  1. My money is on a 320d 2.5 /3.0 six pot engines are so much better Useless bloody engines the 118/120 d things
  2. I'm old fashioned Umesh , Just like you Told you that once I reckon , those two out on test drive I told you about on the phone other day, SOLD , that's what counts but you know that , we think alike you and I
  3. I would say after 4 months your going to have to at best contribute to a repair , but that depends on the customers attitude really . Worst case is you pay to fix it or replace engine , but if you replace engine its better to replace chain anyway , expensive choice but you are in control . The other choice is to take the car back at a price that suits you both , fix it and resell with a new lease of life . Again your in control . Let some else fix it and your not in control , but if they stuff the repair it can get nasty all ways round . Either way round I can see you stumping cash up , just got to choose the least expensive way and sell it to her . Moral is , don't ever sell a 2.0 litre BMW again . New VW , Skoda SEAT , Audi TSI chain engines are the same "1.4 , 2.0 litre units ", Hopeless things , plus manifolds at horrendous costs too .
  4. Rubbish platform is Motors . Listen to same old tripe about how views they have every time some new sales person pops in . I go STOP right there , Have you got any evidence of how many actual sales you produce . mmmmmm Cant answer that , Bye
  5. Getting to be a lot of BULL on this thread now . Wonder how much the Brown one is , my freezer is quite empty at present Bit of Angus Beef Is very tasty That's not called MILKING Tom
  6. I'll pass on them Mr Trader look to cheap . The Kia is £2,495 minimum , looking at Autotrader its £2,695 average price . Cheap will not sell cars any quicker on most occasions . It can bring out the customers that cant really afford it , but it appears cheap so will stretch , BUT when it wants a new Bulb they will haunt you because they cant afford ANYTHING for it . Beware of CHEAP customers
  7. Ive got a good one on this subject , write later when more time
  8. If you have the number in your name its the same , mine is like that , can take a while to show on register . Got the FRN number your good to go , happy days , Just need a finance company now to suit your product and get some sales and commission payments in .
  9. If they have sent you an FRN number that's the deal done . Normally ring you if they need information in addition to what you sent . Cant see that being a worry , we never sent one in . Watch out for the sneaky calls just before they do send a number , we had a call can you quote me what i could get for £300 a month , I kept saying I cant and the caller just kept the pressure on asking about finance and not the car which I found weird . Literally 30 mins later after that call we had the number via email .
  10. Nowt wrong with VW as long as you where the spanners are kept Audi , Skoda and SEAT too Now wheres the tool box ?
  11. Looks like you need to prep up on your cleaning skills to me . Presentation presentation presentation . Hoover it , polish it , clean under bonnet , take it somewhere else to picture it , get the whole car in the shot as its the bloody car your selling . Chose a nice day and time , Tyre slick it . People buy with EYES first , nothing wrong with your cars so blame yourself first , not the cars or the tools . If others are selling and your not , then its you that has it wrong , not the cars . Remember people sell to people BUT only if you can get them to visit you , if they don't come its you that has something wrong , not the cars as they sold before you had them . Sorry to be point blank , but that's just me Near me there is a car that a trader bought 3 yrs ago , We have sold 27 of the same model in that time , he still has his ,even now swearing blind they are useless sellers , its his prep , simples . EYES , its a simple lesson so think it through and be your best critic on every part of what you are trying to do .
  12. Looks like your selling a field and caught the car in the picture .
  13. Agree with that comment , total nut case . No money , No intentions , probably cant even drive .
  14. Stocking costs will tie his profits in knots AT bill £1500 liar , more like 3k + then the other site costs on top Buying online at BCA is not cheap at all , Period . Having it all prepped by 3rd party guys + mechanical will eat his profit . Selling cheap doesn't mean a guaranteed sale He's one of the many that fools himself . One fine day he will be gone .
  15. Mondays job then fixing it , didn't want that to happen really did you , Could of been worse it might have been a test drive or a sale car , Least times on your side for a fix
  16. Wow , that,s some loses my friend . Hope you have got back on your old feet from that one .
  17. In the meantime another has just emailed me Umesh from north wales . Z4 Again , Hi how much is delivery to wales LL12 £350 , you pay driver when he gets there as no VAT then . Reply , would you take £350 off the price so I can pay him OMG . October is getting very weird .
  18. He Knew Nick NO doubts , scamming sods aren't they
  19. Just had one woman ring us is the Megan Cup for sale still . " yes " We are weekend cash buyers . " Ok " Are you in a position to take 85 " 85 what " 8 50 , " you mean £8,500 " Yes "Its £9,495 my dear so you want a thousand pound off the price" . Yes " NO " "You want more than we do out of it " But your getting £8,500, what more do want out of it " She says " Customers this week are all on drugs I reckon , had the most dopey requests ever Number 2 I like your Z4 , Its a px 04 plate . Customer request , Can you send me a price to have my sat nav and canton sound system took out of my dads car and put into the Z4 , I will send you my post code so you can arrange to remove the unit from dads car ,also I think the speakers need updating so can you arrange the purchase of 2nd hand ones from ebay as I'm short of cash till pay day . When your man is here to remove Sat Nav i will send you £500 deposit back with him . Then collect on 14th Nov . Its a 14 yr old Z4 , his dad has a 15 plate Octavia , and he is 200 miles away . The resounding reply sent back was " NO " what a plonker Some funny people out there reading what every one else has had Number 3 Email this morning Hi we bought a fiesta off you Thursday . "ok " It catches when going over speed bumps . Reply SLOW DOWN THEN . Email back , Thanks for the advice , its a lovely car by the way . Totally Bloody NUTS they are Number 4 Young woman comes in for MOT yesterday Aygo ,, takes it for her this morning , failed on de laminated tyres on both rears . Hi Marie its failed on tyres , both rear ones , £40 + Vat fitted each , oh have you got any you can lend me , er no . Suppose I can stay in this weekend if its totally necessary " There Fecking tyres and its winter " ffs girl get a grip . Waiting for one more customer and I'm off , out for dinner
  20. Part Time selling cars , Never work . Every one makes the mistake of selling car and earn £500 x it by 8 = 4k suppose you will sell that 8 is every month = 48k a year , Simples Reality is so far from that , believe me , finding stock, fetching stock , prepping stock , dealing with the non sellers as there will be some , waiting for customers , down time time with faults , expenses , VAT , wages , parts , fuel , cleaning products , bills from fixing , tyres . MOT tests , warranty costs , and the list goes on . 12 cars selling part time wont work . Not a matter of getting a £40 day jobber a mate to sort any faults and sell car. More to it than you think my friend . But if you have spare 50/60k kicking around you wont miss go for it , bet you will remember it for a while to come . BUT , nothing ventured , nothing gained , hope it all goes well whatever you choose .
  21. Agree with you there , Not a hope in Hell , going to lose one sooner or later inc plates too . Or get it smashed up , dented and walk away to leave it to the trader .
  22. Blue Motor Finance are excellent prime to subprime in one company , fast decisions Same day payout and pay commission with the payout " not next month "
  23. Ebay auction , some looney will scoop that up for daft money , thinking investment To buy, I'd have offered £150 px
  24. wiggle wiggle You would say that mmmmm excuses excuses
