  1. What a sad little inadequate twat . Some people like those wasters want boiling in oil
  2. Well you should have looked at what your buying really , You state you also bought the car with faults present too so your not in a great place on here to start moaning about wheels are you really . Take some responsibility for your decisions and stop blaming others . The car was there for you to look at wasnt it , bet you bought it at less money than it should have been , Forget that when the moans kick in .
  3. I have this problem when I'm selling cars from our serial car buyer , he lives 2miles away and seriously has bought 8 cars from us this year alone , sold him a Scirocco last week and yesterday he was back asking us when we are getting any GTI Golfs in or 220 VRS Skodas as he fancies one next . He now brings a letter with him to pass on to any other buyer explaining he has a problem buying cars and keeping them . Last year he bought a VRS off another trader in Sheffield and didn't like the colour " Blue " drove it down and part exchanged it for an RS 265 CUP Megane we we had two days later , Just give him a price and boom deal done , But i still hate it when the next buyer says how long has the last owner had this car then " well let me tell you a story about that "and show them his nice written letter seems to always work . I've tried getting him to tax monthly and then i don't think I'd send the V5 off he's back that quick , Feel like renting him one sometimes but selling it is more beneficial to my bank account
  4. I,m really old school about closing , i will simply be here to sell a car , its that simple as far as I'm concerned , this week alone I've stayed open till 7pm and 8 pm to sell two cars , one on finance and one with a great px , sold the px two days later and made a good living from the three deals that wouldn't have taken place if I never stayed open . Even been here christmas day once , man rings when i was out in the woods with the dogs , I'm desperate for the GTI you have and I'm not a messer , got a Civic type R for Px too , arranged the time 50 mins later we met . GTI was a cracker , his Type R was a cracker and I went home after 30 mins with Debit card terminal full up and a nice type R which I sold in Jan . Another rang me one Sunday at 2pm from 300 miles away in Scotland , when you open till ? 4pm I said , OH I want that Corsa VXR , we arranged for him to ring me when he was at junc 30 M1 , Rang at 9.50 pm and we met at 10.30 pm at the garage , he walked in went oh yea I'll take that , paid me and drove off , all in 20 mins . My thought was if he can drive from Scotland I will meet him . Some I will ask to deposit £200 before I agree but only if I get the slightest hesitation from them . But I've had some cracking deals early mornings at late nights , I live for the deal though , don't actually need the money really but the thought of missing that deal would kill me dead . How I was trained by dad years ago I think , He was the same bless him, bet he watches me now going go on lad get that deal in the bag
  5. Should of retailed the car back to them , they have their plate back then
  6. My old dad used to offer that sort of deal years ago , he was a greengrocer . Oranges were 10p each or 5 for 60p . i was amazed how many old dears bought 5
  7. Guy rang up this morning . " can i come see the UP " Walks in and does the usual MOT , found a MAJOR point of damage on the inside of the door card " was a piece of plastic stuck on the door half size of a stamp so i brushed it off " Didn't like the colour of the key fob , so i took the white UP cover off it This car has done 15k with 6 Services one owner £4,995 this car . Then told me about looking at another one yesterday that the trader had put up in price and told him that stock is that short he's put everything up in price , So his Advertised price was £4,995, screen was £5,195 " THEN BID me £4,500 from £4,995 for mine after he told me the story . NOPE sorry pal He's gone to see another round the corner , wife wants the car but his buying strategy has been confused , come in like car buyer of the year guy 2019 and left like a pussy cat . Tempted to put it up to £5,295 cos he will be back
  8. He wants a cyber friend Your the chosen one
  9. Dear Sir / madam ; Send me your phone number , email and watsapp , address , post code , and contact you asap and read the whole advert to you , please have a note pad and pen and pen so you take notes , when we have established a connection and you have really listened to me read you the advert AGAIN When you have listened AGAIN please have a debit card ready so I can relieve you of a deposit
  10. Think he rings me as well . i read the advert back to him
  11. No point if you don't get FCA approved , not difficult , then you can choose who to deal with and attain some commission too , No Brainer
  12. Oh dear Casper . Sack him nothing worse than a bad paint job when confronted with a customer . MY
  13. Autotrader should charge Car Guru Money then and complete their mission
  14. Both the reps love me , keep me in Biscuits they do varies month on like everything really regarding the finance , I don't turn debit cards down but i do push the finance deals , Had three customers one sat morning on same car Guess who got it Moto Novo Man , one was a ditherer and the other wanted money off for cash
  15. I've sold 8 cars this month upto now on Prime Finance MOTO NOVO & Close Brothers ranging from Three at £3,295 , £7995, £8295 ,Two at £ 10749 , £14995 These are cars I wouldn't of sold as soon otherwise in my opinion if I waited for a debit card customer . . Never had one bounce back either . But I don't entertain Subprime deals , my advice to them is sort your life out , get your credit history repaired and start again . If they cant get prime rates they cant afford to run the car , but that's my thinking .
  16. Look forward to a few posts RA Welcome
  17. I know the feeling Its always an old lady on Sunday when it happens to me , Dry this morning though . Young guy in his BMW 420 i convertible edging ahead thought i was in a diesel XF i think , Made his eyes water when i left the lights bet his girlfriend still laughing at him
  18. Haha that made me laugh , 2litre diesel car on back of 6 litre delivery truck because cars are banned , typical modern Finking that isn't it When I was a lad we recycled everything Milk In Glass bottles Cabbages in News paper Fruit in Paper bags Pop Bottles in glass Fish n chips in Paper Electric Milk carts Then the modern youf changed it all didn't they and now blame us
  19. Been there done Pilots on my previous XFR ,shredding the Pilots was my problem Good tyre but longevity wasn't their strong point Think its the dry grip or lack of ,that was my problem , seeing as I only drive 99% of the time in dry weather I went back to Dunlops . Cant see the point of driving it in the rain with the extra power it carries ,touching base at close to 700 bhp at remap , Church ladies in Punto's leave me at the lights in the rain plus it gets dirty
  20. We had an S Tronic last year , coming to a halt it launched into 1st gear instead of 2nd , then shuddered slightly moving off . My Son looked at fixing it and it was circa £2k for the parts for him to do it himself . we bought it right and sold on Ebay , lets say it left for Poland shortly after at a medium to healthy profit , This guy was going to convert it to left hand drive he said , paid up and left . happy days . CRAP gear boxes . Hope you get out of it ok
  21. We had the American WW2 planes over our house a few months ago Message for Ronney Milson Get some bloody proper WORK done or you will be broke for ever stop writing Shite
  22. Funny how if you pay MONEY to the council its ok to drive vans in the city isn't it . Either Diesels are bad or they aren't , A daily charge doesn't make it better does it , Like London Congestion Charge , they now pay to queue it was free to queue before wasn't it . Bit like speeding tickets from cameras , SPEED KILLS they say , then they charge you £100 for 35mph so its ok how the devil does that work . Just been talking to a ex traffic cop friend of mine about bad driving in this heavy rain , he hates cameras and said when he was on duty he stopped offenders and gave them a talking too , think it was called education then What it really wants is no one to drive into Bristol or anywhere else that bans cars , only need one week and they would change instantly Mind maybe not Corbyn or the Libs /Green idiots they haven't a clue about businesses full stop Rant over I'm going for dinner now
  23. Only tyre I can get that's Jaguar rated here is DUNLOP , Good tyres on the car though , I do like them
