  1. Load of Bollocks either way I reckon , don't you Just proves the youngsters don't use Cazana Aygo granny surfers affecting the results on Cazana
  2. Best place , let some private buy it I had a car like that once , put it to the block and went and hugged it when it was about to go thru bid on my own car against a private and took it over CAP Clean by £300 and it was knackered . Lots of fun as I reckon I earned £700 extra .
  3. All Part of the web site DMS here
  4. VW , Skoda does the same on lots of dashes Button ,but no phone connection , its an extra . I always tell them its available to buy from main dealer , as its nearly always not fitted . . If its not on your advert , its not yours to fit Simples
  5. Working here too Nik . Just got Close Brothers Commission Cheque today for Nov , made me smile . Did Three on Moto Novo on self prop , so that will be near One with a Broker for a slightly subby deal but still got £200 out of it . Two on Blue and they pay straight away . see what Dec brings , We don't usually do much Finance in Dec for some reason , Jan goes nuts though , Here's hoping Takes a while Mark to learn how to swap the customer to Finance then get them through , remember its a 120% of CAP Retail so adjust the deposit to max the commissions . Sometime the customer is better off giving £200 dep and not the £1,500 they enquired about When you do the first deals though the extra commission makes you grin .
  6. Thrashing the Austin 1100 was my favourite followed by Shhh don't mention the Germans Don't make them like that anymore do they Think it was a rhetorical question Lucas we knew the answer really
  7. Where from ? and wheres it gone , I know I had it somewhere
  8. Its a pocket change car with a TWO pocket profit cant lose
  9. 1.39 this Monday you announce you just discovered you couldnt drive a manual car because you had an auto licence. Today you passed the manual test . When was the theory test taken then ? .
  10. The very word charity makes me shudder Knew some one years ago doing that , lived in two houses , Cotswold Manor with 9 acre of grounds and Jersey next to the sea with two acres , say NO more . I give NOTHING
  11. Nice profit Tony ,Makes you smile when that sort of deal comes off doesn't it , when I do that sort of deal this lot round me say I've got my highway robbers hat on again
  12. You know the car I've always wanted Nick , " An Austin 7 saloon about 1930's " don't know why , just always wanted one . Terrible things to drive , slow as snails but one day I'll buy one just for the kick of it . Shouldn't be on about that as i'll go hunting one down now , Wife will go whats that thing out there .
  13. Took a C30 as px on CAT d two years ago . Sold it easy enough but they do attract dozy billys who haven't a clue what cat d means , its just people thinking oh that's cheap . I avoid them as much as possible
  14. One in my garage Nick bought it 5 yrs ago for 3 k H reg , we have its cousin too but that's a track car with AST suspension , Mi16 engine with twin weber carbs conversion hunts M3's on track . SHHHHHHHH don't tell my wife you can get ride on mowers , can't have her sitting down on the job
  15. My wife loves OUR lawn mower , I cant start it LOL so I've never used it . I love deals like that Tony , the MX5 engine was designed for a turbo and respond very well when fitted , If had took that it would have done a few laps of the circuit at Cadwell
  16. I have the XFR 5.0 litre supercharged , both rear boxes have smaller items fitted and my son has changed the pulleys on the supercharger with a remap to 610bhp sounds like a spitfire when it takes off , As you say getting attached is hard but I love this thing to bits . Smile all the past anything on the road Looking at the F type 5.0 next i reckon , sod the 3 extra seats LOL Other toy is a Suzuki Hyabusa , Tweaked to 200 bhp with GP pipe on it , now that bad ass rearranges your internal organs , only went to the bike shop for a can of oil and came out with the bike , awesome thing to ride .
  17. I tell em bid accepted come and fetch it . When they get here its sold , Mate at that price my wife bought it LOL your to late .
  18. 90% of the buyers for that type of car don't look at service history here , I just go there's your pack ,Here's the Service invoice from us , two keys , MOT and your purchase invoice , they leave and its never serviced ever again . One or two might ask , but not many , not like selling performance stuff as they are totally different mind set of people . Iv'e sold that age at £2,700 easy with 70k on the clock so depends where you are , I would try £2395 at 85 and no service . Used to trade no service history little choppers on , but service and sell em now . Still walk out
  19. He's got to pass the fecking test yet more paper required soon
  20. Hi Rovex , Starting with a Nissan Leaf , weird choices in my oldstyle pattern of thoughts , Post up from this one that says get 4 Micra's instead , " great advice in my mind " look around when your out and about " see any Leafs running about ?" No, thought not , Slow sellers then would be my first port of thought . But I don't knock the trier in you Rovex so good luck with the venture and I hope it all goes well , least you wont have a petrol bill each month
  21. House hunting , Video sales , DVD sales /rentals and now he chooses USED Car sales mmmmm and finance sales Rentals/New sales may work with this type of platform but even that has competition doesn't it . Used Sales , How used ? 1 month exec models or 7 year old used cars with 70k on the clock? . I've just had two customers in to look at two different Cars so I shown both this Post , They both Laughed at the prospect of buying online without seeing the car . Both customers are looking at different price range cars , 1 Looking at £8,495----- 2nd one looking at £3795 both said they would want to see the cars first and they don't see how that can change , because they have both seen junk for sale on their searches . Both guys were mid 20's too so not the old fashioned groups . looks like another interference in the job till its goes belly up like the rest of the trials that we've seen come and go . Wonder if they think you just pick the phone up and order used cars from wholesaler then resell them Best of luck I reckon
  22. we didn't take this in But it went like this and its a while ago 1984 to be precise . Chap has a Suzuki GSX 550es its a year old with 1500 miles , wants to px it for a Yamaha FJ 1100 " told you it was a while ago " Gets the part ex figure and then takes the bike to his mates and they strip it , mates got same model but was a courier so had 95,000 + miles . They took every part and swapped it except the frame and block , Gear box ,Clutch , Head with cams ,Crank , pistons wheels , forks , swing arm , sprockets , chain, tank footpegs the whole shabang changed , it rode like the bag of spanners it was . Couriers bike was like new ,. Later that month I saw the bike , and some one I knew had bought it , he hated the thing saying these F######g 550's are f#cking useless . I never told him as I knew all concerned , even to this very day he Hates Suzuki with a passion , wont touch them .
  23. Jealous green eyed monsters , they cant afford ONE car never mind 10 cars , only thing they can do is multiply the retail prices on your web site and then get angry isnt it , One of our relatives asked us for £5,000 loan once , when I said no , He stated I could afford it because I had over 100k invested in cars so whats 5 k , wonder he didn't get punched . Live and let live I reckon . Always one though .
