My god they actually do it with houses too

We got a great dent man £10 a car and hes a wizz . Just calls every Fri for £30/£50 he says its easy money . Got one of those glue guns , works on some dents but its in a box somewhere consigned to the never see again things you collect along the way in life .

What works in one life will not work in another , thats life and always will be . Aufur I adore your work ethics I really do , but it wouldn't work for us as we are open 7 days to the public to wander and I have sold 4 today to just that method . They saw us on AT and wandered in . All 4 bought . Nick has a similar approach but from home and it works , I can see why as its free and easy for the customer with Nick being very flexible in his approach to customer service . I am just a another approach were I do all 3 methods , Deposit is taken on 40% of my sales , Tel appointments to see when they can come without deposits are also in my methods , Wander in and catch me unawares is also very acceptable , I'm way infront of the customers in the prep stages . So it works for our Lifestyles . My turn round is 18 days while holding 35 stock from 25k to 3k , so that's the reason for my approach , Finance is supplied and heavily marketed for more customer capture and the commissions too , Bolt ons are heavily marketed too , detail polishing , paint coatings , warranties , Service Packages to name a few . Top and bottom what i do doesn't suit you , what you do wont work for me and what we all do wont suit Nick . But you know what we all make money , have a life , and we love it . Be happy , stay friends , have fun , but best of all were all good at what we do . Have a great week ahead , make money , and best of all laugh while we do it .

To MARK101 really . Not quite pretty woman but similar I remember a main MERC dealer near us , my dad had ordered a C class new merc and wanted me to pop in to make sure the spec was correct . It was a Sunday morning and i was helping out my brother at the Mushroom Farm he had , I had wellies on and Bleached trousers when I called in the showroom . This little guy looked at me then put his head down and ignored me so I pondered about for 10 min till this young girl came in to try her high end suitcases in a SLK boot she had ordered . This sales guy shot past me like he was on fire to help said model with very short skirt put her cases in the sports car . She was happy they fit and left when he wandered past me and sat down . So i pulled a chair from another sales desk and went and sat next to him with folded arms , he looked at me and said need help . To which i replied YEP sure do . i no I'm not as good looking as that young girl but I could buy her out 11 times over , so as i no longer LIKE YOU I've popped in to Cancel my dads car . OH SORRY Sir , TOO LATE Pal , I re ordered from another Merc Dealer . He had watched me get out of a 6 Series BMW 650i I could have been a prospective customer but he didn't like my wellies and my bleach trousers they closed soon after " wonder why "

Come on Lucas . SELL SELL SELL , I've done 4 today , 5 if the finance would have gone through on another one . 6 if the guy didn't want more than £1,000 more for his PX than it was worth retail You must have had customers to look at something you have for sale ? surely

Is that cos your Bulgarian Nick . Iv'e had a few from your country buy cars from me . They seem to know what they want and when they want it . Pay up and become service customers afterwards too , Lovely people .A couple came in last night to book service and MOT for next week , Came over like long lost friends . Better send me in for your Merc if your that easy, I will shred him for a deal

That's so sad to ask isn't it can I have a selfie with this car Remember a BMW 6 series Alpina two years ago and a doctor rang asking if he could have it Fri over the weekend to test drive it and return it Mon , had his daughter with him and when I said no she chirps up so what are you taking me to the PROM in now then Don't you just love em

That will be the oil rings , they get gummed up and remain closed , hence the oil burning smoke after idling . Walnut blasting is a waste as you have to remove the head for the rings , so parts washer sorts that job , lap the valves back in , new gaskets and bingo its all ok till next time . The two dirty plugs diagnose that too . Carbon build up in those engines is because they run super hot . By the way they have Chains not belts as well . Chains stretch and while its in pieces you would be mad not to fit a new one , + tensioner Minis do need experience nowdays little buggars

Sounds like a day out for lunch and a test drive in a fancy S4 V8 Nick . Give them a ring and find out would be my opinion. Then go and complete your other business

Imagine the car park FULL of Bangernomics at that resort .

