trade vet

You are right.He was doing his job discussing various Brexit scenarios in a meeting with ministers and not in public.It appears details of the worst case scenario were then leaked to the media.

Hi Lucas You must be very carefull.Keep in touch with us guys,you are entering ‘shark infested waters’.You need potential partners trading accounts and personal bank statements going back 3 years.You will need to check them out at Companies House and also get various other references.

Mark Carey manages to get his contract extended then comes out with ‘ there could be economic chaos with a no deal Brexit and house prices could fall by a third if interest rates rise’.He should know that his statement will have an immediate adverse effect on trade.He is probably now trying to get fired and get a bigger pay off with his contract extension. Sorry Carney.

A good auto example James.I have just been checking my notes from Wed.at BCA Newcastle.In the UKCG premium section 61 Jag,warranted 9k,leather,no nav.Cap Clean £11300 ish ,it was provisional at £9600.I was watching online but it appeared a nice car.That would probably retail for £12950 down your way.

It’s ‘horses for courses’ and there are definateley regional differences in this job.If I was in the South East and needed high spec petrol auto stuff I would be following the northern auctions.There are good freelance buyers who attend most auctions who for £50 will inspect and buy a car for you.For instance,we have bought manual Mercs for years in the south where they are frowned on.

Our accountant also submits all our HMRC stuff on line.However my understanding is that MTD involves a lot more.I think HMRC want the ability to access from ‘the cloud’ your income and expenditure from last week and your quarterly VAT return will be like submitting annual accounts.It will probably be a disaster like Universal Credit,Free Schools ........and Find and Fund My Car.

That’s right.It just means more people will fiddle more.

Thread was ..MTD just what you need ....17th July....people generally don’t understand the implications.I asked my accountant to get me age related digitally challenged dispensation from HMRC.He said I have got no chance !

I had never heard of gilfs,I thought it must be some MX5 conversion company from Guildford like the Chelsea Tractor Company.I know a trader who is a MX5 expert retailer,you may know him Andy.As for these gilf punters you refer to,I imagine you must look like Brad Pitt or George Clooney.I hope you don’t look like the average Geordie pie eater with a shaved head.I think these gilfs will be far better punters than these’ Wonga’d up under 40 ‘ chucky duffers we keep getting........Do a few today guys !

Don’t let it put you off buying from private sellers.If you have the time and patience you can get some good stock.

So he would only let you view the car in Aldi car park ?

Out of interest how did he want paying .

Autoglym products are great but expensive and if you employ valeters you have to keep it in your safe and monitor it’s use.

Hi Noacross Yes thank you,we have made some progress this week,painters and roofers have finished,Phones/internet connected,roller shutters fixed etc,signed up to HPI and Click Dealer who appear to be very good.Still about 3 weeks away and over budget so probably won’t be able to afford the ‘sheepskin’ unless they are deemed essential for our work and are fully tax deductible (wife says they are about 2 grand now ).Maybe I could argue with HMRC that a sheepskin coat was wholly exclusive and necessary in the performance of my duties. If you go to sellyourcar2us.co.uk you may see the pitch and how it should look when we get started.

Years back we bought ex NHS minis from Ingleston,they were always red.We used to sell them as ex district nurse vehicles,the punters liked that ( although we had no idea who used them of course).

I think I have spotted it now on Gumtree.Awfull Plastic hub caps,recently fully valeted and needs a new set of plates.Amateur trader/cowboy effort looks like a typical Glasgow or Shotts auction vehicle.Probably legit though,I think he will probably now want money in quick......I would say bid him £1700 and good luck.....Now what about this NHS stuff you get offered ?

NVP is in London,helpful,I don’t think that would happen there,certainly not in my experience.

That’s wonderfull.Up here in Newcastle there is a group of dentists would you believe who have got into building large accommodation blocks with all the mod cons for the Chinese students.They fill them up at £200 to £250 per week per student then sell them on to pension funds and the like.

No sense of humour then. If they are allowing you to sell and fit tyres,that is servicing,just get on and open up.They are not going to close you down ( unless of course you are involved in stealing and supplying mopeds and selling mugging wearables and accessories )...da ...da ...da. Good Luck.

Marc...Is this a 56 Zetec 33k one owner being sold by a Commercial Dealer in Wishaw who is a Ltd company !

I think I am with Sparky and co,why would you,the chances are it will be a ‘ wrongun ‘.We have all been there......Case in point,my brother in law ( who knows little about our job )against my advice sees a cheap car on EBay.The seller was apparently a very nice guy who runs a garage workshop.So,he pays £200 deposit on PayPal and flys down to Southampton.He goes to the workshop meets the guy,pays the balance and drives back.It was a nice car and very cheap but several weeks later the Police took it from him.It had only been parked up at the garage while the owner was abroad after having some job done and the docs were left inside.The seller was someone who had only worked there 5 mins. and then did a runner.......I had to laugh ! Hi Marc If you are doing up to £3000 stuff may I enquire which area do you operate from.I happen to think that you always buy stock.

New trader policy for road risks and retail premises cover that tick all their boxes,I doubt any well known insurers annual premium would be less than £3k.

This is all very helpful,but in my experience ( it’s not like Judge Rinder) when you are in a small claims court defending yourself and you have some disgruntled Judge they may not be so reasonable towards a car dealer whatever defence you have.These people (lawyers and barristers )acting as Judges know you will not appeal......please tell me I am wrong. I once defended a small claim involving estate agents inflated fees.The judge took a dim view and I was ticked off for bringing a solicitor,we lost.Likewise,I once went with my wife to defend a small claim on behalf of her elderly father.The claimants sent an Irwin Mitchell solicitor,again the judge was not impressed and dismissed the claim.....things may have changed !
