Different world now pal , your decades behind . He's no bull talker , its how it was back in the day . Harder in some respect and easier in other respects . But its always changing and always will .

Another guy just rang said "ay up pal got my car going in this week for work then selling it , anyway I can wait till next wednesday to collect your car I've seen" . Transpires he wants 14k on Finance too , so I said yes my friend I'll send you the deal , BOOM he auto accepts too . sends me £1,890 online deposit and I await to meet him next week . Two in one day Just got to replace the bloody cars now though oh well soon be Monday . He was treated like that he said , covered in tattoos all over , but a really nice young lad when I met him . cant judge a book as they say .

Now that was his opening comment this morning at 9.30 am What do you have you need valuing then i ask . Its a VXR Mate , mi mates wanting to buy it off me but want to know what he's got to pay me for it , fair like money so thought id ask a trader , mmmmm So your looking at buying a car I'm selling then was my approach . Two traders apparently told him to take a hike and value it himself . Might buy one mate depends on deal n what I get So I said ok , got a little time with coffee in hand , took the details of the VXR and gave him a retail figure minus £200 LOL heard his mate say "ok bud I'll tek off yer at that money then " So my next question was now you've sold your car what you looking for to replace it then . Be bak later mate he said , so I thought oh well my kind deed for the day 30 mins later i receive a credit checker , High High High eligibility on all levels , this was on a 20 k car .So i rang the number back and it was the same guy with the VXR Corsa . Got the money off mi mate he goes like this motor can I put 2k deposit , so i sent him the deal BOOM auto accept and hes just left with it . Worth the effort after all .

Jerry can and a syphon out the sender hatch lol or trade plates and test it works till its nearly gone

Just put £20 extra on the price , then you wont come over as a rather tight Guy Then £5 extra above your £15 x 20 per month = another £1,200 added to your £3,600 = £4,800 so your even better off then x 5 years = £24,000 or 25 yrs = £120,000 .

Fastest come backs you ever heard Casper . Ruthless , direct to the point with no prisoners . She is ruthless . But great at sales too , kind understanding , remembers deals and names .

Just about heard all these except the flipping these for a profit , He would leave sharpish oh yes , Zero toleration for fools in my world . These idiots do not realise there are PLENTY of other customers , HEY Listen " we don't need you go away " Want to hear some of the garbage when my daughter gets one , Wrong move on their part is that one hahahahahah

Seems its dependant on what BCA it is in my opinion . One says its got to have an assured report to drive it , then it turns up being driven anyway without a report . Some say its only 3 at a time to get it on a lorry , we've had three cars on three lorries last week on same day all from same BCA but one went to my house then rang me to say he was stuck in the culdesac with a full double decker transporter , who'd turn into a little close with a lorry that big . Don't be in a hurry if you do get them delivered either , what a joke , 0 to 10 days they say ,We bought 30 cars in three weeks then only 12 came inside 10 days , Had delivery charge refunded for the rest " best part of £1,200 " , still waiting for paper work for some others ,Lost service history and spare key on one , sent us £500 back then it turned up two days later . Another turned up with a whacking dent in the bonnet from the transporter , driver said not me mate , who did it then the bonnet fairy , BCA gave us £1,080 +VAT towards fixing it . Total loones at present BCA are, don't know if they are turning left or right ,

They don't understand though the concept we have to earn a profit do they . I ask what would happen to their wages if their boss at work failed to make a profit I'm pretty sure they don't have a clue how it all works half the time .

This young guy just arrived from over 100 miles away , no call , just turned up . rang the number on our door , " Hi I'm outside come to see the Golf you have " So we lets him in , there's the car , he wants to test drive it . Need a deal setting up first my friend I say , as hes mentioned a PX outside . 56 Plate 112,000 miles Zetec S in white , Bit Rare he goes so don't look at yer values on this one , I want decent money for it . " Wont be buying the Golf then one thinks " HPI /Experian reveals his car was born BLUE then changed to WHITE in 2010 , Its also got 14 previous owners , all odd tyres at 2mm , MATT Paint , Wrapped Bonnet , Kerbed wheels No History , says hes had 3 years but he'd had it March 2020 . What do want for it then i says 3k mate he goes I printed CAP and autotrader out for him £270 & £295 came out , so how do you value it 3k then , Cos i need that for the deposit on finance . Its not how it works though , tried explaining but he didn't actually get it , had zero concept that his car had a value based on ,condition , service history ,Provenance age and miles . He argued the fact that he wanted 3k for it based on the requirement of a deposit to get the payments down to what he could afford . Plus he had driven 100 + miles to get the golf . But you cant afford it I say based on what i can give you for the Fiesta . Its not rare , its been to friendly with to many owners , its not been serviced , its changed colour , it wants scrapping . Go sell it yourself . "Tried mate no one rang bout it " mmmmm wonder why Whats best you can do on my car then he asks now realising the reality of the valuation system . £50 i say his mate says that's what that other guy said Hes gone to sell it himself , rare cars those old school Zetec S 's , be zero tread on tyres now as he wheel spun down the road They have NO Clue nowdays at all , I remember being 11 yrs old and knowing cars had values based on condition .

