  1. Anything ten years old is worth mega money as its cheap money in publics eyes , that's why , no keeping pace with old scrappers now days , As for glasses guide or Cap guide , well both are out of date day by day . waste of money joining them now days , better off guessing if you don't know the job well . I've got an old PX CRV Honda 07 plate , £5,995 this piece of ancient out of date engineering is . 15yrs old and the interest in it is bloody stupid , Who on gods earth would spend 6k on a 15 year old banger . Be sold today I'll tell you , only went up 5 pm yesterday . Amazing . I miss those days actually , good old days they were , who thought they would end
  2. Can take two to three weeks .
  3. Dead easy mate . V5 number can have any number 1 - 9 I just always use 5 . This is handy if you get a car without a V5 C /2 green slip I don't even let customers see the old V5 now , GDPR
  4. Tax it when new keeper buys it , doc number on front of V5 , just add number 5 to front of that number to tax it as normal online , Then transfer to new owner online , dead easy .
  5. Then two years later they sit in front us with a strange look and a jaw on the floor , just found they've been shafted two years ago and their cars worth £92.70 instead of £1,500
  6. Slow fast slow fast here . Today its on fire , Five going out tomorrow , Three booked viewings and sat here waiting for one more today
  7. I bet they counted the cash and laughed when Cazzoo left the meeting . You want to spend HOW much , Of course sir , Sit here sir , Let me get you lunch booked
  8. Haha experts at work
  9. All prattling about used cars , that they have zero clue about . One wonders why its all falling down not making money
  10. Moved house , did it online and was back with me in 4 days , astonished . Friend did the online thing for the ten year renewal and was same 4 days . double astonished
  11. Ring DVLA and ask if a mistake has taken place with what they have told you , They are not that clever in a lot of cases , depends who you get on the phone a lot of times , Sounds a weird one that does . If the last owner is telling you the truth that is . Private buys are a risky way to buy cars of value , disasters can and do take place .
  12. First the door handle isnt covered by a warranty is it , it was all fine when it left , A third party broke it . Owners job to fix it . Cruise control was a silly mistake , PROOF read adverts , But they did pick it up , inspect it and drive it away , Blackmail does not sit well in my mind . Cruise on them may well be plug and play stalk , Ebay it and send him a stalk if you really want to pander to blackmail . His thing to get it fixed on the car , Door is a NO Go Mr customer , If he broke the fuel flap off , Ran his wheel down a pot hole , Hit his gate with the bumper , Snapped his key in a Lock it wouldn't be Your job to fix them , So why a door handle ? Tell him Blackmail doesn't sit well , Door handle not covered under any warranty , we don't pay third parties labour to fix anything , Cruise control was Autotrader or whoever advertiser you use AUTO Fill but its the customers responsibility to check the spec . Warranty claim denied this time .
  13. For free Yes sir we can both have all day off driving to see you , fuel both cars , drive back and all for FREE
  14. Sell it to your own business , Its your private purchase . You can either sell it at £14k to yourself or whatever sell price you get for it . One way you pay a little VAT other way you pay no VAT , Your car to do as you like with . If you sell it through the business the usual stuff applies regarding the sale like any other car . 30 days CRA and all that stuff
  15. Don't tell everyone , walls have ears
  16. Was seven repairs actually too but i did that one on Pinocchio's day off . None of the repairs were to the web site cars either , but shhhhhh we don't tell Pinocchio we have more stock .
  17. Thanks for that , I will be on it . Cheers
  18. Interesting you sell repair kits , Kits with Dremmel drill and the rest of the package , How much if i can ask ? One with the 240 v Dremmel Thin fluid and the thicker fluid , Setting light and all . looking to fix our own screens as getting someone to do it is hopeless round here . Borrowed a screen guys kit the other day to do 6 of our screens , Made a good job if i say so myself
  19. Like any sale we all make , Has to be fit for purpose , Some Finance companies ask for at least 6 months MOT is something you might get . Thing with Finance sales is you have to be prepared to buy it back if the car goes wrong , CRA act , Finance T/C's , Whining customers who go straight to finance company to complain . They are the bad things , Been dealing with Finance for years ourselves and never had problems . All in the prep as per any other sales . Well serviced , clean , proper repaired cars that don't need touching for 12 months is the aim in our heads . My advice is stick to prime finance sales too, Subprime customers cant afford to maintain the car so its your fault till it rots .
  20. My thoughts are " If you need Zuto its all over anyway " 11 months and wanting money back is fiction . Only way that works is if there is more to the complaint than this , eg ongoing complaint regarding same fault . If its not that , Just wants contacting and closing down with a , Go to Zuto . its their baby now .
  21. Long time since I had hammer fever ___________________________________________________________________________________ Remember being at Brighouse BCA a few years ago . Golf GTI and my daughter is bidding on it , In front of me were three typical guys who think girls shouldn't be in an auction . they are verbal to the point of me listening very easy to , Bid her up . Another one , Make her pay . Take her £6k mate . So I nip over the hall say your last bid is £5900 some guys are trotting you , and the last bid went to them at 6k plus fees . They were devastated yelling at each other . £1,000 over CAP which then was a lot of money , Auctioneer saw daughter later and shook her hand
  22. BCA has become a retail outfit , Not fit for purpose really is it . The auction system has changed at BCA . Vendors are migrating their stock elsewhere as contracts end , they don't like BCA retail competition . Used Covid to initiate change .
