Funny story about trotting bids . My daughter is on a car at Brighouse a while back , I'm in the hall standing next to 4 guys , look that's a private girl bidding one says my ears open wide cos he said watch this I'll make her pay over £4k for it , take it 4k and let her ave it , I'm on phone now to daughter telling her the pratts to my right are going to 4k to make you pay . She took them to £3,950 , he went 4k and she shook her head They owned it at £900 over book , Their reaction was world class What , we've got it one says , thought you was trotting her , what the fu## we gonna do with that Go and ask her if she wants it and they did NO she says I was playing you at your game that's all .. Wont do that again . Another one at Brig again , I was on a Disco 3 sometime back now booked at 12k and i was up against a car hugger private and his young horsey daughter . I got the car at under book as my bidding was heaps faster than his , Bang Bang Bang made his head hurt , one hesitation and hammers in my favour His horsey 13/14 yrs daughter went ballistic , talk about spoilt little ########## that's my daddys car , YOU cant have it , we've waited all day for that car .I WANT it for Sat she going mad . We are going to pull my horse trailer , Dad wasn't interested in my offer of £15k to buy it scowled at me as he dragged his brat away kicking and screaming . Oh I won the draw that night too £250 of shopping vouchers Bonus Auctions are so much fun .

Good breakfast but the guy who runs it wow , just try making him laugh We got some half price vouchers and wrote "Marks sausage Addiction Voucher on it " made him grunt but he didn't break the frown Rest of the staff make up for him though and the food is good . Better price than auction

That happened to a guy I know Nick , Cash buyer with his own detail business so didn't want add on's . Went to buy a BMW and they asked him to leave , told him "we don't do business like that " Shock horror .

Looks big enough to get the whole heat gun through Has the patch got 30 day return on it via the CRA cos top left corner looks a little too creased to stand the tension of a wash and wear garment and varying temperatures of a washing machine , also it might just stretch and a stitch could drop causing gross discomfort to the wearer taking into account of the weather variations coming up over the guarantee period of the CRA act eg "6 months " If this was the case is there any compensation for the wearer who may have caught a cold , or experience flu type symptoms which would affect the wearers ability to earn an income . Even though this garment was a free gift I assume the repairer now takes FULL responsibility for any guarantee claims .relating to the garment supplied .

Deep Breathe , puffed out mate after taking breathe to read that Chain , guides and tensioner needs changing is my bet , Didn't you see rust on the PDI ? when it was on a ramp ? Being inspected before sale ? Rusty car must be a high mile car that was cheap ? Needs your details for court action presumably, Wasn't your details on receipt you gave the customer ?

£400 profit , WOW profit is a long dead thought in some traders heads We took £1,200 profit out of a cheap £500 px -

Take the rear number plates off WOW Nick , I'd have to have super glued that back I'm thinking and changed his wheel nut , " joking or am I mmmm " I would never let anyone near our cars with a scanner , seen a cheap one of those spike an ECU once , £850 fix that was . Great deal in the end though , good call .

wife says i should bid , we may get along great she says "apart from leaking at the rear "

Amazing how the customer complains stuff is missing isnt it They are the beggars that NICK stuff in the first place when they swap em . No doubt half of Ebay has it for sale at some point . Had the thieving beggars bring Px's back a week later with tyres swapped for bald ones and such Worst i remember seeing was a complete interior had been changed for one that was knackered , why he wanted 5 days to collect his new car no doubt .Was totally shocked that I'd seen it , denial till I shown him pictures That cost him the PX as I said no deal , Paid the balance too so had no choice but to find the rest and sell his Knacker Himself

Bet they would change their view if we all returned the terminals on same day . Little to no hope I admit , but it might come to the card companies just going to far and thinking we need them more than they need us . We have cut our usage of card deals to over 75% less since it went % based charge system , amounts to 160k / 200k a month down on average Credit cards were first to go , Now ZERO use. Debit cards May Follow soon as only wants a straw and camels back senerio cash and bank transfer for the larger stuff are king . Might even start with Cheques again and collect next week

May lady luck be on your side too. 200k won't last long in this industry . Hope it works out , god knows you've spent too much already eg 7k for insurance is eyewatering as a sole trader , plate fees , bca fees , adverts costs and you haven't got a single car yet . Brave guy I'll give you that All the best

Your thoughts on Ford/Volvo Powershift Gearboxes ?
David Horgan replied to Arfur Dealy's topic in General Dealer Chat
They don't work " simples " not if but when You just have to hope its 6 months plus down the line if your brave enough to retail . We dispose is if taken as PX and the customer gets offered shall we say less than little for them . Retail one , NEVER not ever . -
Had the sweetest old couple in here two years ago . Sat down to buy the car and card was declined , no worries I have another card I'll fetch it " 100 miles away mmmmm " Long story short he did ring and wanted to pay on card and his brother would fetch it as he lived close " suspicious " I said NO but use bank transfer , Told me to F### off and rang off . No answer when i rang back either . Now the same couple did have another traders trousers down as they obviously were doing the rounds scamming cars . He lost two cars , He must of looked easy . Only found it was the same couple later on when he told me he'd lost two cars Moral is DONT TAKE MONEY OVER THE PHONE UNLESS YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE IT . Hard lesson learned there Nick . I don't take credit cards at all "Full Stop" they always find a way to pay you when met with a serious NO to taking any amount on a credit card Love the finance switch ,works too

They only want one because they find out its £300 . If it wasnt pictured then it hasnt got one " simples " PDI sheet , its a used car , hasn't got the same tyres on as when it was new either has it .
