  1. read the cra and you will see it is ! Repair it ? what if its unrepairable ? head already skimmed to max ? then refund ?
  2. correct, they consistently add confusion to the simple task of searching for a car, and the consumer should and will not continue to trapse through and get bored.
  3. well, at xmas it was 200 within 1 mile, now its 144 and added to the search box include cat c/d exclude cat c/d only show cat c/d and then they wonder
  4. correct is not correct ! this is VERY misleading its actually = has sustained damage to any part of the structural frame or chassis and the insurer/ self-insured owner has decided not to repair the vehicle ! so whats the value of a vehicle stating structual damage ? and how much will your insurance increase when the companies [insurance] dont get the returns [ high] expected when they cat s a vehicle ? 384,000 vehicles were written off last year, amounting to over 1,000 every day, or one every 90 seconds
  5. or the dishonest dealer including twelve month tax and only making first payment and changing his mobile / address
  6. made in malaysia ? should keep to selling his overpriced tat
  7. so, this could lead from responsibility to actual fine in years to come ? its always the same, stick your head up and do the job right and be burdened with paperwork, sell it on a private ad and tell customers " i just do it on side" and no one cares
  8. t Its quite true what he says you know chaps, think back, you only had one pic and 20? words for the description, and it sold before sunday if it was right ! nowadays its 20 pics, good feedback, web sites, warranties, credit, consumer rights, credit cards, impossible demands from punters, not to mention the leg in part ex........ Have you seen the price of a chamois lately ? all the best wrexham but do check out ALL the forum for lifes niggles in ths game
  9. same as me, wow just looked at link and look at price ! i rinse mine out after every use and protect it from frost
  10. its a very good idea and known quite a few do it, and still do, but faced with choice a consumer will walk away, DO NOT LET THEM SEE ALL YOUR STOCK ! split up your stock, show 3 different colours, dont let them see the others until they definetly dont want the first 3 ! if you havent got the room to divide them throw a sold sign in the window of the one they havent come to view! Trust me here, too much choice and there head spins and they walk !
  11. and turn black air vents white out with the satin black aerosol
  12. wonder what the fault code is ? i have had a few fault lights come on with just sold cars, no signs before, it can be folk not used to the car and caused by there driving, wrong gear, [ labouring engine] missed gear [over rev] etc. if you ve been asked to put the car right or refund and car has not shown light since then youve put it right havent you ? check hes insured and taxed car by the way, he maybe just doesnt like the car
  13. fence it off yourself ? water on site ? customer toilets on site ? electric [ recharge jump pack ] ? could probably decorate the place for around £2k, banners flags BALLOONS cctv ? good padlocks are £75, its one you need to really think about deeply
  14. Everyones gone to the beach, simple as ! Sales are simply = new buyers, bumped there own, or there old car is due a big expense !
  15. not only a good battery but the RIGHT BATTERY ! as said previously, and applies to all, my mate got given a car [ value £1500-2000] with faults that garages couldn't fix, a passing auto electrician just said , "its wrong battery" a proper battery cured numerous faults, and my mate celebrated when he counted twenty fourty sixty eighty
  16. split vacum pipe ? inlet manoifold leak ? get your mechanic to invest in a vacum gauge [ lessthan £20] one of the best tools you can buy, i wouldnt be without mine, blocked exhausts, cats that have come loose internally, burnt out valves, low compression, missing spark, etc etc. also have you run it with the belts removed ?
  17. The government's been looking into this for 18 months now and are considering compensation based on half hourly slots of compensation [dependant on your turnover at year end ] for time wasters. the rates will be between £18 to £25 per hour or part thereof. The time wasting must be done on your premises , you cant claim for phone calls or replying via text, neither can you claim for replies by social media or emails,based on a hourly rate [to be yet fully confirmed] as i say you can claim once the time wasting goes past half hour slots, [maximum you can claim is up to two and a half hours] you can only apply if you employ five or less, a sole trader, and you dont have to be vat registered to apply. In order to apply you must take the contact details of the timewaster, make a statement relating to what the time wasting was about, [sale of a car] and have a signed witness statement, applications while this is being set up will be by post [ takes approximately two hours to complete the form ] but its hoped to go online in the future. timewaster.gov.uk
  18. on every bill board/bus stop round here ! with this = It's not any car. It's your car. It's served you well and so will we. somebody in a pin stripe with a beemer probably got a bonus for writing that till they realise he might have done the m and s ad too ? "This is not just food, this is M&S food"