£164 a pair , if you have one set just apply , might have to pay 6 month fee and then renew in Dec for Jan 1 2020 as that's when their year starts .. Only thing you get free is the motorcycle trade plate in the same number as the Car plate you get . Has to applied for when you get a new plate cos if you want one after you have to surrender plates and apply again .

It has to be in your name , see why really cant you if you think about it . came to me and asked out the blue to sell a car not in your name and i'd ask all sorts of questions before I'd pay money out . At that point you'd get asked to leave as its to much risk . WBAC are the same , keep it simple is their thinking , I actually think it has to be in your name for around 6 months too if I'm not mistaken to stop the register in a name and chuck crap at them .

I can see that working pal i really can , but they have the opportunity to just walk on site here so wouldn't work quite the same unfortunately.

I've had that situation too , Are you not happy taking profit from the car I'm buying , its immoral to expect two profit.

I am good natured really , but seethingly hard too , Some people i can see whats coming " as we all can " so play it along ,as long as I am not wasting my time with him , All the torch and carpet play was on his own bless him as I walk off . But bring me those sorts of numbers and then the hard ball comes out , just for fun

Haha I had to explain that theory to a guy who offered £1,500 less for a Honda type S a few weeks back He didn't understand the concept of PROFIT and was thinking the whole £7,995 was money to play with saying I still had £6,495 so whats the problem . No idea where his wages actually came from

I know this is a topic that we all know about but these valuation sites are just taking the proverbial Had a guy look at a car 4 times over two weeks , Carpet out , torch out , check list out , counted the keys , measured the tyre tread , rubbed the wiper rubbers, , checked all the lights , air con , washers , horn , interior lights and more . Left 4 times and was the hardest guy to talk to I've ever met . Today he's back with a Parkers valuation print out " here we go I thought Cus ;Love the car , best I've seen out of 9 , can I drive it ? ME ; Looks like you have some Parkers info first i says , How you funding it and any part ex involved I says ? Cus ; well we all have to do our homework don't we , I've got an offer for your car from Parkers independent dealer guide +30% for low mileage= £4,836 " Its £5,895 screen " and Iv'e got my car that I want to sell you too . His car is a 04 plate 200k Golf that needs a new Box . He wants £1,000 for his Golf leaving a £3,836 fig to change , all written out on paper and hands it to me Couldn't get why I said no in 3 milli seconds , Couldn't get why I said no to the test drive either after the discussion we had about Parkers , and valuing cars , told me he wouldn't budge on his valuations . I told him £5,895 minus £145 scrap which I thought was generous Funny thing is I've just sold it for £5,895 literally an hour later , So hope he rings back If only they had a brain cell . Got no idea whats involved finding cars they like , Have double standards when buying and selling , Had another this morning wants to px a polo that's very poorly , wanted £2,000 for it 08 98,000 miles no history knocking like a steam hammer . I'll sell it private he says and not let them start it till I've got the money , shouldn't of let you start it should I he goes

Think online is planned for 2029 , Slow as the DVLA are , saying that we had our conformation in Dec

Mine dont work either . unless we are both banned

Go for his throat pal , give him back what he gave you and keep it up . He deserves a few sleepless nights . Hope he loses his so called position. Well done with the result too , hope you earn a few £££ now too . Sorry about your dad too .

Standard quote now with a lot of people , Saves work , paper & time I think

Nissan quoted lack of appetite for diesel in the EU as the reason for the Xtrail going to Japan . Not Brexit . The papers and TV quoted Brexit , Lying beggars Its not selling anymore is it , that's why its going home , two more models are going to be made in the UK instead now . Suppose they chose not to mention that though . Propaganda all the way through , TV & Papers can't lay straight in bed

Was a 2.2 litre AUTO surprised me too , worth looking up if you see one to buy or PX comes in

Had a Freelander Auto that fell into the High tax bracket £515 then it was . Had it for ages till I put WE TAX CARS FOR 6 MONTHS FOR Customers all over the advert , One guy went for it Phew , He rang back 6 months later saying it was £515 " Budget was the reply " Bloody government
