They could . they would . BUT if you do and look like winning or win , Its goodbye account tata cheerio & F@ck off mr, miss, mrs Car buyer . ACCOUNT SHUT . Truth is they dont need us , What about when they ask you " where is this cash from " READING THE BLOODY ACCOUNT NAME WILL ANSWER THAT " You useless moron I'm stood there dressed from head to bloody foot in badged clothes . Made to look like Dick Turpin with £2k in bag .

Absolutely agree my friend , but getting money back from BCA is like milking stones . Then again they are not the British car auctions they once were are they ? The new staff are trained to piss customers off , like our friend above with cracked windscreen , its totally wrong as that's going to cost him circa £200/ £300 to replace . Must be getting close to being too big to deal with or by buying off them are you just buying from the competition . Like a giant gone mad .

Only way they will listen is if most of us stop buying from BCA They have the monopoly and they know it .

Hi Casper Good here , wondered where you had gone , All the best for Christmas to you all . Cheers David

These are the very people WHO STATE we as traders /businesses MUST treat people FAIRLY too . we must tell customers we get coms , find customers cheaper deals , tell customers every thing , all the private stuff that was considered private at one time and rude to ask about . But the FCA can dish £250 fines for anything they choose . My daughter rang to ask about the complicated system they have , Some lady went through it all , Didnt tell us where the submit button was , £250 for thinking it was done , We went bat shite at them , not our fault was the reply , we stuck it out and they said " just this once they would not fine us " how f@@@@@g kind of them . Theiving gits

BCA are just the bottom of a deep pile nowdays , the other trade outlets are just as bad . main dealers are hard work too , trade to trade are the pits of rubbish , worst thing ever was when we buy started , BCA in the days before the virus was always limited to the feeling of the traders in the hall on any sale , even buying on line we saw the cars go through the hall , saw other traders looking and walking off , The auctioneers responded to the hall feel , now the best Auctioneers have left , the new boys know zilch . Its a different world , auctions were a dangerous place before this but imagine starting out again , Lord help any ( if any ) new starters . Must be a lot of wasted money right now with any new traders buying at auction ,

Check the rates they charge to take American Express , We wont entertain that form of card at all . But we don't take credit card for car purchases full stop Deposit or balance , based on section 75 and the costs involved for taking it . Say no and they will find another card of the debit kind , if not they were not genuine anyway

imagine what their charge for that would have been

You wont get a referral fee I doubt if your not FCA registered . Its Gabriel reports you haven't done , need doing if you do deals or not . Why you had the fine . Theres a portal you need to sign into , fill in the details of any finance activity your firm has done and submit it .

If you take BCA to court in any way Your account will be terminated , its how they work .

most stuff we read / see / look at /or sent to us online on the news is untrue , exaggerated or complete bollocks so it well be true what a lorry drivers tells us Only true thing going on is a Volcano on Las Palmas and we don't hear about that , unless its Brexit or Boris's fault cant believe much at all from the media can we . just read , blackouts , no turkey , no sprouts , no lights ,, no kids toys , no carrots , spuds are short , no crackers and no petrol at Christmas , Cheers Happy new F######ing year hope it snows us in till Spring bet Santa is banned too .

Asda petrol is shite at best . had a mini cooper s , daughter took it to Asda instead of Shell , EML light as she came out of the forecourt . Auto i10 , filled up at Asda , EML light end of road . I have a Motor bike , bit sorted so a bit hot , Asda petrol it wont even run to get to shell or BP Octane levels are bare minimum , Morrisons are same , driving instructor friend filled up with Morrisons , two days later EML light and he had a test cancelled we cancelled the lights filled up elsewhere , all ok , so not a coincidence we think guy over the road has no choice but to use Morrisons Diesel , L200 he does moon miles , 5 services a year and we change the fuel filter 5 times a year at 9,000 miles , or it goes into limp mode . But he has no choice because of the fuel card Fuel filter is clogged to death . Service customer , a chef , SLK 350 on Asda petrol , pooped its self twice , told him to fuel at Shell , Asda is cheaper , second time rings us , where are you as hed broke down ASDA he goes , cost him injectors and fuel pump as it was full of shit and water . Shell for two years now no problems . Cheap fuel is the cause of lots of dealers headaches , everyone here gets told , DONT use Supermkt petrol its not warranted and we can check . youve been warned i say

