    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 :unsure: 

    [1] drive in [2] good landlord [3] tidy yard [4] good sound dry unit [5] secure [6] sensible price.

    good luck... :)

    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.

    In this forum we tend to forget the "lovely people" :ph34r: 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 ?

    I see it differently, not necessarily rightly though. If you advertise brake down cover as a benefit, surely you are advertising your cars could potentially fail. I wouldn't advertise failure in any way at all.......

    Your right ! unfortunatley this is what the punters think ! should be offered as a ball breaker to a unsure punter at negotiation point !

    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 :unsure: how big is it ? is it metal or plastic ? :lol:;)

    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 :unsure:

    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 :unsure: 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 :o ]

    Ten mins?  Very specific that. 

    We had someone come in yesterday to view a Qashqai who was actually on an unaccompanied test drive from another garage. Trade plates, his family and the price board in the car. Who does that sort of thing?  

    should have nicked the price board :D

    You are not going to believe this chaps. 

    Customer calls about a car today, basically wants it from the off but doesn't know if I will take his part ex. It only turns out to be a bloody smart car, more or less the same as one I've got tracked on auction view for Monday. He views, we shake hands, deal done, happy days. 

    The Lord works in mysterious ways. And with that, I'm off for a pint. Cheers!

    and buy a lottery ticket :D

    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 .....
