  1. Very True but the way the article reads, its trying to stop rip off apr and large commission on finance, not the standard market etc. The problem is legging people up with a pen as deposit and giving joe public a nice shiny car they cannot afford etc. Same with the American Housing recession some 10 years ago. I wouldn't sell diesel car to a uni student who would do 3000 miles at best a year. I've talked many people out of cars if I think they are not right for them.
  2. Very slow here but friend and trader a few yards away can't handle anymore sales they are that busy!! But also comebacks and issues are the highest he has ever seen as stock he is buying all seem to have issues! (He does PDI as he has his own mechanics etc!) Sometimes I'd rather be quiet than have the headaches....
  3. May lead to less people legging themselves up with finance they shouldn't get as £1100 commission on £10000 over 4 years, I'd hate to think of the APR as well. Sounds more like capping the Amigo or same day payday high APR aspect of car finance?
  4. Good point but I don't have faith in those chaps from old. I always feel length the previous over has had it is the best barometer I've seen personally!
  5. I do the same. And I've never done this and they don't buy the car or had any issues etc. They normally leave a better car or a member of the family behind anyway haha
  6. Who takes a Kia Picanto anyway? I'd gladly give anyone the keys, its a bonus if they don't return!!
  7. In the 80's my father in law tells a great story about buying 20 large TV's (in colour!?) and offering them free with any car purchased that month!! He said he ended up with 19 of the TV's as everyone said, just knock the extra £££ off the price of the car.... Anyone else been left with Autogylm kits or security locks they just couldn't give away as an incentive or have you found free 12 month RAC cover works?! Just a bit of fun : )
  8. Thank you for all your replies! Mixed bag, as ever, do your checks before bidding. Thanks again everyone for your feedback! Never seen BCA's car numbers so low and good stock going so much over Cap etc.
  9. Hi All, Years ago when car craft was at its height and they set up WBAC, I started buying from them. All total junk. All BCA seems to be filled with is WBAC cars. My question is, is it any better or is it still other peoples problems? I'm on the hunt for stock and most seem to be UKCARG
  10. At £250 a month I'd personally take it on for storage and I'm in Lymm - Warrington LOL
