have a word with the wife

what right do they think they have to see the purchase invoice ? right riles me that ! like when they ask where do you get them from then ? and before you can answer they say auction ? like its that easy you stick your hand up, it magically appears on your pitch, and you go on the piss with the profit ! ..........................PEASANTS !

i sometimes wonder if its the tyre bay themselves that forget to return them, box full of locking sockets round the back ?

my word is my bond

Seats fitted to the rear of the drivers compartment in a goods vehicle are not required to be fitted with seat belts unless the seat is the specified front passenger seat [ ie] no front passenger seat like a london taxi? but sell it as a 3 seater anyway put the seats on ebay, might sell before the van

Going along this line here of the messages, i am thinking of late there are quite a few, what i call part time traders, they scan the cheapies and offer even less, thinking they can make a bob or two, usually the difference between what they want to give you for it, lets say £500 and what you want for it £795 [295]. i think this because a few times if you do go down the line of responding you get the message "whereabouts r u ? " etc . thoughts ?

Phone him very enthusiastically, you need to confirm his address with the prize he won, free beans for the next year or something

i bet you can gurantee sure as eggs is eggs that if you said yes to £500 he wouldnt show.

"whens it taxed till mate ? " gumtree ?

Never ever rely on the dvla, they lull you into a false sense of security, everything goes swimmingly for months, v5s turning up in 5 days, then you take a depo on a car and working on past reliance on v5 turning up you promise the customer thursday, and thursday doesnt happen, on monday your on the phone, gladys tells you that you can tax it at post office when you cant and by wednesday punters screaming for his depo back, gets his depo back friday , and v5 turns up saturday, i have the scars

They say your never more than 6 foot away from a rat well years ago we did a very foolish thing, we spotted one in our workshop, and then another [ thinking back it was the same one lol ]. We had a very smokey car at the time, oil burning scrapper fiesta i think it was, somebodies brainwave was to smoke em out [ mine ] . Why not brick on accelarator to 3/4 then shut doors ? leave it for half hour, enjoy the day outside? Only thing we acheived was observing all the little holes in the roof from outside and we only just stopped neighbours from calling fire brigade

you have 3 minutes left to vote theresa may needs 327 seats, anybody got owt ? ive only got seven seaters here

imagine getting a pay packet imagine looking in your bank account and seeing additional money every month imagine looking at a payslip and someones already paid your tax and ni imagine turning off your brain at five pm imagine not working sat or sunday

Similar here, x type with its arse on the floor, been to cash n carry or carrying crates, egg n chips thurs offer 6 till 7 £1.99 .........no thanks, ive seen the rats

so when can you actually be available to "sell" these cars ? average time to make a sale is lets say a hour including test drive ? lets assume they buy it, then they tell you theyre coming at 5 to collect and dont turn up till 5.45 then another lets say half hour, paperwork, smiles handshakes bla bla, thats 2 and a quarter hours very very minimum youve spent selling one car, and thats in a ideal world .its not about the money its the chase .......... A local garage that you use employs three mechanics and is not vat registered ?

Nip it in the bud is what i do, as in, your sales invoice . A clearly worded sales invoice could stop all this or certainly slow it down, words like [1] " whom to contact first in any instance" [you], [2] " i understand i am purchasing a used product that may have faults consistent with its age" [ its not new]. [3] "i have inspected the vehicle ".[ok, wont show a faulty gearbox for example, but does stop them saying tyres are low in 3 months time ]. Gotta remember these people speak / google other people before contacting you, and are mostly poorly advised, and theyre told to contact you, where they let off both barrels, a carefully worded sales invoice that doesnt withdraw their rights goes a long long way

white spirit,not as harsh as thinners

you have excellent defense , you the retailer have strong proof fault wast present at time of sale, [ onus is on retailer in first six months to prove fault wasn't present at time of sale] hes also ignored your and the warranty companies advice by continuing driving the vehicle and damaging the vehicle further, a well written letter to the consumer explaining this may keep you out of the courts to start with.

had a customer waiting outside this morning test drive, deposit, all done for nine forty. been a long time since i can remember someone waiting on the door, youll never ever suss this job out

yes they all want finance.

sounds spot on for gumtree to me

he didn't use the template maybe ?

Nice one, one up against them, its all made too simple and easy for these folk now you can make a claim online which i presume they did.They claim in haste which fortunately youve found a mistake in, and thats how you win ! You should get a letter soon either stating the claim has been struck out or dismissed, to alter your name to ltd company requires a judges permission, the reason for them being late needs a very very good excsuse too, normally letter from a doctor, there was loads of cases to do when you arrived so 99% theyve told them case dismissed , reapply or on your bike !

i cannot see my local council encouraging me to obtain a "clean air zone" vehicle other than by fining me and giving me more headache the council vehicles themselves round here are all 5plus years old anyway
