  1. Its all about giving..... Happy Christmas everyone !!!
  2. Grant, the Specials is one of my all time favourites, I regularly listen to “ghost town” to cheer me up
  3. Driving up to BristoI today, on my own, no kids, no misses just "Deep Purple in Rock" making my ears bleed.......
  4. Is there any chance........ Is it still available ??
  5. Its rare I get issues, but when I do it all depends on how reasonable they are. When Billy buys a 10 year old car, everything that can go wrong is “weary tear” in my book. A PDI is essential to cover yourself, that’s why Mr Customer the Manufacturer only gave it a 3 year warranty from new, you are 7 years past that..... However, to be gentlemanly I’ll contribute the cost of a used part blah blah as a gesture of goodwill.
  6. Gee it fixed new mot, new exhaust, no advisories are all great selling points
  7. Grant, show a link and I’ll personally report him to HMRC and Trading Standards. These scumbags give us all a bad name and need to be stopped.
  8. The types that buy crap, sell crap to those who buy crap. DYKWIM......
  9. I don't do business with the "last price" buyer. Mr Customer, if all you want when buying a car is cheap, go and buy yourself a cheap parachute.............
  10. This is interesting, mine is 6659 within 5 miles, but only 8061 within 15 miles and 19471 within 50 miles.......
  11. Every business is governed by the CRA, we are no different. Wear n tear isn't covered, its the buyers responsibility.
  12. It depends on whether it fits into your margin, read between the lines to get an idea how much its going to cost to MOT, PDI, get delivered and the sell within 100 miles of you. I stick to cars I know will sell quickly, the thing is everyone is looking for them What car is it, which branch and the reg ???
  13. I stay well away from CAT cars unless its an old banger, I don't like the type of buyers they attract.
  14. Yes, I buy stock from every branch via Manheim online, I tend to go for silver and they are usually accurately described. You just need to check those photos and read the report. You have to understand its a numbers game, you will occasionally get one which will cost you more in prep (had to do a DMF last week) on an Audi £1200, but that's the game A lot of the time they are far better than expectation and they arrive with a file full of history.
  15. Hello boys and girls, as promised here's the link to the T4 Campervan I took in PX. http://www.transparencycars.co.uk/cars/volkswagen/transporter/800swbtdt4campervan/163954/0
  16. Just taken another deposit:) that’s 5 in 7 days from 15 stock, still can’t get everything listed. My T4 is now finally finished, will show the link when the video is done
  17. Ive used them before, really good service https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TURBO-TURBOCHARGER-ACTUATOR-BMW-JAGUAR-FORD-MERCEDES-AUDI-HELLA-REPAIR-SERVICE/272882380962?hash=item3f890eb0a2:g:0IMAAOSwA3dYl6UI
  18. Whitestone, we all want the principle of the IMDA to work.
  19. Since using lawgistics PDI's I have added it into my vids to enhance the sale of the car, it also makes you sleep a little easier knowing you've covered yourself. Mr customer has signed on collection stating they've inspected the car and everything works at the point of sale. However, I agree with you BHM on Bangers, I don't bother its more important to have chosen the right sensible buyer.
