Transport down under might kill that deal though

Thats bad news for helping a customer isnt it , Bad new for the dead person too but was the drivers fault not the garage owner . Litigation now days is as bent as it comes .

Probably better off with a steam engine than a Vauxhall Engine bag of Coal

Just watch they don't log it as a Colour change vehicle which comes up on HPI /Experian checks if you go that route .

We have a 107 08 plate 51k on clock , PX i took in last year for £150 , added to MID with no loading as we have courtesy car insurance , I charge £20 for insurance and a £200 deposit so they look after it , Picture of their licence and a signed declaration of the fact they are responsible for the first £1,000 as it concentrates their mind . Fuel is fill as found .

Its the application of the KISS method Casper I was taught to K eep I t S imple S tupid

Private cant claim VAT back Business can claim VAT back That's the only difference there is to it Just show VAT on either invoice when you sell it . Of course you send VAT to Customs in either sale , Dead Simple

Autotrader want to keep throwing the customer tranparency thing at the aurgument . I told them last friday its NOT transparent though is it Car with wrong colour , no service history , standard wheels , one key , short MOT , 2mm tyres all round and bloody key mark WILL be priced low , but who the bejesus is going to want it . This then makes the alternate car thats got full history , new tyres , two keys and finished in a pretty colour look expensive . As Umesh above states , " wonder how many people just keep scrolling past the best stock " Great transparency is that idea for the customer who doesnt understand how the pricing bollocks works

Had a girl this morning looking at a car for herself , she asks if there's any discount on the price . Just shown her the price marker at Great Price and said we have to price low to get that marker so the days of discounting have ended due to Autotraders interference ,Told her we used to put that car up for £5,695 last year and take £5,500 but now its priced at £5,495 to start with so its a "no" nowdays , She paid me screen price How it has to be I'm afraid isn't it . Everyone says they want transparency so its very transparent now . Screen Price "simples"

Shhhh Casper dont tell everyone Anyway a 7 and 9 can be confused officer

Speed restrictor fitted , they will do 90+mph easy without it

Sold four this week all priced high . Cant buy them to sell at AT prices , or Car Guru prices . Funnily enough both were different prices too Only wants one customer with a brain i suppose , I hate the markers though with a passion

That's just bragging

I was only a young lad then

Off to devils Room i say , Off to the devils room with your wallet . People wanting loans like this have waaaaaaaay more money than myself , sell the car and walk till you are over the temporary issue with the money .

Clueless they are

Makes me wonder what they do with them Casper .

Different Block to me then Think I'm trying to compete with Mr Retail Twat + fees at the block with the prices saw a battered Fiesta this morning make well over RETAIL

What big mistakes do they make when looking at a car themselves then ?, If they come to me for the same car your trying to look for, it wouldn't be a mistake would it as they have what they wanted in the first place . If they wanted an Audi S3 from you and went and bought Ford Fiesta ST instead then that shows how unstable they were in the first place . You obviously make it work after 15 yrs and bloody good luck to you as well as you deserve the deals after searching for their requirements , I just think those sort of customers expect me to find it , clean it , service it , present it, stump up the cash , price it less than mkt , ring them up for them to say " Sorry i changed my mind I now want a black one " and thats why its a Deposit in my books .

9k for an 18 plate Merc . mmmmmmm thats cheap Terrible thing that happened but it was to good to be true wasn't it .

Same with mine pal . They must have a search / viewing glitch

£3,000 on the nose , 4 of us on the policy including son and daughter , SDP for our own cars SDP for Motor cycles , personal and sales bikes , business use , test drives , customer loan car , 4 sets of trade plates , No age restrictions , Public liability inc , Tools in workshop to 50k , tools and products in detail unit to 40k

So it was you who bodged that car i bought

Them were the days Casper , fixing exhausts with coke cans and that stuff you had to wet then apply to the said repair , went bone hard and come off 10 miles down the road

Mate of mine back then had a dad who bought 4 of those Simca Vans i 1975 for his business , they rattled their tits off after about 2,000 miles . Sounded grim , and the paint fell off too in great big rusty blebs . My god they were crap
