  1. That's the way . but use the V5/C2 green slip ref number , and yes it can be used twice or more
  2. So he knew and said yes to £800 now hes sending mummy to get it without paying, wow what a nutter . Hate people quote Chinese parts on flea bay , I've got some parts mate whats it cost to fit them , "NOWT we don't charge for fitting your parts" lol Because we dont fit them
  3. Funny how she can afford it at 0% interest isn't it Bet she lost her copy of the secci paper work she would have been given ,
  4. No worries here my friend , lousy wet day but were all good , well just me and the wife now , all fled the nest , so its me the wife and the dog , Bliss i must say , got the house to our self . 6.30 pm and still at work , some things don't change lol Still out pace the kids Hope your all good too Casper .
  5. Atari whats one one of those I had real air guns , Throwing arrows , Cross bows , catapults , knives , Fires in the woods , secret dens in the forest and tree rope swings over rivers . All well frowned upon now
  6. Thought they were the dogs dangles in the day Casper , Then I had a go in that one we sourced and sold , 50 yrs later , wow what a piece of useless waste of metal
  7. They are not touched for ages when being transferred from dealer to auction , their way of killing the virus , leave it and it dies off . so you will find it can take months to get where they are going sometimes
  8. Thats the life time experience too Pal . Pendragon is all rubbish , always has been always will be .
  9. The search for the sales online on a desk top computer is near impossible Look for the lot eg ukcg 302 NT means its uk car group 302 at Notts , BB is Black bushe PT is Peterbourgh and likewise . Its not easy i must say , when youve chosen what you think is the correct sale look in Catalogue to make sure its in that sale . By far the easiest way is the app on a phone that tells you how many lots away the car is and connects you to the sale easy . If you still want to see the car on desk top screen and bid look for the car going in the sale on your phone , then look for that car on lap top screen and connect . Hope that helps . BCA have no idea and aint bothered either . Pen dragon has a number like PEN105 PT eg that means Pendragon 105 at Peterborough takes years to pick it all up .
  10. Best to just try taxing it first before customer turns up , Just to make sure its the correct green slip eg the latest one . Then you can do as you say and make the transfer
  11. It will be a NO on that one for sure , Be three weeks down the road too before you hear anything so get holding your breathe , then your just three weeks later doing anything about it . Assured reports are just pure extortion money , just times x 25,000 cars by the charge and see where the money involved is , its why they wont stop it .
  12. Mallard Finance do older classics too 01206 243100 They are brokers , think you have the be FCA approved to deal with them . But real easy to work with and competitive too . If i didn't use Moto Novo and Close I would give them more business but its the speed of the prop I go for , next day or two hours later isn't soon enough . Iv'e used them for a couple of weird sales like an old Rover 2000 for a guy , worked well there .
  13. If your platinum it will fall to gold if you don't make the numbers . If your gold they will drop you to Silver if you don't make the 12 purchases in one rolling year . However get in touch when they drop you and ask to be put back , they are going to look at the time scale you last bought and previous history , buts in their interest to get you back as a customer isn't it , so ask them , probably say we will put you back up and you will have to buy say 4 cars in two months as that's gold level isn't it .
  14. Funny how its different isn't it in different places , Our local Aldi is like trying to get in the Bank of England after closing time dressed in a convict suit while wearing a clown face . Stand there , wait here , don't move ,go now Last time i went for a pint of milk this girl gave me a trolley , so i dumped it at the door , to be tapped on the shoulder and told to take the trolley back as its a social distance tool , really i said , fetch the store boss , NOW , Told the boss the girl at the door halfheartedly wiped the handle , then this Muppet dragged it down to me without wiping it tapped me on the shoulder with his less than two metre arm and told me to queue up with it and was he implying i couldn't stand two meters apart . Here's your milk , stuff your store , I'll go 40 yds up the road to a garage who appreciates the sale , walked out .
  15. Love this example for running a business during Covid We are looking for 6 bucket seats for the track cars , estimated cost around £3-4,000 for the lot so not a bad order really is it . Phones this place in Notts to see if we can go out look and collect . Response was amazing , " oh you cant just come I'll send you a text with the information we need " text arrives . we need you to fill in the deceleration of health saying you haven't got coughs , temperature or feeling unwell etc . Prove we have a mask . Use the gloves provided and handwash on arrival omg . Then we only see people at 11am and 2 pm and only one person can come in at a time for 30 mins So I rang back and said I have £4,000 with your name on it , only time I can get is 5pm are you sure you don't want the money . Answer was . There wont be anyone here at 5 pm as we close at 5pm you have the rules so please abide by them or spend your money elsewhere ASTONISHING Be one of those firms in 6 months time that's blaming Covid for putting them out of business .
  16. That's because they DON'T understand takings Versus Profit , some actually think the entire sell price is ours to keep,

  18. I was just thinking the same thing No offence Mark but next time I'm up north
  19. Become next round of new car traders
  20. Just put top bid in and take the prize , its what a proxy bid is , cars worth 7k just put £7,050 bid in an wait , Next 10 bids come at 5 to 6 k and you win at £6,100 simples if some one bids it up to 7 k you win at £7,050 still simples , over your top bid an I win still simples . Fight another day . Only like a physical auction an me watching you and another guy trading bids till one walks and I nick it off you with one wave of £50 isn't it ,
  21. SIV price on your example is £1,150 Assured report £35 + VAT is an expense not siv , VAT on that charge is reclaimable Delivery is another expense and any delivery vat is reclaimable eg £150 +vat Margin VAT is calculated from eg ; on your example £1,150 , eg sold at £2,495 = £1,345 gross = £224 VAT payable Net profit =£1,121
  22. That one has made my tea break Loved to have seen his face
  23. My old fella made me save up twice for my first car , whys that i said , got to run it lad was his reply I never forgot that lesson . £205 mini 850 cc it was at 20,000 miles , wish i still had that little devil now
  24. I've been with Close for more than four years , I haven't got a Lamborghini
  25. Exactly , bangers are us its the place to be , cheap cheap cheap on face book , even if it doesnt work some wally will take it away , decent stuff mmmmm like watching paint dry trying to sell them on face book .
