It’s an easy fix but parts unavailable anymore (one gaiter, one seal - Jeep can’t help ) Thanks Simon - I’m currently enjoying a healthy run, much awaited. imperial-marques.co.uk I consider nicking my ideas the highest form of flattery

Thank you Simon, nice words and probably the reason I will never be a millionaire

I thought you were flying because you've been quiet lately. You've got some nice kit, just had a look

Trouble is when you are busy (and anything like me), it takes ages to catch up on all the unread posts. It is a real sanity checker this site.

I thought you have thousands of McVans up your way

OCD as well then NOA? Really does bug me; that plus a lack of commas or too many commas.

You get a choice of numbers. I went for a local area code and one that was fairly easy to remember. Cost is negligable

I have VOIP with BT and as NOA says, it is brilliant - make and receive calls using a virtual landline from my mobile. After hours, I still have my mobile for personal use but the business caller only gets to the out of hours voicemail, which if they leave a message I return the call during sensible hours, stops screamers ruining your Friday night. Great for differentiating between business and social calls.

I have recently stopped writing long-winded paragarphs waxing lyrical about each car, instead it reads (for example) 2010 (60) VW Scirocco 170 GT Manual 1 Previous Owner 163,000 Miles Full Main Dealer History 12 Months MOT 19" Alloys Air Con Cruise Control etc and then end with 2 Orginal and Working Remote Keys. This, plus the photo and video is more than enough IMO. I hate reading, so bullet points is the way forward as far as I am concerned.

I thought that but I am quite happy that my T&C's are fair and transparent.

Thanks, well spotted

I understand that the Seller accepts no responsibility for consequential losses or costs.

If it is working for you, I wouldn't change. It stopped working for me, so I changed. A massive risk yes but so far I have had my second best month and already have a few deposited during April. EMP, FB and Google for me. Total bill around £400 p/m for at least 13 cars (more on FB).

100% right in my experience TV. Everyone has said, seen your car on Google, Facebook, CarGurus or EBay. I wasn’t expecting it by dropping AT but just today I have had three walk ons (sold to two of them) and one appointment (Sold). The place is buzzing and I never got local traffic from AT.

To be fair, the last lot just said "we have been looking for ages." Perhaps that is why.

Post AT divorce - 2 sold and gone and 3 dippers taken, could be a great Month if it continues. I had to turn two other people away as I was laready dealing with a walk on (who bought) and an appointment who arrived early (and bought). Time of the year, Ebay or FB - who knows?

Took me a minute

Best I have paid was £80 but ususally £120 mate

I did this last month on a car with no new keeper supplement - straight through by adding (a 9 or a 1) infron of V5 number.

Re: Firefighter - I would be having that up at £3,990 to start and dropping to £3,490 if no news after 4 weeks. Worst case £2990 - money back. Leather and mileage will help that sell and yes, the axle is a very common issue. I look at your site quite often Simon, you've been a big help to me - so it's good to track others progress and I saw this - they fetch a fortune at the block, that's for sure. I would be getting the B pillar back tinted out and that will (IMO) make a big difference because at the moment, it looks like a greenhouse trimmed in chrome. I had the exact same spec (but 118 D sport in black), on a 59 plate, 1 owner similar mileage - went for £6,250 in 26 days hammer to bank. Drew a grand nett from that even after fitting DMF and clutch.

I sell more 1 Series than any other car. What's the reg (pm me if you like)

TV32 - I fully expected to go crawling back to AT in 3 months but based on this months business (as in busy ness), I am no longer fully expecting to, but keeping an open mind.

Stock total around 16-18 cars, sold 10 (7 gone, 3 deposit). Last 2 were 1 x CarGurus (free package only) and 1 x Google search for used cars. To be fair AT was still live for the first 3 weeks of the month and I am hopeless at asking people where the leads derived. Having said that and there can be many reasons, it has really picked up, my phone rings regularly and there is a general buzz of activity, cars in, PX in, cars out etc - gone a little crazy busy to be fair and I like it.

I will stick £20's in your knickers Dean
