Agreed 100% Also, cars with no V5 are usually sold well behind book, so its often worth the 4-6 week wait for a new V5.

How do you know if there was actually a fault, let alone it being diagnosed and repaired correctly. I certainly wouldn't pay a penny. You have NOT been given the opportunity to inspect or repair or even the courtesy of a phone call prior to any of the above..... End of story in my book

I current have 26 cars and 6 are petrol, I haven't noticed a drop off of diesels.

Andy, I salute you, how have you managed 200+ in a year ? Do you outsource everything apart from advertising and putting your name to it..... That's my goal

Btw, regarding my Xc90 “start prevented try again” problem it was the transponders in both keys...

I’m averaging 1/20 as a loss, the secret is to get out of them ASAP. I do find when I get one, another 2 or 3 hit me and then I’ll go months without another loss...

It does in mine

Agreed, but I don’t expect too nor have the time to finish it off for the sprayer. That’s what I am paying them to do. You get a trade discount for loyalty not for a lesser product. JMHO

There is no sense to this game. It’s a rollercoaster of guessing and punting. There is no formula, it’s like dark matter....

Tradewise, isn't a direct insurer. You need to contact your broker who will then deal with Tradewise on your behalf.

Practical Classics has a a lot to answer for.... You are sat at the airport lounge, plane delayed with 5 pints of stella weekening the blood.....next thing you are in Smiths looking at Magazines......Before you know it a classic car mag is in your hand and some ebay bottom feeder is grinning because he's sold his (bin) 1.3 escort (rs turbo look a like ) on ebay to a newbie from Bradford for 20k.........You know the story

Crazy in my book I remember having a couple of Metro Turbos, great fun, along with a Renault 5 Gordini Turbo..... Nissan Cherry Europe with the Alfa engine....

January very steady with 15 I always seem to manage one every 2/3 days. Target 150 a year

Do the right thing and take it straight to the breakers, make sure you see it crushed No offence intended

Diesel estates are my bread and butter, I’ve not noticed a drop off of sales, lots of buyers need an estate and they’re aren’t hardly any 10 year old petrols available. The 10 year old prestige diesel estate market IMO is alive and kickin... Plus I’m still nicking a couple a week on the block..

Overspray isn't acceptable, its unprofessional. It means poor prep and the sprayer isn't taking pride and doing his job right. Totally not acceptable in my book.

Sadly, her number comes up with a siren warning when I am In the pub....Looking forward to this Sunday, with an afternoon of beer, Pool and watching the Rugby. She knows Ill be "well jolly" when I get home

You get 3 calls from the same number within 3 minutes with no voicemail....

Its a 13 years old and its winter......All of my cars have condensation on the screen.

Fantastic !!

Fluid leak ?

Took a deposit over the phone on Sunday. Billy had been out looking all day, then looked further afield and watched my video of my 320d M Sport...... I'd shown the cup-holder worked properly in the video....Bang car sold !! Lady had looked at two 3-Series both with broken cup holders, apparantly she likes to drink coffee on the way to work......

A profit is a profit

My guys always have a backlog, so giving them extra work would delay preparation even longer, not sure if I would redeem the cost...
