I always picture in my head, children are like a baby birds nest when the parent bird comes back with food and regurgitates it, they are all pecking out desperately demanding food. Except with children it’s continual...

Sold my 4th today which puts me in the black.... Paid out AT today, plus a quarters rent+ Annual insurance, + VAT and the family bus insurance.....

About 15 years ago a sourced a A4 1.9 TDI for a relative, which I was going to deliver to Norfolk, I filled up in Exeter (misfuelled) and got as far as Taunton before it lit up like a Xmas tree and stopped. Got trailored to Taunton Audi who raped my wallet of £800 for the privilage.....

I've never stopped buying diesels.

I’ve got that feeling, especially with my boys being 4 & 5.

I was thinking, how many Tiguans 30k new, let alone used.....

It’s Brexit detroying confidence and stability. On a cliff edge we are in the words of Yoda.....

This ^^^^^ Take control. Be polite, firm and fair.

What I do in my video is exactly what they do over the telephone.

No, all they do is walk round it doing a telephone appraisal to the potential buyer, they do not guarantee anything. They’ll watch it start up when it’s just about to go through and describe what they can. They are then told to bid appropriately, anybid is put down to who they were bidding for

In December 2016 I sold 18 cars. December 2017 = 16 cars. December 2018 only 3 so far...... Not looking good

I have to add, I maybe blunt but I'm right.

Who cares what Cazana says, ask the public who or what Cazana is and they'll have a guess at maybe......a region on Mexico...etc etc. Completely unknown by the public, they are simply a non entity.....

That's exactly my view

Welcome Beechwood, if you have previous experience then dip your toes, you'll have hardly any overheads and as long as you buy right there is good money to be made. My only advice would be to make sure you do the job right and make sure you cover your ass. I am of the opinion the CRA benefits us more than the SOGA, but you just have to be completely transparent, qualify your billy and cover your ass. Good luck

Messing or manipulating the taxation process in my book isn’t worth it, it’s very muddy waters. The ownership on taxing is the new keepers at the point of purchase and prior to driving off. If the customer asked you to tax the car prior to collection, tell them you can, it’ll only take a minute, but only do it but only on the day of collection. KIS.....

lol

Yes you can

I usually get a bid in fairly early otherwise it will be run up, once I've placed a bid I normally start to walk out, letting the auctioneer I'm prepared to walk. The thing is they know me know and I tend to be lucky and buy underbook.....

Mark, mmmmmmmm I would be careful, tax isn't transferable. DVLA will know the car was taxed prior to the new keepers purchase date but not taxed at the point of sale. I would be telling the billy to tax it themselves, its simply not worth the potential hassle over £30...

Lawgistics

A scabbers dream car... who would with even a 10th of a brain would buy a bent one?

I agree, you need to justify your position, the car is a 15th of its original cost, its 10 years past any period the manufacturer would guarantee its reliability. Mr Magistrate, I understand the CRA is there to protect responsible retailers equally. We freshly MOT'd, frshly serviced and had it PDI's confirming a 192 point check and the purchaser agreed the car was as descibed... Ownership for repairs and maintanence is the consumers. Unless of course they can prove enfactically the fault was there at the point of sale.
