  1. Just my opinion but... Do you want to be a car dealer or a car detailer? I don't have the time, energy, motivation, inclination or anything else to do my own prep. I have a full SMART Lechler paint scheme but still send everything to the SMART professionals around the corner. I pay my guy to do all the prep, leaving me to concentrate on buying right, picturing and advertising right - the rest is either outsourced or Nick (my detailer) does it. By the time you have factored equipment and consumables cost (and most importantly time), it makes no sense (to me), unless you enjoy doing it to do it yourself.
  2. Am I missing something - just says rear number plate light not working
  3. If you really have to, it needs to be a white lounge spec and cheap, very cheap. Make sure mileage is low becuase these things are pure crap.
  4. I bought a mint 500S once, lovely looking thing, which was a good job because I looked at it forever and ever. Never again.
  5. It is exactly the same as if the car had been stolen off the driveway. Your insurer as the last named policy provider pay out, then claim off the offender. It is only when a vehicle has NO insurance full stop that you’re talking about.
  6. This is right. Whatever the circumstance, the insurance company who cover that car will pay the third party and if you're in breach of the policy terms and conditions, pursue the policyholder (or perhaps your mate) to reclaim their costs.
  7. Quite common to have that benefit removed on a U25 policy or if he is 3rd party only.
  8. And when you have one puncture, you get a run of punctures then go 10 years without one. I had a nail one tread to the left of centre (huge tyres) and (desperate), I took it to Formula 1 Tyres (multinational), who said that they cannot guarantee a repair because it is too close to the edge. Me, shut up mate, we're in the same game - here's £20, fix it and lose the invoice. Tyre was on +7mm.
  9. Isn't it amazing how a nail always ends up on the side wall? All that flat surface area, completely avoided but manages to snag just on the very edge/side
  10. Not legally then I reckon it will be a while until he comes to see you while you're holding a bat
  11. Someone sounds like (according to his Username) that he is knocking you and I off our Fat Perch @tradex Welcome by the way Fatboy. I know your pain....
  12. Just had a lovely straight deal on my S Class. Lovely couple, both Bulgarian. Propped via my website, accepted - came with all their details/ID to satisfy Close Bros and their PX was better than expected. Hadn't seen the car only my video, quick look around and big smiles - back off to Sunny Devon. Why can't everyone behave like this?
  13. I've had a few wasters this past week. One couple came to see my Tiguan, on a 15 with 40k FMDSH, 1 Previous, 2 keys, Match spec so NAV, self parking etc etc. Retail is £11,400, it's on at £10,995. Apart from one tiny speck of stone chip (I mean tiny, not dent) It is just what they are looking for then asks whether we have any more coming in? A) Probably not as good as this one - gone for a think
  14. And why the fuck do they do their shopping at weekends, blocking the aisles with their own tartan shopping trolley?
  15. Click on stock, top left corner. Click on Sold vehicles - Voila
  16. Wow - we've found our rat To be fair, I am a fat bastard.
  17. Funny how we all see things differently. BCA Wolverhampton is my favourite site, friendly staff and helpful yard staff, all address me by my first name.
  18. Post some obscure ones Tradex, let's see if our memories work.
