  1. £75 It’s for my kids mainly 6 and 9 years old. I’m a gas and heating engineer on the side, so need something to do both
  2. i know the belingo does 3 seats. small 3 seaters that are well priced are very hard to find.
  3. Hi gents, if any of you have access to any, I’m after a cheap 3 seater van like a fiat doblo or Peugeot bipper that sort of thing. Let me know as they seem hard to find. only need it for 6-12 months, ideally white and needs to be presentable - thank you grant
  4. Yet we have been extremely busy this week. 5 sold and dead before hand
  5. I left auto trader, life goes on. Robbing bastards though
  6. Autotraders dominance is coming to an end due to their self reliance on Their name. I very rarely see them advertise and I dont even come up with my own company name on google anymore
  7. Car gurus has been doing well for us. eBay motors pro been doing well. Had a few from gumtree also. we have a meeting with motors.co.uk on Tuesday. They are very cheap but are they actually any good?
  8. The firm is an absolute Pisstake with their pricing. was paying £1300 a month for their services. we are now doing eBay motors pro and car gurus amd marketplace and the enquiries are flowing in compared to auto trader. £650 compared to £1300 and the other 2 are giving us triple the leads. Auto trader really need to bring their prices down as they are a joke good riddance! Will do 3 month trial without them and see how we are.
  9. If the car has gone into limp mode with no light, there is a strong possibility the car has been re mapped and told to not bring the eml on. I had a merc doing this and was driving me nuts for weeks and weeks. Turned out we remapped it back to standard and there was a few codes. Turned out to be an oxygen sensor. We spent £££ on it getting it to this point.
  10. You must get the recalls done, they are extremely dangerous. I’ve had multiple cut out while driving. And 2 of my customers.
  11. No it was seen in the forecourt a week ago and the guy rung up today asking if he can come and buy it.
  12. I was going to say the engine started tapping and we are not comfortable giving you the car im about £800 better off if the other guy takes it tomorrow
  13. Full money on a car with out 2 corner scuffs being painted at £8000 even thought I’ve already taken a deposit on it at £7500 and have to do the 2 corner scuffs and install a hardwired TomTom to the dash at a further £150 I REALLY feel like taking the full money and telling the woman to do one who beat me down over the price and finding her a different one! However that would be totally morally incorrect
  14. I have this on my cars. Take a look at one of my cars and scroll down, if you need any help setting it up let me know www.villagecarsessex.co.uk
  15. Sell privately and do hand over in Asda carpark and wave it good bye
  16. What about an Audi A3 1.8 Tfsi convertible.... good motors those. Why do you swerve German cars? It’s all we sell
  17. 1 series 116i came back today from a customer, engine light on and mis firing, low and behold timing chain recall. booked in end of March by bmw.... amazing how many issues we are seeing as a dealer with these 4 cylinder petrols.
  18. What is your stock profile? Run of the mill or more prestige speccy stuff?
  19. They offer a free package. Try that first.
  20. I have seen a lot of online and tv advertising lately and to be fair they are really well ranked on google. When I signed up with them last week their exact words were ‘you will reduce your autotrader package once you sign up with us’ im Beginning to believe them
  21. Just had another lead tonight. I have 20 cars listed but yes it’s working really well for us since the upgrade.
  22. I agree with Facebook. It’s really easy to ask is this available by the click of a button. Serious people will get back to you. We had another sale today from car gurus new package working nicely
  23. Hi mate they do a tension test to find out most of them need it. You’re welcome mate. It will probably need doing, the guides break and fall inside the oil pump and your engine WILL FAIL Yes they are masking a huge problem...... so many of our cars need this doing. It will probably need doing, the guides break and fall inside the full pump and your engine WILL FAIL regarding WBAUD72070E414016 there is no recalls
  24. Yes, it won’t stretch again after, just give me chassis and I can get what recalls are required. its the ‘brake retrofit’ which is code name for timing chain you need to look out for. there is 3 or 4 recalls on BMW’s between 2007-2011 batery cable to ecu melting timing chain Air con blower And one more but I’m hungover so can’t think
  25. Why have I sold about 4 cars in 2 weeks from car gurus on the free package then? i sold another today and just received lead..... a company like this does not send out fake leads... that is fraud
