  1. Because my hobby is “looking” at different cars on a Sunday afternoon....,
  2. Its illegal to drive a car on the road with the DPF removed. You can sell it as scrap, unroadworthy and not fit for purpose
  3. Love it.....along with Bottom Feeders... Keep yer chin up
  4. I sell all my cars by video, its the best thing since the web started.... No offence....Slideshows are boring, you need to do a personalised appraisal video of the car and sell yourself as a trustworthy seller....
  5. Aston Barclay, BCA & Manheim are instructed by the Finance House's to sell the car. It is up to the auction house to make sure they are selling goods which don't have a financial interest, ultimately they are responsible to sell goods with no 3rd party financial interest. However, the auctioneer assumes they are selling legally owned goods by the vendor. Its the admin that causes problems..... Both BCA & Manheim have HPI Experian departments, however if you have HPI'd the car you have already paid for them to clear it for you. Ring HPI saying it should be clear and they will do all the leg work for you..........
  6. Hi, ring HPI tomorrow with stating the facts, they will get the "all clear" from Moto Novo for you
  7. Every time I go off to the auction the last thing the Mrs says before I go out the door is "don't buy for buying sake"..... Sometimes its hard to keep your money in your pocket. You don't have to buy, sit tight and buy the right stock at the right price....
  8. I've not had a phone call for 7 days............ keep smiling
  9. R350 is a good shout but I want a SUV. Take one out for a test drive....
  10. Theres a 2011 MERCEDES-BENZ R CLASS R350L CDI going through Manheim Birmingham (listers trade only) on the 1st....
  11. I ran an R320 CDI AMG Sport 4 Matic for 18 months, loads of space and very refined. Can’t recommend it highly enough:)
  12. If the cretin had said that to me I would of promptly escorted him off my land.....Moronic, **** taking little ****..
  13. Angle grinder, filler, simonize black, job done chizzle and hammer and a no dope smoking sticker Serious answer.... Ebay, buy and old school dash mounted phone holder to cover it up......
  14. Yes, I’ll probably hit those figures too
  15. GG, with the very big deepest of respects... if Glasses want our professional response they should pay for our time. My time is money and I have children to feed.
  16. If you want feedback, I charge £100 an hour plus vat
  17. Fed up with your FREE survey requests, you should be paying us for our time. If we want your product, it doesn't come free - we have to pay. You want our time you should be respectful and pay......
  18. Me Customer, you only need one key to drive it... additional keys are a bonus:)
  19. It’s a 15 year old diesel. What’s desirable about it...
  20. Jumbo, I have a generic “intro” explaining who I am, my business ethos and deposit and payment instructions - I also have a conclusion at the end which explains PX, payment and collection. The actual vehicle description is shot in short separate films, it looks much more professional, for example 1. Service history, keys and docs 2. Engine bay 3. Exterior front. 4. Nearside extrrior 5. Rear 6. Offside exterior 7. Interior condition & spec. 8. How it drives and the mechanical condition. Each video appraisal lasts between 15-20 minutes. So it has to be shot in separate films then merged together in iMovie
