I have tried photos inside but not happy with the lighting...as soon as I get something I’m happy with I’ll post:)

“Artistic license” I like that my thoughts are about a realistic believable perception. Accuracy, ease and simplicity and a generic theme is where I need to be. The thing with pictures outside is it is dependent on the right light and weather. Days and days can be wasted just waiting for the right light with continued re-valeting. I need continuity indoors with really good lighting for great photos and videos, one stop photo video advert to complete efficiency.

In 30 years I have never sold a warranty. My responsibility is bound by the CRA for which I abide too. If I wanted to sell an insurance policy / warranty I would do. Lawgistics advise on self warranty booklets to save thousands each year, that is exactly my principle but without paying for the booklets. I bend whe I have to

Stalker. At the end of the day, if the garage need to drop the gearbox to replaced the sensor it simply has to be done. Because I do not offer a warranty, each year I save £200 per car for repairs. It pays for our two family holidays abroad each year and the static at Newquay..... When I get a warranty / CRA issue as above, I don't have the time nor the inclination to mess about. Life is too short.

Grant, the thing is I am so busy at the moment I just don't have the spare time to mess around. I make decisions and stand by them. Stalker, I have no idea whats its going to cost, I have been paying so many large bills in the last month its like on the ropes waving a white flag....

Lol OCS. TV, I know exactly what you mean, maybe a large stately home, swimming pool, lake and a Bentley all "video clipped" into a new "transparency" introduction...... My thoughts are currently looking at pushing a "buy it now" ease and simplicity route with a nominal deposit / only pay balance on confirmation route.... Who knows where the unit will lead me, I am just glad I'' m saving so much time on logistics

Hi guys, thanks for all your feedback I thought you would be a little more on my side to be fair...... Rory, I don't offer a warranty and don't have my own workshop. I am a member of lawgistics and use their PDI sheets & Purchase Receipts stating the car must be returned for an statutory repair. However, he is 100 miles away and it makes no sense making him have the inconvenience to return it for me to have it inspected / diagnosed / confirm the sensor has failed on an 11 year old monster mileage DISCO 3, at the end of the day it's wear n tear in my book for which I'm not responsible. I did explain the above to him, but as a gesture of goodwill I would pay for the part and 60% of the labour. He thanked me over the phone for not making him jump through hoops and return it. Subsequently he has had bad advise from the garage and that's why he sent that email. Anyways, its all sorted........ He responded immediately with the following... Hi Simon Thank you for your prompt response. We are satisfied that we explored this further as advised and are happy to take you up on your offer. The work is being carried out next Wednesday. I will email you a copy of their bill. Will you want to reimburse me or pay them directly? Regards

Sold a Disco 3 28-12 which has had a Lambda sensor failure 10 days later. I offered to pay for the sensor and 60% labour costs (apparantly the gearbox has to be dropped). He happily agrees... I just got this email. Hi Simon We spoke on the phone this Monday following a fault on the discovery I purchased from you. At the time you kindly offered to pay for the parts required and 60% of the labour costs as a “goodwill gesture”. Since then on the advice of our local garage we have taken advice on the procedures in circumstances such as these. Firstly, we are not doubting your integrity here. The vehicle was purchased for over £5000 in good faith on the understanding that it was in good working order. Unfortunately, it was unable to get us from A to B on two occasions less than two weeks from purchase, due to a fault, not wear and tear. Under these circumstances we have been advised that you should cover the full costs of the repairs and that it should not be a negotiable issue. Simon, we would never buy a used vehicle privately which is why we came to you. We hate awkward situations such as these and hope that you will agree to these terms. I look forward to hearing from you in due course. Please let me know if you require an estimate from our local garage. Regards My Response Hi James, I am afraid the garage have given you bad information. Having carried out appropriate and recorded pre-sale checks, including an independent PDI check, I am completely confident the vehicle was of satisfactory quality at the point of sale and thus in full conformity to the statute and contract. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 is designed to protect buyers and sellers equally. The CRA specifically does not cover maintenance nor faults which would be expected due to the age / mileage & subsequent appropriate wear n tear. You purchased an 11 year old vehicle, which was 8 years past the period of which the Manufacturer was prepared to warrant the condition. A sensor failing on an 11 year old vehicle is quite simply wear n tear. Out of goodwill and to be completely gentlemanly, I offered to pay for a new sensor and 60% of labour costs. I am a very reasonable and fair man, my offer still stands. Regards

Thanks Rory

Thanks No Margin, I’ve just downloaded the app, it’s really simple and easy to use

I accept PayPal occasionally for downpayments, “deposits” are a non-tangible item thus they are not covered by chargebacks. I definately would not accept PayPal for a full payment. Make sure you write on the money request “deposit for (reg) balance blah on collection” in the description section, this coveris yourself.

Same here, I keep looking to see if its reappeared....Sadly no

Hi guys, I can get in easily 18 maybe 20 with a squeeze. I’m looking forward to learning the best way to take appealing pictures inside and video presentation:)

I have no idea... to be fair I just want somewhere to store them.

Your 20 with 15k, the world is your oyster Don't take on any debt, be wise with your money and choosy.

Thanks Grant

Well I'm finally in my first unit...... Its got more space that I thought

You’ve got all the foundations right, you just need to sort out the bad language/ grammar and make your cars stand out with consistent corporate photos. It needs tweaking:) Imo

I bought an Auris by mistake last year, thought I was bidding on a Jag..... anyway, I priced it cheap from the off to get rid and it still sat around for 6 months laughing at me reminding me what a twat I was for bidding outside the rostrum... Lesson learnt

Just reading the above makes my blood boil ! Time wasters, I absolutely hate them with a vengeance along with “middle lane” & “outside lane” hoggers and the “last price m8” cretins. Don’t get me started

It’s started well with 4 so far

I would walk away, but I don’t like buying unknown problems. However, if the price is right and you have the time to fix it then follow your gut and take a punt....

Dan, Allroads are one of my favourites to see, the low mileage might be putting off along with a £500+ tax each year. Can you send a link to the advert? See = sell where is the edit button???

Grant 75% would be a healthy target to aim for, however you need to find and understand your market.
