  1. Welcome back I use AT which is very very costly and also eBay Motors Pro which is great value for money.
  2. Like..... I now have the AT top sponsored package, it started on the 7th of this Month (currently 18 in stock) and Ive not sold one through AT !! Not one !!..... All 5 sales have come from eBay..... 3.0 cdi Vito Traveliner 10K..... A4 3.0 TDI S Line Estate 10k...... Touareg 3.0 TDI £5K...... 320d Biz Ed SE Estate 6k.....XC90 2.5T 4K......
  3. The Lawgistics "unroadworthy vehicle invoice" covers my ass stating it must be tailored away, in addition I like to get them to confirm on video so they fully understand, video stops the cretins
  4. I make them say on video they understand the car is unroadworthy and being sold for parts. No comebacks.
  5. I like wet vacking, yes I do... as the poo comes out it looks like new...
  6. The problem is you are responsible for the repair, you haven't covered yourself. I'm with Lawgistics and use their purchase receipts etc. You can buy on eBay and be done with the problem again.
  7. Steaming will stretch cloth, fabric and velour.....
  8. I've told a few morons with tick lists and torches to leave unceremoniously in the past. They wouldn't get pass my qualifying now
  9. I use Tescos Valeters, a friendly bunch of Eastern Europeans run the franchise and do a very good job, a full valet for £50 inc vat. Absolute bargain!
  10. BHM, you should write a book and call it "tales of woe" best seller!
  11. The Manufacturers, Main Dealers, Finance PCP keep their eyes very very shut......
  12. No problem your accountant is the best person to advise you on how to do your figures
  13. You need to register for VAT now if you expect to exceed the threshold. Don't waste your "life" doing your own accounts, get an accountant / book keeper to do it for you, they pay for themselves
  14. Yes, it'll add value and legitimise your business, customers will search for your website. I use CarDealer5, they're websites are excellent value, easy to use and I can highly recommend them in every respect.
  15. Grant, I've found vans are bought and sold when someone's circumstances have changed, either it's no longer needed or they need extra seats....something bigger or smaller, they are good news as long as you've given the right money of course:)
  16. I've sold quite a few commercials over the years (mainly PX's) and done very well out of them. They have always been older with without the dreaded VAT which attracts a lot of buyers, they specifically look for adverts with No VAT. Lots of people have vans who aren't VAT registered.
  17. My consulting fees are £150+ VAT an hour, minimum 3 hours. How do you want to pay ?
