  1. Now that's what you call organised crime , take some balls to set that up and carry it through Scamming toad , all those cars on the road NOT insured ,
  2. Of course they can tax the car without insurance been able to do so for years now . Insurance is something the new owner has to do , Not us traders , We sell cars not tax and insurance . Theres your car and paper work Mr/Mrs New owner , Tax it on the green slip , Thank you goodbye . Oh don't forget you need to insure it to drive it , Bye
  3. Storage of boring overpriced shite there , no funny stuff going storing those types , sat waiting for their values to fall so they will sell . Probably due to over selling on PCP deals and then back fired when they all got handed back. Seen that TV program " The undateables " well these are the " Unsellables " what normally happened is the customer paid of the loan on finance and kept the cars till they were 5/6 years old now they sit in that high price boring shite level of a cars life were no one is going to give 8k for one and lose a packet Or some lease deal gone sour . either way they will be there a while till somebody writes the values off
  4. Two Finance companies will indeed provide stock funding at 2% , BUT they want reciprocal finance business to an horrendous level . This is why some car supermarkets insist cars are sold on finance to customers , If the trader falls short of selling finance then the 2% becomes nearer 8% and higher , Pure con selling .
  5. I do tend to go the VAG BMW Sports models , Not for FB
  6. FB does have its place , at £25 a month its not going to break the bank is it But the flip side is it drives me bloody nuts , Wat's the lowest price , Will you take 17k ( sale for 20k ) , Has the TT got an Electric Roof . Is my Clio 57 plate 70,000 mile worth 2k , Have you got this same car in Diesel [ Z4 ] That's just this Morning list of questions from FB Flip side of that dopey set of questions is sat i sold two From Face book , Px to clear types at 2k + so its good for that type
  7. It will all of a sudden start to rise in your bank , you wont see it coming but one month it will double as you get more shots at selling more car . Keep going the way you are . I built my daughters business the same way , shown her the slow profitable way , now worth a small fortune in Stock , Money in bank and property , all hers too . My sons been doing this trade a good few years longer and hes the same . Solid growth . Funded by yourself is the way . Son had a friend do the Stock funding method , 10 years and owns hardly anything , just works to pay the bills , Now decided to start again with a few cars , less stress , and earn some money ,
  8. They cant add up can they . Next Gear charge so many different fees it confuses people , Seen it mess with peoples heads quite bad Also with stocking funds at low rates from Finance houses , come reciprocal business using their Finance to a level that's quite high , if not reached its a big jump on interest. Only one way i think Start low , Start slow , Reinvest and grow slowly to start and then it speeds up as you go , Benefit it ITS ALL YOURS , some big companies are up the creek without a paddle if they sold up as they would have nothing left after pay back .
  9. KARCHER PRO 12 YRS old , couple of new pipes but that's all and that's because some fool ran over one , sucks and has a powerful spray jet to blast muck out , used with Auto Smart low foam cleaner its amazing , looks a bit tatty now but my god its had some use , still used on three cars a day six days a week , Would have another one when this goes bang , but its possible to buy spares too ,
  10. Barclay card we use . Very low rates on debit cards , Find customers love card payment, debit only for car sales though , Just don't take credit cards for car sales because of the cost , Does depend on the amount you put through as what the rates will be though . We have 0.17 % on debit which is silly low , Credit is a little higher but we don't use credit cards except for service work and repairs ,
  11. Your more direct than me LOL I didn't want to say that , but yes its true , Take the pics somewhere else Tom . Lose the stone car park
  12. Send them back to CAP & Glasses , tell them they were nearer at valuing cars years ago far more accurate than they are now
  13. Hi Tom Well done for starting up to begin with . Pics of your cars , need a new camera to start with , stand further back and zoom in , , Simple camera like a DSR type has Zoom for framing and Macro for close up inside . They have better lens too so the interior shots look real , The Merc seats look small and laid back on yours , that's the lens in whatever your using . Remember to frame the car edge to edge as well , your selling metal not trees bushes and surrounding cars , oh keep your jeans shoes and face out of the pics too, they are looking for cars not clothes . The rest is down to you really , stock , prices , and everything else is personal to you . Good start though , Some nice stock too . Well done so far Sorry if i come over direct , its how i am , not changing now mmmm that's me being direct again isn't , oh well now you know what i am .
