NO

We do stipulate RTB , this old guy was trying it on , but my son just happened to be down there on a short break , BINGO result . Got him bang to rights the thieving old goat .

SIX Hours to buy a £1,600 car and then try doing you for £4,000 repairs . I think a scam smells of a piss take to me , who on gods earth travels 3 hrs one way for a £1,600 car unless its been done before and to take a dollar off the trader in question Calls you on way home to start the bad news bit then hit you with a 4k repair bill , she must be taking something to get that high smells of Bull Shite to me Suppose only you knows the car though , so was it a pile or not ? could be the question . If it wasn't a scrapper i would be on my bike to find the car and her . I had this once with a nice guy from 250 miles away , bought a SLK from me rang me up after 30 mins to say the rear Diff had gone but the AA were taking him home bearing in mind he was tone DEAF , Merc quoted £5,000 to replace , so i said NO worries my son is down your way and he's a very talented tech , My lad was there in less than 25 mins , Guess what No Problems at all , NO AA recovery receipt, NO Whinging Diff when my lad drove it . NO Merc quote , We rang Merc and they said they hadn't heard of that reg either , Thieving scoundrel , He got the biggest roasting from my lad ever , then he got me on the phone too . I invoiced him £300 for the inspection and then sent a court claim when he didn't pay it , then the bailiffs, he got a CCJ for his trouble because he ran out of time and they collected over £800 in the end . Moral of this is ; GO AND FIND THE CAR if you know its good .

We stick them through we "buy any van"

Hi , I worked this out some years ago , 19 cars at £120 =£2,280 a MONTH terrified me x 12 £27 k a year Been self warrantied from that day . Reckon I'm £300k up over the time span

Halifax do this without FCA number , they pay you direct , There's a way round it they use because they did the deal not you . No problem with him paying you with the banks money at all . I presume from that the customer is paying you and not his bank ?

You will see this quite a lot , BCA clear it if you ring them , they have a dedictaed dept to clear the cars and then the vendor sends you an email or BCA forward it to you . When you ring them on a car you've purchased tell them its sold and you need clearance asap . BCA are helpful with this subject .

BE Very Aware if they come in for PX They would hide a multitude of sins wouldn't they . I've got an A6 Avant in with something similar to those in the boot for the dog , £160 for the dog to sit on My dogs got a whole car to himself that didn't cost that much Imagine Mr/ Mrs Car owner in for px , oh the mats can go with the car , YEA after I've looked underneath them they can Now whats this hole in the floor doing here Mr/Mrs Car owner px seller

Didn't work for us , waste of money as far as I'm concerned

Ive done it before , you wont get the tax back if you sell it though , so maybe monthly is best then just stop the direct debit when you sell it . Use the V5c2 and you can use the same number when you sell it .

Be nice but i cant get it every month , that's the trouble . I am on a good rate with them though . Although I have got one today 1st of the month , Prime and collects Sat so I hope it continues

Now that's sods law isn't it .

You want to try AA site its only pennies a week at the side of Autotrader BUT you might as well SHUT because you wont sell anything If your Not making AT work look at what you advertise would be the first step , condition , price " inc if your too cheap " , pics , wording on adverts , Stock type , Ebay will sell cheaper stuff I would think , Car Gurus might sell cheaper stuff , AT sells all cars believe me , we couldn't imagine not being on there to tell the truth . BUT again others on here are living proof that life after AT works as well . All depends as there is not one all round rule that fits all in this game .

I agree there my friend Nothing at all , no bungs , just making sure a private pays retail money . Nothing wrong there

Thats a good sport at auctions , love bidding on my own px rubbish when a privates on it even hug it just before it goes in hall , was a night auction a few years ago i used to put the scrap through , visit on auction night , sit next to private and bid them up , came out hundreds of £££££ @s better off

Been a very good finance month round here for some reason , weird month on that front even the ones who i thought were buying on debit card wanted to spread the cost . . Even sold two cars at 3k with 100% finance all prime as well 75 % of the sales on finance has made this month a record with today were on 37 as of todays 2 so happy days , cant wait for the 1st week in August when the commission hits the bank Cant buy the stock though , but thats another story

It Isn't

Its not illegal to trot to reserve price , Auctioneers are aware of that , BCA have a routine of putting a car through 3 times and if it doesn't make its money it usually sells or goes elsewhere if the bids are to low . But we all know it happens , usually its a piece of junk they cant get bids on though as anything decent will sell anyway . Seen it happen many times , when we have put cars in the block they bounce bids off me , of course then i agree with it . Horses for courses isn't it Remember once we two bloody Yaris PX things back when a Yaris might sell , Both had serious issues and i only gave £50 for one and £75 for the other . Took them both to bits and made one good one sold it for £1,200 Put the scrapper back together and blocked it even let the oil out the gear box it was leaking that much took it on a trailer to BCA and booked it in . Nothing worked on that car and i mean nothing , Two privates start looking so I hugged it as I was there at the sale day . Auctioneer looks at me when it went in and starts bouncing bids off my head , I was next to the privates so starts wagging the catalogue , what should have been scrap money or £200 best went for £975 Bloody quid to mrs private , Think I finished up with £700 + for the biggest bag of shite you've ever seen ,Bet shes never been to an auction again Motto don't fall for shiny shite at auction

That my friend is an important comment , people do treat us as a storage unit sometimes . I have the same clause in our terms /conditions too . I had a guy a while ago who waited two weeks then emailed me to say he was leaving the car till the end of the following month for taxing purposes , Wont save anything was my reply as you will incur storage charges for the month that's equal to the tax fetched it next day

My advice would be to change your stock profile , if its standing still on its own then borrowing money wont help will it ? All it means is you need a faster burn rate of sales , more bites at the cherry pot , more profit per unit , all goes to changing stocking profile as you have to much money tied up in too few cars . Regards Stocking loans ; paying these set ups is expensive in the long run , they make it sound cheap but its not . seen some sound little business go down because of these guys . Know some floating in Heaven but haven't a clue its closing in on them Finance companies will lend stocking money but want reciprocal business , always wondered how that works myself . How does it go if customer wants to pay cash , " er no Mr Customer has to be finance " doesn't work in reality does it . I'm old school though so Know NOTHING , don't listen to me .

7 speed are fine if you know how to look after them . And can FIX them in house or if they need to go elsewhere , Goodbye profit in car . lovely when working , money losers when you get a bad one .
