  1. I've got a 1.8 that needs a pcv but it does have 120 on the clock.. tick tock.
  2. They're just crap.. ecu problems, seat clips, gloveboxes, head gasket, timing chains need replacing, subframes, they go through droplinks for the fun of it.
  3. Corsa's are dire.. we do a minor service on every car that goes out, including corsa's... I've had some 1.0 Corsa engines go pop after 30 days but not much that can be helped about that.
  4. Bought two from Pendragon this week.. both got docs (one had no service history but found it stashed under the seat), I try not to buy from Pendragon, absolute crap a lot of the time.
  5. Crap. Done 4 or 5, usually on at least 15 by now. Absolutely terrible, just made enough to keep the lights on and on top of that had an accident in the recovery truck the other day run into the back of an older chap who pulled out on me and then slammed on for no reason whatsoever.. his excuse "I'm not familiar with an auto and pressed the wrong pedal"..
  6. Do you not have a family to spend time with on a Sunday night mate? I think we all get the point and you're just going on and on.. She shouldn't of parked there.. lesson learned, fingers burned.. move on.
  7. Shock horror they never set me up in time, maybe it was a sign that it wouldn't of been a good idea to bid online for sold as seen stuff with no condition reports..
  8. Good evening guys I normally attend auctions and buy in person, I buy bread and butter stock up to £3K and there is a few I would like to bid on at BCA Derby tomorrow morning and I am 2 hours away unable to attend. The vendors are Trade centre no reserve and Bristol Street Motors. Do you think if I phone BCA in the morning they will be able to set me up with a online account sharpish so I can bid at 9:55 AM? Any help is appreciated Cheers
  9. From auction, I'm not going to go dishing out "trade secrets" and their is no get rich quick scheme it is just about buying the right shit and making it look good.
  10. £400 net on a car that would have cost £3400 less fees.. wow. We make £400 on £1K cars and they fly out.
  11. Yep debit.. their bank Santander entertained the claim but ultimately decided not to defend the claim any further after our correspondence.
  12. We recently had a case on a PX being sold as spares or repairs due to a knocking noise, customer accepted this and after viewing went away to think about it.. they sent via text message "thanks for showing us the car blah blah, we were concerned about the knocking noise would you accept £XXX so we can get the noise investigated".. 2 weeks after they purchased the car for £525 via debit card over the phone we received a charge back letter in the post, the reason was that the car was misdescribed and not fit for purpose. We gathered our evidence and replied one week later. After a couple of weeks had gone by we won the chargeback case as that single line text message saved our beef massively! It's not impossible to win these cases although not all cases are as clear cut as mine. Absolutely, if we didn't take card we definitely would have lost a few ££££ in deals over time. I don't think they have a stocking loan.. more like a professional individual that provides "unsecured" loans.
  13. I sell cars up to £3K and take full balances on credit and debit cards. There is a dealer around the corner from me who sells both lower end stock and prestige cars upto £150K they also take credit and debit cards on everything and anything.
  14. We pay £130 for 10 cars, during the trial month we sold one substantial car and one cheapie so signed up for 6 Months. Sphock Motors approached us and offered 20 cars for £80 on a 12 Month contract and he assured us we would sell LOADS!! I then asked around and everyone said it was garbage so I never bothered.
  15. Benji.. do you ever go BCA Preston? We buy similar stock and I think you might have a chance still.. If you ever want some guidance in person just drop me a message. Cheers
  16. Sounds like a troll or you're genuinely stupid.. invest it all into Bitcoins, it's safer.
  17. We use high style £20 a bottle works well and long lasting shine.
  18. I like the 1.6 Petrol zafs.. anything above that incl 1.8 Petrol is bad news. Stick to what you know and all that.
  19. I would tell them to mind their own, be civil but if they're watching customers when arriving that's just weird and you should have a little chat with them. Believe it or not I have the same problem with a neighbouring business at my premise, they're nosey parkers and think no one can see them starring out of the window. You will get this everywhere you go
  20. If they don't give you your goods by Tuesday, I'd seriously consider getting some scally's to recover them for you..
  21. Have him return it at his cost to your self - it should say this on your invoice, worded differently obviously. Do not bend over backwards for him, playing MR nice guy in situations like this does not work, please for the love of god do not seek a "specialist" local to him and have them repair this old lump.
