  1. That’s not very respectful ECJ. Are you having a bad day.... I suggest you take a breath and a big step backwards.... I’ve respected your input here and valued it. Don’t burn your bridges.
  2. How many hundreds of cars have you bought in that period and have you built up a personal relationship with the “purchase team” ? Do the Manheim management team know you personally ?
  3. Tony, I don’t sell cars withe blanked engine lights. Neither do I hide faults. The EML on start up is specific to the petrol model only, I quote and repeat (petrol engine only) on start up. All my cars go throught thorough diagnostics, please don’t question my integrity. And that is for the whole world to see as this is a public forum.
  4. Like I don’t agree with your reply. What’s wrong with them wanting to know your intent. They are a business and they are managing it effectively. Theres nothing rude in their email, they are asking for confirmation from a newbie account. You need to establish trust, not expect it....
  5. It really bugs me when it’s listed with full service history but no explanation... If it’s full, comprehensive, fastidious feckkng put it in the advert ! History sells. I tend to like using fastidious....
  6. Gossip and assumptions boys............ you guys are assuming all headmasters wear a tweed jacket, cords and a nice pair of comfy slip-on Clarks...... He was in his late 20's early 30's and the head of Business School in a local (Private School), recently divorced and was now doing a lot more miles, thus the purchase of the 525D (220k it had covered BTW). The Lupo was bought as a stop gap, but he ended up keeping it for a while....... It came with the lowering kit.... Now, stop gossiping I've pulled the video because it's going to get a new MOT, a clean and I'm gonna max as much out of it as possible (I don't want conflicting videos on my YouTube channel).... Video to follow...
  7. Failed on nothing major Nik. you are bang on.... lets see what happens when I have the time to get it clean Ermmmm... The type of headmaster who paid £541 on the 27/09/18 at 93069 miles to have a new Cambelt fitted (receipt)..... It has 15 service stamps to 91k
  8. LIKE LIKE Now.... when you was at the council, I bet you would of sat down in your meeting, (in a circle) so no one is the "head" all with yer hands in yer pants looking for a reason to allocate 100k find out the reason why ? And then when the 100k was spent you would allocate more.... yes ?? No offence intended
  9. Its going in for an MOT, we got it on the ramp first and it looks all good.....
  10. Really..... Nik it can't be worth that much ?..... Its battered, filthy with lots of character (faults). However, it's CAT C damage (minor) is still on the front, the Headmaster bought it back from his insurers.... There's only two other 1.7 SDI's available nationwide but I'm still gonna say "no way man" in my best stoned hippy voice. (previous life)
  11. I couldn't and wouldn't do that..... Ethically wrong in every respect. I'm thinking brutal video £490, but could be tempted to push it to £990 with a £300 minimum PX.... It's funny coz I bought a 2012 X5 X Drive 3.0 M Sport over the weekend and it should arrive tomorrow, but all I can think about is what I can do with the above banger......... funny old game
  12. Just to warn you all, I got given this car today by the Headmaster owner who dumped it with me after purchasing a 5 Series.... I do have a penchant for turning crap into cash.... It owes me a £3 Experian check, its done 96k with 15 stamps to 92k and a documented Cambelt at 93k in September 2018.... MOT to September..... More to follow....
  13. I tried using a Gimbal, but I found it incompatible with how I like to do the vids, it restricts your movement and flexibility.... IMO the best tool is an iPhone with the iMovie app....... absolutely fabulous, easy and simple to use. Earunder, best advise is to make the video personable, sell yourself and the car....don't be boring.... people buy from people.
  14. Half way there.... I now have an edit button But.... still no LIKE button....
