  1. Andy. If it is on the public highway it has to be taxed, if its on a business premises and declared as "in trade" there is no issue. What you have attracted, is a bored, good for nothing cretin of a looser who will make it entire life long goal to target the evil Motor Trader Be warned, these people have no morels..... BTW, I am sure the landlord will be able to find out who the moron is.......Lots of loose mouths in pubs, equally people like to be "in" with the landlord, they'll find out..... Someone who puts a sticker like that on your cars won't keep quiet about it.......They'll be bragging about it.
  2. Same here, absolutely flat out at the moment with 10 sold so far
  3. +1. Don't borrow money, you then become a bitch to the debt. Let your business and confidence grow. Don't rush....
  4. It’s taken a long time for me to learn, but to have the confidence to simply ignore and delete these morons enables you to concentrate on polite enquiries. It gives you the belief in genuine buyers. These emails aren’t real genuine enquiries. like.. Mr Customer, if all you are looking for is cheap, I cannot help. May I suggest you don’t use the same principle when purchasing a parachute.
  5. These people are cretinous vultures. If you reply you've lost....
  6. Every Lexus I’ve had has taken ages to sell, I always end up giving them away promising “I’m never going to buy another” don’t get me wrong, I think they’re great cars, they just attract a very certain fussy type of buyer... The lesson today is don’t buy for buying sake when your shaking your “loadsamoney” wad at the auction
  7. Absolutely + 1. Trust your gut feelings, experience is learnt from pain & gain.....
  8. Buyer collects has always been my MO. They have to confirm on collection it drives, looks and is completely “as described”. That also have to sign the PDI and purchase invoice in person. Otherwise you just leave yourself completely vulnerable. The only vehicles I allow to leave me on a trailor are scrap. Simple....
  9. Really.... dear photo... please don’t be easy to upload like a simple (click upload).... just can’t get a picture. You Cls ck on upload media and nothing happens......
  10. Hi guys, silly question but I can’t seem to work out how to upload a photo onto this site ??? It just says insert other media?
  11. Keep following the T5 dream ! I’ve just taken a T4 camper day van as a PX, it’s s smart looking thing.
  12. I don’t agree at all with their concept. They may know the American market but they certainly don’t understand nor appreciate the UK market.
  13. I'm afraid I'm with Satan, they cost but AT ultimately sell cars...... Ebay works for me aswell Two great video platforms to sell yourself and the car to the billies
  14. Borrow borrow borrow, and feck the default............ That's the attitude
  15. JSR, you are a Private Seller, there isn't a market of 20 year old buyers wanting a basic C Class manual. These cars were all sold to aspiring company car users who want the Merc badge & the cheapest possible option on their drive. On the "used" Merc market buyers want top spec and they certainly don't want a manual... And I bet you bought it because it was cheap....... No offense intended
  16. Hi Earunder, JSR is adverting on AT as a private seller..........
  17. We’ve all been there....I ince bought an Auris by mistake, thought I was bidding on a S Type....I point blank refused it was down to me..... then they showed me the video.... I made some sincere apologies that day.... lesson learnt don’t bid outside the hall whilst chatting. The auctioneer ran me up aswell £600 over CC but I thought I’d bought a cheep Jag...
  18. I agreed 100%. The manuals are as desirable as a wart on your thomas, they sit around the auctions for weeks and weeks, unsold unsold unsold until finally given away well under book....
  19. Absolutely right, it’s a saloon manual with half leather,very hard to sell. Also, its overpriced for a private sale. Retail is 8k, you should be looking for £6750ono
  20. 80% for me, will hit that this year, with no viewings or timewasters.
