    Sorry for another type of how's everyone doing this month post but enquiries have just dried up, been checking prices and making sure things are ok on the website etc but just complete lack of calls, emails and Ebay questions etc............on the plus side buying has been a bit easier than normal.

    That'll work wonders for the friendly car dealer image :lol:

    What went wrong last time?

    I have certain cars here and I think "little old lady will have that" "1st driver" "maybe someone looking to lug stuff around" ... I'm very very rarely right so I've stopped guessing. I just like easy-going customers that aren't entitled picky arseholes.

    I do this and then the opposite happens........ I know eff all!

    I too hate the picky ones with ideas way above their budgets!

    I've got broad enough shoulders even if you were being mean Grant. If I've bought it and dropped a bollock then the buck stops with me. It's a fine line sometimes on what you take a punt on and what you shouldn't......... I saw the pound signs and perhaps didn't think beyond that (still a decent enough car though in fairness to it).

    Not wishing to s**t on your post but i'm a firm believer that what you stock determines what kind of people you attract. 150K 'I can't afford better' complicated SUV = hassle. I'm not saying it's a fault with the car but more the punter. 

    I'm not deliberately trying to be a c**t btw, celebrated my birthday today with two refunds and three warranty claims, we all get 'em

     

     

    I agree to a point but it was a decent price to buy hence me taking a punt on it. Drives fine in fairness, 1 owner car with all the history plus belt change etc. You ar3 right though as one with half the miles is probably 3 grand more but the types of people these are don't want to spend that of course. 

    Oh and happy birthday!

    Please see below the list of alleged faults which the customer has now come back with plus the usual threats of court and ts blah blah blah, car had mot carried out before sale and has come back approx 7 weeks after purchase with this information.
