  1. I always thought you were taller Benji!
  2. and wait for a knock on the door from Trading Standards. Unless all your sales have the same admin fee.
  3. If you want to load it on here first I'm sure you would get good advice.
  4. You can negotiate a better rate or quite often I tell them i don’t have the margin in this deal so it’s up to them if they want to go ahead. Have they come to you on a car?
  5. And you are willing to give them £150. + Vat per deal
  6. See orginal post, paragraph 4. It is a 6 hour trip and no guarantee the key won't be lost again. Customer is refusing to return it as OP wants to inspect the car. Tony you need to take charge of the situation. Either do as I suggested on page 1 or go to Lawgistics or Lawdata for advice. Also get advice on how to protect your self going forward. Sor invoices and ensuring sor cars are trailered away.
  7. Don't worry. By that time Lucas will have bought BCA!
  8. If you ring to confirm bank details don’t ring the number on the email.
  9. I saved £500 on my insurance renewal through the Imda. I also benefitted from some free legal advice with LawData.
  10. Ignore all this “can’t start it” rubbish. You have every right to inspect it. I would write one court friendly email/letter saying that after your failed attempt to recover the car for a refund 2 months ago you are still willing to offer a refund providing the car is returned within 14 days in the same condition it was sold. If the car is not returned within that timeframe you will consider the matter closed. If you receive any further correspondence/arguments refer them back to your previous communication.
  11. 1 Ltd company for the garage and 1 for car sales. Wouldn’t this be the way forward?
  12. Better to laugh than cry. If that’s the worst thing to happen in the next 12 months it’ll be a good year.
  13. "realise you’re a twat - call AA whom agree" I haven't done it. Yet! Know plenty who have, including the Mrs. Have Ford patented their foolproof filler? Great design should be on every car.
  14. I remember when Autotrader told us what was most popular in our area, by search. Turned out 1 month to be Dodge Ram pick ups.
  15. The public believes a one owner car is a better car than 4 owners. We all know what we do and spend on a car between owners.
  16. I would have thought putting your name in the logbook would actually be seen as a bonus. If it's good enough for you to drive it must be good enough for a punter!
  17. Cars are still too expensive. If anybody can find a cheap source I’m sure they won’t be posting it on an open forum for all and sundry.
  18. I hope he’s not a dealer. You can imagine getting a call a couple of weeks after selling from the customer asking where the tree is?
  19. “garage repair attempts” suggests there is more to it.
  20. Had someone this morning test drive a Megane at £4999 then tell me that Parkers says £2700. I said I'll have 6 and give him £500 profit on each. He then says his wife works for Renault and they said £3500 so I said what are you doing here? I'd buy theirs at that price. Suprisingly they haven't got any. Amazing how they take the time and trouble to look at a car which, apparently, is so overpriced. Why don't they go and buy one of the cheaper ones advertised.
