  1. If you want to see bad reviews just google copart. My local nandos have a lot of bad reviews, went there the other day and the food was nice and the service great. So easy to leave malicious false reviews because they can, as said above keyboard warriors.
  2. Majority of my cars went to that mot station, I expect them not to be so petty. I agree with grant. A failed sidelight bulb is only a fail when it suits the mot tester. So you can't check seat belt because car seat fitted which is fair enough, so to cover your back you add car seat loose, what a load of nonsense. As I said to many trigger happy testers.
  3. I'm sure many of us do every night.
  4. Seriously what's up with MOT testers and trolling advisories... Is it because they can? Few examples of potential purchases: -Dots on front wiper blades -Brakes making a noise -Unable to check passenger seat belt as babies car seat fitted, car seat very loose And whats with the engine covers and under trays fitted... Aren't all cars fitted with them nowadays. My beautiful 2006 Honda Civic 2.2 diesel, complete with sat nav and cruise control, had been flying through its Mot every year without no advisories. Last year it failed on... A side light. Tester had the cheek to fail it then proceed to fit a new side light bulb then pass it, then bill me £2.50 for the bulb. Cars due an MOT this month, wish me luck and pass me the whisky. Rant over and good night!
  5. How about this for advisories, brake noise?? record of timing belt change...I guess thats a plus and a minus!
  6. They use to put cat c cars on the logbook but not cat d's... But I get what your saying met, they should just put both on logbook, as they are both write offs
  7. More like the wild wild west now!
  8. I remember about 15 years ago, associates of mine use to buy autotrader magazine, look through ads, use to do exactly same thing, use to get sometimes 2/3 grand off a 12 grand car from private sellers.
  9. You get the final value fee back if you relist or cancel sale because the buyer has timewasted so you only lose about a tenner per auction. But your correct so many timewasters, last price brigade etc ebay auction not for the faint hearted, but definitely has its advantages
  10. d with a strong ad with 20 pics. So took it off sale, waited a week, then put it on Ebay auction and that thing made 700 quid more than the classified price previously used. Guy came from Wales, loved it and was the last painless fleabay auction we did. The amusing thing was he told us he had been looking for over 3 months for the right car... Goes to show it does work sometimes, especially rare bits. And it does generate a lot of interest I agree, definitely not something I'm sure we'll be keen on doing with all our cars though
  11. Does any of your cars ever make the reserve, I usually put cars I haven't had luck in selling on no reserve auction, and surprisingly had made more of similar to what I what I eventually had the car advertised for.
  12. Is this the only car you have for sale, if so next I would buy a few cheaper cars, instead of one big juicy one, at least if it don't sell the others might and don't start driving it for your own personal use, you'll fall in love and get attached, and what if something goes wrong with it, what will you do then. Get a cheapy to run yourself around in. And definitely redo your photos consistently.
  13. I'll pay you only if you sign a money back guarantee if I don't make 10k in the first 3 months
  14. Start 'matched betting' easy money, less stress, less work
  15. DVLA the same robbing thief's who sell our details to private car park companies, so these thieving bastards can steal our money. Daylight robbery. APPEAL it.
  16. Never actually knew there was such a site, but have you tried to download the 'timing belt genie' app, try it and see, may be similar.
  17. I also know of someone who only sells damage repaired stuff, he's been doing it for at least 15 years, and does well he drives around in a 6.0 Bentley. Few years back he had about £100K worth of cars, trades from home, no website.
  18. As you said cat N stands for non structural damage,there are plenty of cat D cars which previously had structural damage, and many cat C cars which had no structural damage. Yes you can get them cheap but not worth the hassle in my eyes, sometimes a real bugger to sell.
  19. To be honest if I went by reviews, I probably would never purchase, watch any film, eat anywhere etc ever again. Sometimes reviews may be good, but can easily and wrongfully cloud peoples judgement.
  20. Never, they make to much money from no contact winners.
  21. Yes Andy people are really that sad, if the cars were not clamped, it definitely wasn't the DVLA.
  22. To be honest, I don't think eBay give two Flying fucks, as long as your paying them a healthy a balance each month ✌
