Exactly the same even though we are appointments only. Saturday buyers all want to arrive at 11am with a list of 15 cars to see this weekend. Sunday buyers are so tired after the 15-car-Saturday and are much more willing to deal. 10 sales this month (15 stock), 3 of them yesterday on Sun.

Best decision: get a stocking facility and move away from the £3995 price point. Second best: get a much cheaper stocking facility a year later. Worst: Quitting my full time job (Health & Safety, didn't enjoy it) in 2006 instead of 2005 when I first decided I want to deal in cars.

Might be easy to buy him out in a couple of years Rory. One of those £1 take-overs.

I always click on the log in screen. Username: F***! Password: Youuuuuuuuuu They will receive it eventually.

Agree with the clutch pack issues, we always look at the mechatronic first but bang into reverse, cangarooing in first with no throttle and a fault code for "Unexpected Mechanical Disengagement" points at the clutch. I would list it for sale with 3 months in house warranty and hope for an eastern european buyer. They generally love Skodas and you won't get a come back for something minor. If it breaks - give them the money back.

Hi Simon, yes it didn't take long, I've had a couple of very busy months but still have a few spare hours in the week for "forum time" :-)

As Rory, we use Lawgistics PDI which is completed in house following service + MOT or by the garage (independent) if they did service only. Sometimes I will re-sell a very cheap p/x in which case I complete the Lawgistics PDI following a new MOT but on the sheet advise that most items need attention even if they don't. I do this purely to make sure that if a customer expects perfection for £600-£700 they walk away.

Hi Rory and Andrew, everything is good, thanks, any legal (or other) trouble - I hope I can help.

Just to say hello, Some of you will know me personally or from the defunct AT forum, was hoping to see some of you at CDX but could not make it this year, will keep an eye on this forum, looks like it's a very popular and lively platform. Nick Kumchev
