How much and miles Lucas , also what colour and model is it , has it got service history ?, I have numerous people asking for these types of cars . You never know

We will be fine leaving the EU . Whole wide world out there just like before we joined the common mkt . Only reason loads of MP's want to derail the process is they have their wallets filled from EU deals we know nothing about . They are all corrupt and we know nothing . If we get the other dope as PM though just Panic and I mean PANIC Imagine Corbyn and Abbott in charge OMG You will want locks on your wallets then

Simple rule in life of car trading Lucas SELL the cars , BURN Rate , Stock turn , and most important PROFIT First car i bought to sell left for a new home within 5 days Lucas , Get them sold because expenses will consume you very quickly , and i mean bloody fast . You are already behind and it takes some catching up , seen it happen lots of times ,

We can recount stories Dave but lucas ain't Sold a car yet

We have a free car guru with our web site . Fuuking useless would be my thoughts . Before Christmas they called , upgrade for free , ok then lets try it . Fuuking useless would be my thoughts yet again . Made no difference , all sold cars went via Auto Trader . I remember some fool getting in touch via the silly email system saying I'd had this car 4 weeks on sale as it tells you on CG and he could offer £6,000 " It was £8,495 " to prevent me from having to pay interest on the bank overdraft , Cheeky bastard . Bet his ears are still bleeding from my reply "dick head "

Friend of ours went with Next Gear stocking ,but this comment can apply to all stocking plans I would imagine . He said it was a drug and it got him in trouble . A guy from a Finance company also told me its a very dangerous practice too and he saw lots of failures because of it . Its how you manage it that's the secret , too many potentially good guys have gone because it got out of control and left them broke or close to it . The guy above told me he lost direction of everything and had to borrow from the bank to sort it , two years of grief , and a large loan later hes still deep over his head . All the companies put it over very well but the hidden costs are quite high when its looked at in detail I've been told Has its uses i suppose but what happens when interest rates go UP is that going to be profits DOWN time or break even , or god help a loss situation . Is stock funding popular now because of low interest rates and will it change the outlook when rates go North , Whatever you do keep a very tight reign on the finances if choosing borrowed money when rates are low . Cant see it staying this way forever and then the Shite hits the fan . Little and often I was taught , slower but safer and loads more lucrative long term , suited me , but we are all different . Just stay safe and in control would be my thoughts . Trouble is the failures will never be posted on a forum will they , only the good news , but the good news guys are probably very good at remaining cool calm and collected with a 100 k of some one else's money and very good at money management , the failed businesses wont say a word about their experiences , cant blame them mind .

Haha , you know about them too then

Mini cooper S's are great , wonderful little cars Just have to rebuild Engine , Clutches , Gearboxes & turbos or supercharger pulleys on the older ones after that they work for a while

We had a Transit dragged by the AA two years ago , He had been told by the AA guy it was fuel Pump and the cost was £900 , Was the tell tail sign on the dash that diagnosed the problem , NO Diesel Another guy we know had his V8 petrol Land Rover Vouge towed in with a Non Starting problem at Christmas ,Not Starting , Indicators not working , Heated seats , Electric seats , all not working . THE AA twat nearly dismantled it , Under boot floor , Under Bonnet , Under dash , Un plugged every thing , and didn't put it together again , marched in telling my Son what he had to do and what was wrong , and how he had re wired it to try to get it going , Took Three hours to put it back together and all it wanted was a proper sized battery fitting , The AA twats had fitted a much too small battery 1 month previous . Battery fitted and the bloody thing is fine . Only got to watch the AA perform at BCA to know what fools they are

For Gawds sake , settle down and sell some cars my friend before you do anything else , Business is ABOUT SELLING not talking about it . Any fool can talk about it . You haven't found the retail skills to your prospective customer or a sales routine when in front of customer , test drive courses ,and what to say , HOW to CLOSE a DEAL , your niche car types , Phone manner , doubtful your up to speed with the paper work of what to do regarding invoices , valuing px cars , Then you have to keep the flow going . Will take weeks at best possibly months to get it all in place and EVERY customer will be different , Remember the golden rule PROFIT is the key word