BP driver at my local station said same thing , No driver shortage at BP mate . Just pillocks queueing up and buying full tanks . News papers , news , TV , Face book , Online gossip . theyve run out of trash to talk about , brexit is not an issue now , Covids calmed down , Lets invent a Fuel crisis lads . look at that Volcano on Las Palmas , hardly nothing , natural disaster of that magnitude would of been up there on the news at one time , but they cant link it with Global warming , weather patterns , Covid or Brexit , Not even Trumps fault , so lets forget it then .

Cazoo prices have risen above the new levels , probably trying to make a few quid

wait for EML warranty claims on Asda E10 petrol they are coming soon I tell ya , had my car 3 months and its got an EML light on the dash , Go see ASDA then they shit your car up .

Just another way of getting thousands of £7.50's that is Money making genius isnt it , wish i could get away it , even on our levels its a lot of money , but 1,000 's of cars its millions . Not worth the paper its written on ,

If you tax a car in trade to drive on the road , using the green slip you can use the same number again yes . that cancels the tax you put on the car automatically if you cancel the tax YOU put on the car you wont get any refunds of outstanding tax sent back to you as its in the trade . I YOU tax the car on a monthly direct debit and CANCEL the direct debit before the first payment goes out , DVLA will ban you BANK details forever from doing a direct debit again . Taxing the car in trade does not put another keeper on your car .

Like starting out again , isnt it , Find myself looking at we buy car like a new starter . Autotrader figures for retail and the like . have to be armed now days with what px expectations will be in a customers head , wild numbers at present ive had , My cars worth this , haha would be if you had looked after it , its now £400 I'm only selling my car because its worth more money , haha go try sell your A3 120 k shit box yourself then . We buy any car are offering 3k for my car what discount do i get off yours for cash then like they say , Haha buy it at this weeks price not next weeks is my deal

Helps to tax trade cars if you have the last keepers post code to put on the V62 . If you haven't it can take a while ,

Some twat rang me today saying her average fuel consumption on her bloody dash board has gone down 45 mpg . Must have a fuel leak Shes been sat in a bloody queue for 4 HOURS ticking over trying to get some of Asdas shite petrol in it . Did she understand averages NO , Bloody fool Gods sake , when are these boring sods of scammers going take a walk off a short pier

Its because his business is called ""{camper conversions}"" so they don't class that as car or van trading even though he sells vans too as well as campers . Play on words but it works for him , hes done four now

Bang on there , The lower end has issues on a few levels though , I targeted the lower end for 1st time drivers , Gone dead on that score as no tests . price rises have slowed the cheap family cars down as a 2k cheapie is nearer 4k now , big hole on part time wage i would think to fill . then the cheapie owners who have scrap now are looking for 2k for a rust bucket , but prices are up I have been told , Not for your pile they aren't my friend .

100k today alone on finance deals . Put two cars up 2k from 23k to 25 k and sold them in 48 hrs . Cheap stuff is slower though , we have a cheapy dept and its slower than it should be , first timers are not buying due to no tests , well mixed up mess out there

What the public don't realise is they feeding the mkt with expensive cars , and the prices just climb . Guy next to us bought two Transporters , £30k each brand new , We buy gave him £33k and because its trade to trade they will by pass the 6 months owner ship

They have no choice , its that or walk , no one services or fixes anything , just conditioned to change it , when they have a shitter that needs a clutch its got to go , They will get used to it dont worry ,
