    I wouldn't want it back and I'd be keeping my fingers crossed for 6 months.

    Tbh at this stage I wouldn’t be concerned about the 6 month period. Without alerting customers as to why, on any comebacks I had I asked them to confirm their full list of grievances/issues and (just as important) to also confirm there are no other problems BEFORE I authorise any work.

    After that point if any new issues arise you immediately dismiss them as they are clearly the owner’s responsibility.

    Sorry but my take on this is you seem to be keen negotiating with someone who hasn’t even bought a car from you. I’d be getting it from the horses mouth. Legally you shouldn’t be discussing it with anyone other than the buyer unless you have their permission. I’ve had experience of a couple of smart arse car expert partners thinking they are calling the shots. Just saying…….

    As for getting the car back under false pretences & planning on withholding the recovery cost WITHOUT advising them in advance - really?

    Time to get a grip on the situation (and that does NOT involve playing email ping pong with some fucker who’s bought f.a.)

    I’m wondering why he’s dealing with a third party - some bloke on email when he’s sold it to a woman.

    I’d politely answer back along the lines of saying I cannot deal with third parties therefore please ask the purchaser to contact us directly. I respectfully advise you that no further correspondence with you will be entered into.

    I thought maybe I’d missed a trick. But a crusty 18yr old diesel focus estate! £1,000 at the hammer plus fees? It was sold at £500? There were at least two bidders who thought it was a bargain?

    Yikes! :wacko:

    Yep, sounds like a knacker for the scrap man.

    Last Wednesday. V low mileage N reg (yes N reg) wait for it ....................Kia Sportage! Last MOT looked pretty tragic to me.....£1425 on the hammer so there’ll be another £300+ of fees before they even look at it. They must know something I don’t :wacko:

    We are also struggling with headlamps, ended up getting a set for a Q5 from Audi, we ordered them with euro’s but after about a week they canceled the order as they couldn't get the pattern ones. The bonkers thing was the new ones from Audi were cheaper than 2nd hand ones on eBay. It really is strange times!!  

     

    I think them breakers on eBay are bonkers. Selling shagged out old parts & trying for strong money. I recently had a Vito that needed a few trim & interior parts - I’m not joking, fucking Mercedes-Benz were cheaper.
     

    The new parts sellers are worse. I’m on with the third arsehole trying for a door lock barrel - I don’t think all these Chinese sellers know their right from their left. I also bought a new handle for something - it broke on the first pull :lol:.

    A customer of mine arrived in a 10yr old RR & bought a Caddy van. I asked him what his was like for bills. He shrugged his shoulders & said anyone buying one should know what they’re getting themselves into so should expect it! Refreshingly realistic I thought.

    Thanks highline . Has actually come as a surprise for me how much they offer. If they are giving close to cap average for each car , surely they can’t be making much after all their costs . Maybe they’re branches are going through a shi*t ton of cars, they never look too busy to me .

    1. They are doing the numbers.

    2. If the car isn’t almost perfect they will chip the price. How much (or little) depends upon how desirable the car is. As an example I’ve been told having just one key is an automatic £150 deduction (try that game on a punter p/xing :lol:).

    3. Anyone who has access to online auctions will see sales prices - a few nice models making thousands into book soon tally up.

    if only it was this easy.

    :lol: :lol:

    The car CAPs clean at £2600 & thought an offer of £1200 would be competitive. Fuck me, I had to read it twice cos I thought I’d misunderstood something.
