My old car (when I was working/employee) was an E350 Cab. Lovely thing that I bought a couple of years old with 20k. Only ever had it serviced at Merc (becuase it was in warranty), never had any problems, maintained regardless of cost etc etc. One day, driving on M6 had a horrible shake, pulled in to Corley Services and checked whatever I could, nothing stuck in wheels, tyres looked all good, nothing hanging underneath, I am the only driver and it and had just done 100 miles fault free the same day. Totally fumuxed. Took it to my tyre man who also said looks ok but we shall just remove the fronts and check the inner wall. http://

5 + 1 deposit collecting Sunday. Need a few more each month but prep is holding me back (and not having enough advertised).

Crikey - sounds like a 70's porn film I appreciate your comments Simon - I am working on it and will send you a final draft. This was on a whim one evening before I closed up for the day.

I am going to offend everyone now, except you. Your pictures are always the best I have ever seen anywhere. Personally, your write up bores me. Because of AT’s lack of formatting it just looks like a mass of specs all clumped together in sentences which IMO should be paragraphed. Your videos are poor but only because there is no narrative. I hate mine too but mainly because I don’t like my own voice and I do have a slight Midlands/Black Country accent (others will think it is strong but it isn’t). That said, I genuinely hold you in the highest regard - I think your work ethic is second to none and if you’re not a millionaire already you soon will be. I have never heard anyone talk so much sense, analyse data, exploit every opportunity quite as much as you. I am not sure if that is your culture or whether you feel you need to work harder than the next person who was born and raised in the UK or whether you’re just a sound businessman but you should be very, very proud of yourself. Sorry if I was blunt. I wish I could combine AD’s friendly, approachable persona, Mickeys voice/video and your business acumen - that would be a winning combination. I tried to create (this is a first draft, I will brush my hair and smarten up/change camera angle for the final) a similar intro to AD

I'm pleased to hear that David, having served notice on AT. Please can you tell me the other platforms - Car Gurus I have (free version).

I had never heard of Motors until I rejoined the trade a year ago - that says enough to me.

He's ok, spoke to him yesterday - just busy.

I echo the comments about Nick but also to the other regulars in particluar, NOA, EPV, AD, TV, Tradex, Dave 90210245374856521436485071Sunseeker/Ferrari/Gearbox All helped me enormously and I am very thankful. Had a spat at me on one thread too but I am not interested in retaliation. Advanced Member Members 27 265 posts Posted 16 hours ago · Report post Clearly that suspicious mentality is embedded.

It was Dave 130K But... I have just turned a deal down (derived from Ebay) for my Merc E350 Sport with 60k up at about £10k (just increased the price to £10,490). Didn't want his swapper - RR Sport. I do get FREE HPI checks shown on my ads and showroom (middle package).

Project Lupo 1.7 SDI Cat C... I know, I know..... :)
Mark101 replied to Arfur Dealy's topic in General Dealer Chat
I'm doing a similar project with a Merc CLK 320 cab which I wish I hadn't have bought but I did because it looked a lot of flash for little cash and I could see it being popular. I lost faith in it due to numerous "little" jobs but I am dragging it back from the block and will treat as a project - it drives perfectly, just looks a little untidy in a couple of areas and things like the glove box and arm rest don't stay shut + battery is flat and power steering noisy. -
Nearly wrote that but he said his tyres are ok. Swap fronts with backs and see if the vibration goes (might not see a subtle deformation).

Have I missed something about that red LED on dash? I am wondering if it is a dummy alarm? -

Nice post - you're welcome to buy any of my PX's with that sensible and honest approach - good on you my "non-trader" friend.

Perhaps you should tell them of your grand ambitions to earn £2k a month, that would surely sharpen their attention to the amount of business you'll put their way?

I didn't think that was rude personally. In fact, I always find BCA very polite.
