wouldn’t be in this situation. Don’t drag it out or go legal. Sit round a table with all 3 of you there and discuss what’s going on. It sounds to me like only one of them has taken you off the insurance? Does the other know? I doubt they’re both sitting around plotting against you so get things out and decide whether you can still work together... seems a shame after 20 years your first thought is post online in a Internet forum that’s brand new to you and take advice from complete fucking strangers. Sorry. Harsh but true.

Can see it working on new cars. Would hurt the franchisee model and probably mean more px’s go to WBAC.

Is this thread a joke... I'd have laughed the phone down. Don't even entertain him.

I put a link below. I found out by watching demos of it on YouTube. A mechanic I use has it and he uses it more than his £3000 Snap on. Was a bit sceptical when I first saw the demos, then the price but after seeing him use it I’m going to get one. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F192949318786

I know it sounds sketchy but I’d use eBay. Choose a vendor who’s sold a load of them with good feedback and pay with Paypal and you get protection if anything goes wrong. As a cheaper alternative have you looked at putting WOW on a tablet?

Worst month of the year so far.
