  1. I remember there was a dealer who offered free videos with every car in the dim and distant, that is the machines, not tape i have tried krooklocks, alarms, free mot for life [ the cost of mot, returned to me, i took it for mot, they normally failed ] but top n bottom is now i just say, no gimmicks here, just service and quality
  2. grey is unburnt fuel, start with a oil and filter change, correct oil mind you, someone may have put incorrect grade in previously.
  3. Madness, it is a sales opportunity, might be just me, but most of my sales are completed on the test drive accompanied, do you like it ? yes is it for you? yes that noise on braking is just slight rust on discs, do you understand? yes this switch does this yes this car comes with our warranty, basically covers everything except bulbs and fair wear, is that okay ? yes is it cash did you say? yes are you having it ? YES
  4. "The new way to buy a used car has almost arrived." its not new, it does not work, many have tried, guess why they failed ?
  5. I have never known this situation ? have you double checked the vin matches the reg ? i would also double check the vin numbers on the car for tampering, at a guess i would suggest its got a twin when we had the local dvla offices and there was a situation like this they would send somebody out, not that they were any good at there job, she asked me where the vin number was The other week i applied for one with a £25 cheque, got a 2nd class letter returning cheque saying there was a mistake on it [ and i have studied and studied it, cant fault it ] unusually they did not return the v62 application with it [ they normally do] just said return the letter with another cheque, which i did same day, first class, log book came next day , which was a bit strange to say the least, if i had held out till next day, i would be £25 up, dvla, never ever rely on them, never assume they know what theyre doing, and always if its important send it recorded .
  6. Sorry but i just do not understand this post at all why does dvla want registered owners name and address off you when it is already on there system ? i am taking it that you have applied for the log book, and are wanting to tax it to smoke round in ? then the v5 should arrive in 6 weeks.
  7. could this be dean MARK talbot ? are you claiming through your insurance for the stolen car ? has the identity been swapped on the car ? you need to find out sharpish how much this "innocent purchaser" paid for the car, because if he claims he paid well below book , then a judge will assume he knew the car was "hot" and return the car to you. if he claims he paid the going rate then you maybe in for a struggle. i would, if the insurance is not involved, engage a solicitor straightaway to fight your corner , all the best. He hasn't. what, and pay twice ?
  8. in reference to the ex326, if you could kindly let us know, if you apply, how you got along with it, may help someone in the future, thankyou.
  9. application to vary a judgement = £50 form n245 available online read = i cannot pay the judgement ex326 form, again, available online they would do it to you so do it to them, but do,nt hang about
  10. If you've just started out in this job, and the stocks right, the price is right and adverts right, you would soon go get a job Its quieter than me when asked "how much for cash "
  11. Well that is excellent, judge obviously seen through the "free check", he wants to see a non biased report from someone who is not on bonus, claimant has to pay for "expert" witness, claimant has to make car available, claimant has to forward documents to court, upon seeing the report if its in your favour judge may even decide the case without a further hearing as he she will read it before giving a date for a hearing, claimant may not even bother if they think they are on a looser, so if you do not get a response in reasonable time from claimant re expert witness, apply to court for strike out of case due to claimant not doing as told by judge, judge has brought up the age / mileage too, good, so the bottom line is claimant has relied on poor evidence for there claim, you may not hear anymore, heres hoping thanks for the update.
  12. They do ! they pick a car and pick a number ! trouble is they seem to come to me first ! Then i spend five minutes explaining at that figure [£] they will get scrap, then they walk off thinking i am having them over !
  13. I am confident, reading the posts, a well presented defence got over clearly should result in a case dismissed, after all, what we all easily forget, is this is a money claim i beleive, and what exactly are they claiming that has not been done or is consistent with age / mileage ? bit of luck they may not have even turned up, fingers crossed
  14. I guess if you buy right, proper pdi, be picky who you sell to [yes , choose your customer !] , and don't underprice it then you will always do ok under £5k, the more other dealers that will not sell them gives the opportunity to ask more money Every pitch round here is full of lumpy stuff with cobwebs
  15. Numatic, spend as much as you can to get the best, plenty machines out there but not as rugged as a numatic, or suck up as good [which is what it is all about] . only use wet. hoovers are pennies from screwfix. rinse it out after use, never leave water in it when is winter [ freeze = damage] and use low foam cleaner, had mine years, karchers catch fire
  16. short answer no, or well, not always,i tested a customers car, and told him he could go tax it 2pm, still had 2 days mot left, p.o. refused, sent him back up at 4 and they taxed it, and this was with his renewal notice, not a log book or a application for the aforesaid, i think it comes down to how busy dvsa is regarding updating, and you can not tax a car with only 2 days test left.
  17. that,s what i said when they said they,ve another to look at...............facom.