  14. He has a production line though , sells 3 a day 6 days a week , his thing is he will buy anything , any condition , any mileage. has a good gaff going at present , new wheels , wrapped , lowered , out of the place with a turn round of three days , off to a fine art . vans are bloody mad price at present though aren't they ,
  15. Caddys are the latest street cred thing to have though , so that doesn't help them , Know a guy who will pay eye shattering money for any caddy going , Then pays £1,000 to have it wrapped in violent colours , lowering kit on to slam it to the ground and adds 2k on top , takes him less than two days to sell them , 80/90/120 k motors he cant buy em fast enough .
  16. Not Car related but still makes me laugh even now A good few years ago I ran a Mushroom farm , Now mushrooms farms are just about the cleanest places ever , ANY dirt about and they die , or don't grow , so the insensitive is to keep it all very very clean , Foot baths , clean clothes , hand washing , different staff for different areas , its has to be run very clinical if you want it to work . So i came out of a spawn running house , to find this twat coming out of whats called a Casing house a very highly sensitive time of the crop , so i go who the bloody hell are you then This pompous twat says I'm from the council health and hygiene dept , Stood there covered in a dirty white coat . I said can you read , Yes he goes why , You have passed two barriers , four no entry signs stepped over a red Chain and entered a door that says DO NOT ENTER . He told me rules didn't apply and he can go where he likes HAHA He left the area horizontal , dropping papers , pens and one shoe . I had the back of his belt on his trousers and his hair , Ran him out and he entered his car a red Rover 214 haha through the passenger window , to claps from 30 of the pickers that were on tea break . One said how did you know the window was open Boss , I didn't Just reminded me when i read that bit on the rough guy who never had a visit . We never had a visit after either . Saw him in Newark town centre a few months after , he crossed the road and kept his down , Sometimes it just works
  17. Wrong Still get Covid even after you had the jab ,Its just not as bad for YOU , if your lucky as its only 50 % effect really . Still pass it on though as a carrier
  18. Ok this lady rings me up . Hello i like the white i 10 auto you have for sale yes nice car that one Do you deliver cars , Were do you live , Portsmouth , OK to far for us 300 miles away sorry as we cant get back very easy , Now the stupid bit . THATS OK She says i can take you back , " WHAT " , Now i couldn't make her see sense in the fact she was effectively fetching it if I agreed to that , but its not social distance rules I said , we left it as shes going to call a relative in Nottingham . see if he/she will collect it and shes going to fetch it from their place Nottingham is 14 miles from us
  19. Me too Don't know who agreed to it in the first place on second hand goods , Oh we cant add vat to used goods so lets just take it on the traders profits instead , Yea great idea , Like to meet the fool who agreed that deal for the industry
  20. To old , not registered for VAT and not selling , mmmm bit rude I'd say . Didn't know that was compulsory really . Wouldn't let them get to you mate if I was you . Pleased your ok though in these weird times
  21. I was thinking that yesterday . Hope you guys are ok .
  22. We had a good customer who buys cars from us , 3 last year and previous years too , We always service his cars too if he manages to keep one long enough . hes in yesterday having his S3 serviced , looks at a VRS we have and says that's nice , So we and him can be on site to service his car , perfectly legal . He then cant be even on the same site to look at a car 4 ft away from himself , He was leaning on it when he was a service customer , Ran like the wind when he wanted to buy it ' Mad world We had a cuppa and had a proper laugh at the world going nuts , Anyway he bought it
  23. Had a call yesterday , golf Q ; has it had a cam belt and water pump , Has it got two keys , Does sat Nav work , Whats the make of the tyres . When was last service done .

TODAY ;; A; Told you not to mess its SOLD . THEN Q ; 3rd list , If all those questions can be answered correctly and by close of business i can offer you £18,000 and take it away . Answer , ; Listen my friend The car has a CHAIN not a BELT , Its advertised with TWO KEYS , SAT NAV works and its on the PICTURES i told you to look at , Advert says its NEW PIRELLIS all round , Advert says JUST SERVICED NOW , Pictures show its NOT LEATHER but cloth and Suede and yes its HEATED because it says so and PICTURED , New MOT Stated on Advert , There is no RUST as its only just 3 Years old , BUT ITS NOW SOLD and NO i wouldn't have took your £18,000 as its advertised for £21,000 BUT ITS SOLD you missed it . Response from him I Can offer £19,000 then I didn't answer so the prat sent a Row of ??????????? Thick stupid idiot , Good job he didn't buy it as its 300 bhp and his brain cant work that fast .

  25. Bet they will wish they'd bought now as when the lockdown ends all these happy go lucky cash offering loons will get left behind as prices rise to meet short supply and high demand . see it coming cant you , nothing moving into auction , no main dealer PX moving , No private sellers with anything bar junk ,and yet we have these fools are offering us 30% off bids . for well prepped fully serviced cars
