  1. Same here, very poor this week and last. Crossing my pubes that things change sharpish!
  2. I do exactly this, love enquiries on the due in stock soon stuff.
  3. 45 to 50p per mile driven plus fuel is a normal price. I stopped using movex years ago as its just become one big rip off. I can ask a network of drivers i use and let you know if any of them can help James.
  4. Love baffling them with 7% flat. 500 notes for you there my friend!
  5. https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/jump-start-4000/?da=1&TC=GS-010311030&gclid=Cj0KCQjwuuHdBRCvARIsAELQRQFVSkYwQ2zC7k8MJae-fmalAGB4FRaZ6IwH7isUtM4G5Omy6QQKVZMaAnx3EALw_wcB On my second one of these (first one got left in a sold vehicle which went hundreds of miles away), never fails to start anything and the reason i bought the exact same model was due to the fact that i was so impressed by the original one. Heavy to carry but works every time.
  6. I tried pissed n sheds once and it was the worse channel I've ever paid for!
  7. You will retail these posh cars that come with big bills!
  8. £5790 car in stock, ebay sound notification a short time ago..........will you take 5k cash. Yawn! Fed up of messers and the best price brigade. As i wrote the last message another eBay notification, £2990 car........... The message said........ "2k".........yes that was it, just 2 characters. Unbelievable
  9. Seen the state of some of the drivers at these auction centres, they're hardly "mensa" candidates are they.
  10. 2 yesterday, was going to be 3 but had a completely unrealistic customer on a 7 year old car with 109k on it asking stupid questions from the start. End of September was really good, last week went some way to saving it for us as before that it was dire.
  11. I say this often.......... "they are all punts"
  12. Absolute fucktards, hate these types of people.
  13. But James, in their eyes they've bought a "new" car. I can see why the above scenarios on cars that are between 9 and 14 years old can be classed as normal wearable items, who knows when a coil pack will go down, the oil leak one is possibly something i would be happy to look at as it's a very short time after purchase. I think it's also perhaps different for me and you as we have no mechanics facilities on site and have to send everything out, this costs! For guys here who have a mechanic/odd job man or facilities on site then that person's wages are being paid anyway so perhaps they look at it differently.
  14. James/Simon i am of exactly the same opinion as yourselves. I know the car was right going out so how can i be responsible for any maintenance costs thereafter. I have sold cars in the past to persons that i known have ragged the arses off them once bought, i just wish that the law surrounding this game was clear and not as grey as it is. Makes things so difficult, people wouldn't buy a ten year old telly surely?
  15. Awful week, worst period we've ever seen to be honest. I'm in the red massively this week considering our fixed costs.
  16. 45p to 50p per mile driven plus any fuel on top is the rate i pay. Built up a network of trade platers over the years, got them all in a WhatsApp group now and just put the jobs on there. Works ok, used to use movex but it's just gone to be a rip off especially since Manheim took it over.
  17. You edited the bit about taking things personally and this is something i am definitely guilty of. Find it hard to let things wash over me e.g comebacks after 2 months when i knew that the car went out perfect etc.
  18. I'm still looking for that elusive "winning formula"........ Sadly like unicorns it doesn't exist.
  19. Bought a v50 once........... Never again. Absolute grief, headache and a massive loss from it.
  20. Can any of you suggest websites that list the original manufacturers names for paint colours eg topaz blue, graphite grey etc. Now i am aware of paintscratch but wondered if anyone knows any others out there.
  21. And at all times tell the billy that this is a ball park figure and is not set in stone due to the various finance companies and also the customer profile. I try my utmost to sell out at 7% flat.
  22. What's your average monthly sales please?
