  1. Welcome Vic Personally, I don't think you have a leg to stand on. You should have registered the car in your name and very clearly stated its a private sale. Look at it from his point of view, all he see's is you declared yourself as a "Motor Trader" and within a few weeks needs a big repair. I can't understand your naivety........ I wouldn't ignore the letter, ring him and reiterate it "was" your car, test the waters and see his stance.............
  2. Window shopping time wasters with absolutely no intent to buy.
  3. Complete waste of time.....endless searching for a car that doesn't exist.
  4. If they are pushing boundaries without complaints then to be fair well done, they are doing something right. My confusion is are they are claiming on the website to be of Dutch origin and a Dutch Auction Company.... Companies House states they are Car Dealers not a registered Auction Company...
  5. Agreed "separation" there's absolutely no chance of that ! You have to live the job, or turn your phone and computers off.....
  6. I’m not ashamed to say I love a bargain, and we as a family love car boot sales, flea markets etc.... We don’t owe a penny to anyone... we’ve saved lots of thousands on clothes for the boys 3&4, and furniture (our 3 piece sofa was £20). Bikes from the recycling centre etc... And, when they’ve grown out of the clothes / shoes the wife sells them on FB. We like to recycle.... The thing is everyone wants designer this, designer that and nobody understands the value of money. I'm teaching my boys to save first and then pay, they will then appreciate and understand the worth of money. Its very easy to spend someone else's money.
  7. Well said...... I confess, its now my new AT strapline Cheers Screenman
  8. On holiday to till the 9th then straight in for an eye operation. Managed to sell 6 over the last 13 days (all AT) but it seems deadly quiet. I’ve not had an email enquiry through eBay for 12 days.....
  9. Spooky, I use the same primer but black, then Simonize black gloss, you don’t even need to take the wheels off or mask the tyres, when it’s dried just jet wash the paint off the tyres.... I know.... I’m really lazy
  10. Lets hope the french bidder doesn't own it If I had a shilling for my advice.......
  11. Only a few hours to go...... Fingers crossed you'll get a genuine last minute bidder....... The French bidder has definitely made it intriguing ..............
  12. I'm no wiser..... But on initial thoughts... yes all three please
  13. It means nothing to me as well. Great quote...... I'm gonna remember that one
  14. Wow I just wanted a new MOT no idea what type of screen.
  15. When new screens are that cheap, no wonder there's no point in repairing.
  16. The last screen I had done was £140 fitted by National Windscreens, trade obviously. It took him over an hour, how can they be making money.....
  17. I gonna shy away from the SE spec, I have a crv ssr at the moment (lovely car) well priced, but it’s sat here for 6 months. I keep getting (I’m really after an EX).....
  18. That's very true.....and everyone is a mechanic as well or used to be..
  19. We have to put up with old and young cretins all the time, just because someone is older it doesn’t mean they are wiser.
  20. Have you ever seen a failed surecheck note on the screen...........
  21. Serial con me with no morels. Send them straight to prison, asset strip then deportation.
