  1. Been there with BCA too , last one of the day , eml light on when started but not on the report . Bought the thing anyway on last bid . Cam sensor unplugged when we got it in the car park . mmmmmmmmm Hey less of the OLD Umesh " old as you feel they say mmmm be about right then "old"
  2. Packed up with dealer auction , fed of wasting our time , get there and i swear its a different car 80% of the time . Haven't done a deal with them for ages , Sytner auction too is same , Even had one that was described as Scratched , Dented ,Painted on rear bumper badly . EML light on , two tyres less the 3mm , one key , and only two services at 50 k . The car was NOT scratched , not dented , had no paint , eml light not on , all tyres excellent , two keys , full seat history with cam belt too . Fishy Fishy as we got it £900 under book for a Cupra R .Just wanted a wash and hoover , Thinking tagged for someone at a price , inside job wink wink or am i getting cynical ,
  3. Put key in lock . wiggle and turn , drive away
  4. You had nice neighbours Nick wonder why they don't just realise we are all people . Didn't like foreigners and got them to vote leave lol split my coffee reading that , You were a lucky chap to get the cars back though . Some people just cant mind their own noses can they ? reporting your cars for no tax outside your house . sad lives they lead don't they . We had one neighbour like that "reported my lad who was an apprentice then to the council for working on cars in my garage and running a business " was his own car by the way " she got four speeding fines in one day but she took the 6 month ban quite badly and then suffered a driving while banned ticket too and got an extension ban of 18 mths added and a £600 fine , cant imagine where that report was from Justice is served on a sweet plate . One good turn deserves another .
  5. easy that one drive 400 yds , get out walk back , go 400 yds past the first car , get out walk back , go 400 yds past the second car and repeat till you get home . Two cars back , one pair of shoes knackered , But very fit . "Bonus "
  6. Driver gets the fine not the car Your ticket , I'd pay it or you will be on next episode of " cant pay wont pay we'll take it away " arguing with a bailiff at £800 lol
  7. You Need V5 ref number to check anything I would think . Best ring DVLA and ask . They can work off reg number
  8. You got the polite staff Nick at walsall , Worst BCA out there regarding staff , Want to see them in real life, doing doughnuts in any thing tasty , drag starts , max rev from cold , you name it I've seen it there . Even had the yard leader tell one driver to leave the car directly outside the hall exit as I didn't want him flying up the yard flat out after i got the bid .
  9. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Not ever .
  10. Tried a free trial , what a laugh that was Shpock uploaded from Auto trader , got everything wrong ,wow incompetence or what . Just got phone call after call asking if the Range Rover was still for sale at £125 Yep actually missed the 00 off the end . That Renault is a Skoda Yeti LOL we haven't got a yeti Then the losers that rang and emailed were just a waste of time , how fast does it go ? can i test this car at max speed . Will you £50 a week , I've only got £3,000 , 4k motor Do you part ex watches , and the list went on ,on on and Bl##dy on NO THANKS from us .
  11. As Nick has said , you will struggle to find a mainstream finance company to work with till you have been trading for a good while . Not a bad idea either as there's good and bad sides to selling finance , not all roses if not done correctly . I know one guy who's neck deep in trouble with three finance firms , sold cars that have come back to haunt him and he cant buy them back , seized engine , clapped box , ecu faults that shut the car down etc , customer gone back to the finance , finance come to him , he cant pay , trouble in the making , not an easy time for a guess . good aim though when you it all in place , can be lucrative too , I've done four on finance today , 3 prime , one not so but still got a commission on it , all good deals for us with profit in the metal too ,.
  12. Giving two day Credit on the slate Nick , "oh dear" , might have you in for retraining I'm thinking We got two out today and I didn't realise it was 1st of Oct till the invoice popped out the printer .
  13. Thats correct i think Brave man buying online in that range of prices with those vendors . Unless you have a large parts bin . Most of them aren't worth the £50 online extra fee never mind the actual bid and fees .
  14. Confirm my thoughts exactly .
  15. 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 .
  16. Its about time Ford admitted the 1.0 litre engine is shite Should follow on with that god damn awful power shift auto box as well .
  17. 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
  18. 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 .
  19. should be ashamed , if you need add ons to make it pay , time to pack up
  20. Car Guru gives to much info for my liking Price change , Best Price deal, how long in stock , That's private info in my thoughts Wouldn't pay them in bent washers . Just my thoughts