That's just made my day I wouldn't have been able to keep a straight face as they towed it away and took him too

Good question Nick I know a girl who works for BCA and she said when online was first launched it was mentioned that its a good idea to add a charge and as it gets used more it will be a billy bonus , " we all fell for it hook line and sinker didn't we " Imagine if we had just £50 extra for our cars it would add up but BCA sell hundreds of thousands online don't they , Millions of £££££££££££££££££ extra since it started

I've never applied Nick maybe i'll stay public

Done that loads and i mean loads of times . Put price up and sold it in a very short time after for the increase price , happy days . Think at £9,990 you might just be missing the 10 k + searchers If I searched 10k to 11k I would not find you would I all for the sake of a tenner Change the screen price too or you may lose out on the increase

I had a dreamer yesterday . Left a £100 deposit at 1.30am direct to our web site . I rang him at 9.30 am and arranged the visit to see car , 217,000 mile vectra px told him its £100 scrap . All agreed then , New car is £8,295 minus £200 deposit and px balance £8,095 Debit card , no need for finance , taking car home with him . Ok I'm on the way down , 140 miles away by the way . Gets to us , looks at new car , test drive and loves it . Gets back and he goes right we just need to negotiate the prices I want £500 for mine , and i only have £7,500 for yours so lets do the paper work shall we NO i say your car is not even going to get home with the smoke its churning out , and we agreed the £8,095 didnt we . All Iv'e got is the £6,900 , NOPE sorry . He's on phone to wife getting a proper ear bashing , anyway result he went home in his old banger , got 40 miles away and broke down " would have been Turbo " , rang me to ask what i was going to do about it , then got his wife on phone asking same question , my fault for not taking the bid she said , Your car , you sort it I said . This morning she rang to ask for the deposit back " she called it a reservation Fee " and help with the towing bill Of her old banger . NOPE , NOPE was the answer so Pond life , Bottom feeders, Dreamers and deception covers those two for sure . Wasted one and half hours of my life .

They post them on Ebay for security its where i found all the parts from one car i bought off them

I've Resisted those machines and even change channel when the advert on TV goes on about boiling water from the tap I'll lose eventually though I think the wife is a Ninja really My Edit Button Works Must be a CRA law to cover edit buttons surely , its discrimination for one to have access and not another , Must be written in EU law somewhere . They have 500 pages on how to pick Lettuces don't they , edit buttons must be more important then Lettuces now days . Contact that duffus in Belgium " Barmy barny " he will fix it

Said they wanted TV's fixable as well they are like phones now , fashion items My wife falls out with kettles before they have finished boiling water , Too noisy , don't pour right , cant fill it properly , wrong colour , handles too short , doesn't balance right , lids too hard to get off ,Boils slow and that's just DEC Silly EU rules yet again that finish up costing us more money in my view

They should look at DIY car self serviced experts actually saw brake pads fitted upside down last week on off side outer pad .

Agreed , No Loan cars here either ,

LOL

I could write a book Dave Your right there have to see the funny side when you get a complete fool in , I have fun with the idiots i must admit , not worth getting stressed over It obviously hasn't been driven very far has it , is my reply

Just had one ask me , How many owners ? Two Keys ? Service history , Will it be serviced before leaving , Does it have a new MOT , Any wear on the leather , Has it got Mats ?. Is the tyre tread above 5mm all round ? , Whats your warranty involve ? Any dents 2 owners , two keys and YES to the questions , No to dents and leather wear He goes oh that's perfect £8,795 screen Well on that basis I'm prepared to travel the 200 miles and I can offer £7,500 . Told him to save up £1,295 and pop down to see us . If you cant quite get to the price we offer finance , Maybe £1,295 deposit and rest over 48 months would suit you better . Told me he will call at end of Jan when I will have to take £7k HAHA . Cant wait for the call

I always add £500 and tell em that's a much better price

God that guy in the cafe is miserable isnt he . Platinum card is supposed to be half price and he tries it on all the time but you half to get a paper slip at reception as well , cant just present the card . We wrote on one slip " Marks sausage voucher Mr cafe didn't see the funny side " If you do that again i might not take it " think you got robbed though
