  1. parents on inspecting cars they allow there kids to climb inside and stand on the sill to get in etc windy days and little fingers in doors, come on mum control your little brats they think they have a right, no mate, not till you buy it, its mine !
  2. on a roadside you know your neighbours, generally retail, with a keen sense of tidiness, different on a estate, neighbour could move in tomorrow and does mattress recycling [ example] and dump rubbish everywhere, reason a lot of landlords dont like motor trade as they seem to dump cars too ! location location etc, thats what its down to, and just a idea popped in my head, go through your old invoices, pick out the good ones, and mailshot them that youve moved ? very hard to find round here what you require [1] drive in [2] good landlord [3] tidy yard [4] good sound dry unit [5] secure [6] sensible price. good luck...
  3. no cat d from 1st october 2017 new codes apply
  4. The fastest way to make money is to solve a problem. The bigger the problem you solve, the more money you make.
  5. i do my own, invest in good quality chemicals, buy a quality machine, rinse it after every use, and in 2 years time your quids in, plus, nobody can do it as good as yourself and you might find a pound
  6. the new timetable: only businesses with a turnover above the VAT threshold (currently £85,000) will have to keep digital records and only for VAT purposes they will only need to do so from 2019 businesses will not be asked to keep digital records, or to update HMRCquarterly, for other taxes until at least 2020 Making Tax Digital will be available on a voluntary basis for the smallest businesses, and for other taxes. This means that businesses and landlords with a turnover below the VATthreshold will be able to choose when to move to the new digital system. As VAT already requires quarterly returns, no business will need to provide information to HMRC more regularly during this initial phase than they do now.
  7. woo hoo not the april news thursdays news big sigh of relief here
  8. "should be " used to indicate what is probable ! take legal advice mate, before you sign for 3 years
  9. claimant vs defendant, we need to start a new thread in a recent poll 96 out of 100 would never buy a used car again case dismissed
  10. ive just found a load of old coins in a tin by the spare wheel well, excited by this, and the fact that some date back to 1936, ive just spent a hour googling the value naff all
  11. In this forum we tend to forget the "lovely people" these are customers that don,t gripe, accept its a used product, and they recommend us to other folk, the cheapest form of advertising, i have met some lovely people in this job, and learnt a lot from them, some of us actually use there services too [ plumbers etc] i have a customer that brings me a bottle of wine every visit for no reason whatsoever,other than hes a decent bloke, my mot station at christmas you cant move in the office for tinned biscuits ! lets face it, if we didnt have these lovely people, we would all jack it tommorow any stories ?
  12. Your right ! unfortunatley this is what the punters think ! should be offered as a ball breaker to a unsure punter at negotiation point !
  13. you specialise so theres no need for a outside company to give you approval. you already know your product inside out. as for breakdown cover, you could offer this as a separate sweetener, to just tip them over into buying your product, which would cost less than £35 from a well known name. the wall plaque is quite tempting though how big is it ? is it metal or plastic ?
  14. my insurance is over 25s, accompanied, you can use the "over 25" only rule to discourage timewasters / unsures, [ if yours is 18+] . Youve done the right thing, your abiding with the law, and its got to be a strict, no, your not insured mate.......... i occasionally ask to see licence, but do forget many a time i hate test drives, not so bad if i am driving, i am in control and it gets away from the pitch for a proper talk, but when they drive, oh my god its hands off steering wheel, speeding, 3rd gear instead of fifth, up and down gearbox for no reason whatsoever [ accompanied by a "sorry" when they hit second instead of fourth ] should have nicked the price board
  15. Write him/her a bill out with full description of work done. and they will never phone you again and you can move on and sell CARS
  16. i remember something about donkeys and kiss me quick hats
  17. one chance at repair in 30days = It is possible to agree with a customer to undertake a repair under warranty you may have sold with the car as that will constitute a contractual repair and so will not count as a statutory repair under the Act. In this instance, you will need to ensure you have the customer’s agreement to conduct any repairs under warranty (preferably in writing) so it is clear it is a contractual warranty repair and not a statutory repair – the difference being only a statutory repair will give rise to the Final Right to Reject. even easier to do if you used your own warranty .....
  18. no sat navs, they had to phone to find address, then you knew they were coming, " get the hosepipe out " only allowed 21 words though so it was fsh pas e/w abs
  19. whats the next big thing though ? basic micras ? mint ka ? mk4 escorts are doing very well ?
  20. How did you get into this game ? just been pondering, must be some fascinating stories out there ? go with your dad to auction ? start in the spanner department ? i started with seeing a cortina for £30 in the local shop window, only down road so went and viewed it, no t or t, bought it, drove it back, cleaned it inside and out [added value ] and put it in the same shop window for £60 two days later SOLD . yes i am old
