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

Indoor lawn , Now that's posh , we still got painted floors here

Guy in the gym opposite us had an A5 coupe that had everything wrong with it , Headlight problems , Emissions problems , Turbo screaming its nuts off , EGR Blocked , Brakes shuddering ,EML Light on , Hand Brake working when it thought about it , Heated seats not working , Air con pump expired , and the list went on and on . I sent him to WBAC and they offered £6,200 which was CAP Clean Then I told him to go to Evans Halshaw after , They gave him £7,100 and never even sat in it ,All Dash lights taped over from the outside of the speedo glass Saw it listed in Notts BCA UK Car group sale and watched it Sell at £7,400 on the hammer online Hall bid at £7,300 . The whole process doesn't make sense except the total numbers involved . The public using this sell my car approach are just inflating the retail pricing in the end aren't they Needed 1k repairs in our thinking . I don't know what they do with them when they've bought scrap like that at CAP + £1,200 + Fees with faults . Still Andy was happy and he bought our car off us and gave me £200 in my hand for sorting him extra cash for his car

Used to send cars to Cyprus , Toyota Avensis was the best one , cheap as chips here , loads of em available and fetched huge money over there , but dried up now though , the guy who organised it for me was a chef over there . All goods things end at some point don't they

Make invoice and address with his name on it , Proof of sale and the address he gave you was wrong wasn't it If it comes back you can prove you were somewhere else cant you .

Oh yes , we go green laning loads of times , goes places it really shouldn't be possible , very competent little tool as well . Loads of fun off road , but on tarmac omg its painful Got a discofender as well , early disco with a defender pick up tub welded on the back , very highly modified and that goes literally anywhere a person dare drive it .

I bought a Y reg jimmy one owner car at 19,000 miles 3 yrs ago in a local night auction near us when i was trotting px car prices when this little thing came in , £950 on the hammer . Its got bigger wheels , different suspension, different diff now . Stripped it clean underneath and repainted it like new . Family pet for winter use now , they will go anywhere . Fun little things off road , DRY Tarmac and its bloody dreadful Good buy for the snow though

Your dad was right too , Just they taint the whole trade don't they . The buying public treat all the same when they have been burned . Even seen this guy on dodgy traders TV coming out of court with a £20k fine and still trades . No VAT , NO tax either I bet , Shouldn't be allowed in the Auction Grounds in my opinion .

Pub Car Park and a New SIM card " its cheaper " Someone we know of does this and he actually gets people to buy too " unbelievable " actually throws the sim card away every week and the warranty is by his own words "3secs down the road " See him at BCA where hes on a black card " free food , low fee's , and 500 cars a year " even sells them in BCA car park and they still buy em .

Wow that's scary stuff indeed. Credit to those guys who do that . More nerve than me . Actually made me feel dizzy watching him go from one ladder to another , but the end when they stand on the top is proper scary stuff at any height but 1,700 ft WOW .

Sold anything for a profit yet Lucas ?

That's very wise advice from AD above Kelly . Pay them back exactly as they paid you , and get it all signed for as you may need it when matey boy has finished his porridge and comes looking for the car cos his wife / partner has legged it to Spain

Its the way of the world of online selling now though isn't it , We've had a cheap PX Focus at £1,895 and the customer turned up from over 100 miles away for it, 94k on the clock too , must have been one of those near him somewhere surely , Wasn't special 1.6 Zetec in blue , Nothing as queer as the customers choices sometimes .

Got a guy who sells our px rubbish on face book and that is working for him , nothing to do with me though , the stuff they buy on there is AMAZING , Filthy , not working rubbish sells on facebook and the dopes think they have a bargain . Heard him on the phone and he's just point blank rude to the buyer , get down ere now an u can ave it mate , but dunt mess mi abowt or u cn piss off , they actually go to see him after that torade of abuse as well and buy the scrapper Spock is useless zero sales Very amateur approach they have , Playing at trying to hopeless and achieving it . AA useless , zero sales , just hopeless Gumtree useless , zero sales , needs to be CHEAP on there Car gurus had me upgrade free over Dec /Jan " useless " zero sales but I HATE their approach to telling all to everyone . Dec /Jan Autotrader sold 48 cars + 3 today . Cant see any point in paying to advertise TWICE on different sites . So Now its Web site sales via Google search and AT only + any local lookers who walk in and previous buyers . AT is expensive , you have to know your mkt to use them effectively I think , But it works for us . If it didn't I would look at something else .
