Dealer

Big balls on you fella, stuff like that i call them either "shitters" or "rats" .........i give them to the local banger dealer to "rat 'em out" Don't want any association with the forecourt whatsoever as these punters that come back thinking that they have bought a new car do my nut in!

Pissed'n'sheds......... Who the fark would have even advertised with that outfit!

2 today and 1 yesterday, who turned the tap back on? Probably die a death tomorrow onwards knowing my luck at the moment.

Does it have the "mondeo rattle"

2009 Mazda 6 sport diesel, owner was in panic mode after the new mot regs came out this year as she'd had the dpf mapped out......... Gave her 200 quid........ Sold next day......... £2000.

Definitely correct grade oil, I'll be looking for pieces in the strainer don't worry. Between this and a snapped chain on a 118d last month I'm going to give them a wide berth in future

Thanks James, doesn't appear to be a pattern i.e hard driving etc, will get sump off tomorrow first.

Got a 2009 with just 70k that throws the oil light (red) on now and again. Dropped oil and filter but not done any good. No codes stored either. Stumped so far but hoping someone here may be able to help.

Love the username!

I had a call from autoraper rep saying it's now live and as we feed via our website and have to tick the boxes to go to various channels eg eBay, motors etc we upped the auto trader ticks from our standard 23 as we don't put all our stock on there.

Yes went live yesterday late afternoon

Same here, October dire, start of November was ok but last 2 weeks may as well have gone on holidays (if i could have afforded to that is). Blame black Friday, cyber Monday and all the other retailer bullshit hype that's all over the media etc

Point of deposit Nick, goes on the monthly day by day planner as a sale. Pick up may well be the following month but i have always done it this way

+2

It's not often you get much from AT so try and utilise it to full effect. 23 plus 4 cheapy slots for us normally so the extra "free" ads certainly help at what is a difficult time of the year.

Same James, 2 last week amd had to give one away as well just to get some coins in!

James, with 23k per month overheads i know what i need per week to make ends meet hence my post. If you run your enterprise a different way then good luck to you but I know what I need to cover the bases.

Glad AD resurrected this thread, we too have had a really bad week...... Just 1. No enquiries at all, with the overheads we have it'll be a definite loss for the week.

First companies we use due to the healthy commissions are: Blue, Close, Motonovo Second tier if credit is a little iffy and the above have declined First Response Third tier when we are really struggling and all the above have turned their noses up then it's sent to Advantage, Mallard, Zuto, Cf247 and anyone else who we think we may have a remote chance with!

I've had times when the "enquiry from Autotrader" call whisper kicks in on answering the phone only for it to be "Connor O'Reilly" from handler protect on the other end. Frustrating to say the least.

Not far from me this fella, been going for a long time but went bust sometime after he was made famous by the bbc

I effing hate them all

42 very soon, kids 15, 11 and 5! I'd love to be able to take 4 or 5 holidays a year but with term times and kids in comp it's a no go.
