  1. I reckon they ran it up - I was watching on line and listening and it seemed very slow
  2. Go on a comparison site and look for best deals, filtering by what reward you want - cashback (think it 0.5%), airmiles, vouchers, Nectar etc. Remember the card issuer charges a commission on each transaction to the processing agent (BCA, shop, fuel etc) hence why you see minimum spend £10 in a lot of places. Out of their commission, they give you a little back. The commission (when I had a card machine) I think was about 1.5-2% and Amex was more like 3.5%, hence why so few places accept it. I use them because I like to keep the cash in the business - best case, I sell a car within the interest free month, worst case, I pay it off in full when its due. Basically "free for a month" stock + a reward - got to be better than stock funding?
  3. Auction starts at 12.20 and your car is no.65 - so probably about 12.50 until that goes through
  4. Vehice: Mini Cooper 2005 (55) on 92k @ £2,295 nice cheapie and just had new clutch (by us) Ebayer: £2000? Me: Fair bid I thought to myself but I'm here to make money, "I will meet you half way @ £2,150?" Ebayer: £2,100 Me: Ok, I will accept your £2,100 but the car remains on sale until A) you pay a deposit or (will not let me put a b in brackets lol) C) you are stood in front of me with the money. Ebayer: No response, gone quiet - Messer Another: Vehice: BMW 520d M Sport Touring on a 13 plate and 75k (the best spec I have ever, ever seen - soft close doors, pan roof, TV front and rear, Wide screen Pro Nav - you name it) £15,995 Ebayer: £10000 Me: £15,995 Ebayer: £12,000 Me: Ok £15,995 Result: £15,995 to first viewer (not this fool)
  5. I use them all the time - I get cashback and rewards on them. Then I simply pay off in full at the end of each month and go again - free 4-6 weeks stock funding?
  6. Thanks for the info EPV - wow
  7. On a PAYG package from AT - Do any of you know whether I can link to Dealer Website (or am I being thick?) I am presuming I need to commit to a package for that but cannot find any pricing on their website (there's a surprise). Anyone know roughly what a starter package should cost because the figures you guys are saying scare me. Cheers
  8. Website now LIVE - thanks guys for all your input. Only quickly uploaded "stuff" so it will improve in the coming days. Thanks again, Mark
  9. True! I should've learned the first time
  10. Thanks for your help on this - I have just signed up to a Car Dealer 5 package - should be live by the end of the week. Thank you Umesh, I had missed this reply - very kind and you're fairly local to me!
  11. I will have to tell them I've just come from the gym - mind you, if they saw me they'd know that was a lie - my favorite gym machine serves crisps and chocolate.
  12. Cheers BHM I will give it a go this week
  13. If only I could be classy cars for sensible money..................
  14. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Traditional-Antique-Brass-Green-Bankers-Table-Office-Desk-Lamp-Lounge-Light/352313652564?hash=item520787b554:g:3FYAAOSwiIxaHUlu That must be some Mondeo
  15. Exactly or baking soda in the mix! I was looking for something like that to be honest, simple and effective. Their lemon in a bowl of water in the microwave works a treat.
  16. I cannot believe that you can get "done" for not being taxed in a pub car park (providing it was taxed or on trade plates to get there). All we hear about is how under resourced the Police are nowadays, so why would they bother with such petty "crime." I would hope that most "officials" would appreciate that someone is just trying to make an honest living.
  17. It's a long shot but having trawled various pages looking for a "Kim and Aggie" type solution, this kept popping up. Having read all the many positive and the few negative reviews (apt, as per other post regarding reviews) advertising a unit at £90, I thought shall I take a gamble - then I found it advertised on Amazon for £59 delivered (Prime) and thought, let's give it ago. Anyway, car should be out of bodyshop (bumper and door car park dinks) on Wednesday and ready for the valeters to attack the new paint with their TFR. I will see how "clean" they can get the interior and then give this gizmo a blast (taking lots of precautions as per the many health warnings). Here it is, next to Quentin!
  18. Wouldn't want to use a credit card that's for sure
  19. I have just taken delivery of (and I mean 10 mins ago) an Ozone Generator - Google it and read the reviews. Highly toxic so beware, area has to be ventilated for hours after completion but no more smells (pets, tobacco and the like). Worth a try I thought - haven't taken out the box yet so cannot review.
  20. Cheers Simon I suppose that’s sort of what is happening by accident. One at BCA, one in workshop, one in body shop. Just need to back fill
  21. Been there done that - didn't work out - far too many overheads and still capacity issues when busy. Happy to outsource and I appear to be front of queue and pricing wise, I am a very happy. The second I feel someone's having my eyes out, I'm off. i am just being impatient I guess