Oh Dear . Save your money , you will need it for a new engine soon

Doesn't affect work places though does it . 7 at work but only 6 at home, bizzare rules .

Just an excuse to half open and keep selling online , whos going to travel to LOOK at a car then bid online day after or later in the day .

Only reason CAP prices are any use in my working out is when Finance is involved and the deal is tight , so I'm looking at getting a deal with 110%/ 120% of CAP retail because most finance companies use the system . Apart from that its Profit back everytime , but to do that system from the starter point of view don't forget to factor in repairs , service , tyres etc

Gear box man in Mansfield Woodhouse . Hes good .

BCA are looking at opening a very restricted type of sale , one buyer per account & masked up , but its looking like the type of sale thats for the cheapie stuff just one day a week or two weeks . Thats from the horses mouth when i collected a car from our local BCA and talking to the manager , confirmed by another guy same day too . Online is far to easy for them isnt it Less admin people , less cleaners , No drivers. Cars dont need moving , More car park space , The staff arent in uniform , No Vendors to take care of creeping about . Just too easy at present

retail figure back is the way to think forward in simple terms Look at a car , find its retail value from various sites like ebay or autotrader , take off fuel costs , service costs , warranty costs , advertising costs , valet costs , MOT Costs , Your intended profit margin and the figure left is your Buying price . Pay more and you earn less its that simple really .

Had an/ well got an SPM Number plate making machine for a while now . always buy their plates and backing reflective's off them £500/£600 a time making 60 /80 pairs of plates a month . , spent over 5k 2019 , 3k this year with the lock down , but its picked up so plate stocks are low now , you have to spend £1,500 she said , BUT I do and I pay you don't i no you don't yes i do was the argument ? had a right go at me because i said I was going to write about them on here then phoned me back saying they had confused me with another customer hahahahahah F@@K OFF was their answer . On the termination letter they sent they put the other garage on the address part , so i rang them , they spend over £1,500 too , they've chucked it in as well LOLthe guy was fuming What fool can ring a customer up now days saying we don't want your money anymore One phone call has cost them 8/10k a year on plates . Stupid world , proper stupid it is . New company installing on Friday, they are happy with new business and we had a laugh about SPM So if your looking at plate machines , I don't recommend S.P.M in Leeds Ohhhhhh No

Oh I dont think so , my daughter is a viper , down the station when she got back , complaint went in to the sergeant , written in complaint too . Inside sources say hes gone for re training we have two retired cops who drive cars for us , they asked the question

My daughter got pulled last week for NO Insurance , Plates in window , Plates on MID . Stupid Copper said plates only cover TAX , NO they don't yes they do argument took place for 20 mins before my daughter called the bloody police from the coppers car Can you tell this twat he doesn't know his job she said

At Home Rory I did sneak off one year though , got a call Christmas Morning , took dog out , did the deal and back before my wife knew i was missing Sold a Golf GTI and took a Honda civic as part ex all in 30 min , he took the GTI away i locked up and took the dog home again £2k up too made my Christmas took a whack out the Civic too in the New year . My lad said wheres this come from LOL shhhhh don't tell your mum .

Chineses takeway forum LOL He's waiting for the prices to go UP , he's on our side Mark I've just put two UP £800 last night and got a customer coming tomorrow on one of them , just passed finance prop at the higher price and the deals set for 1pm Friday . This guys waits for November to strike a deal hes going to be handing over more cash to some lucky dealer for a better deal Your not good at this are you Better change your name to " Nevergoingtobeadealer " There's a shortage of good stock my friend , that means only one thing , supply shortage and prices don't go down . Like rice at Chinese takeaways that MarkTVS is on about , Rice Shortage and price goes UP not down . Your not going to change the thoughts of the guys on here with ramblings about price crashes and future discussions about what happens after your down turn predictions , better not try being a car dealer though as your not really in the correct thought patterns , or make decisions quick enough either . Keep doing your day job , not time for a career move just yet . You do make me laugh though over my coffee . so thanks for that .

Waiting that long it will be long gone lol Not much power in that type of knowledge .

You chose to offer a refund if you didn't make a difference to the pedal . Two mechanics may well be correct in their opinion , you should of pointed that out VERY clearly at the point of sale , Valet is a for gone isn't it , you would spend £80 on the car to sell it anyway wouldn't you . Lesson " Dear customer don't pay a deposit unless you actually want the car , If you want it refunding when you come it will remain on sale at all times and I will sell it " Lesson , Don't offer deposits back , or why take one in the first place . Pay her back in full like you promised .
