  1. Can anyone recommend a trustworthy supplier of branded clothing? I'm looking to get my logo and Web address onto a fleece jacket and gilet
  2. I'm finding the fees of BCA ridiculous, assured fee now over £50, I bought a car for 2k dead, £2400 final invoice, then the f**kers invoiced me for storage on the day it was collected. One upset benji right here
  3. Do a smart repair course and do the paint damage yourself, personally as long as your not slicing your margin too much a car can never be too clean etc, I've never lost a sale and my personal opinion is that having a, gleaming car creates trust with the customer, they may think "wow this has been looked after, if they prep their cars to this level they must know what they are doing" etc etc
  4. I sold a shitty 53 plate c max for 450 to 9 of morecambes finest travelling community last week, 9 of them.
  5. Go with your gut, you'll lose nothing by not taking part ex but could lose if you do take part ex
  6. They won't let me, if a couple of Jessies hadn't of taken it too far I wouldn't of had to change it in the first place
  7. Wow shocking, fantastic accent that AD
  8. I've made more off this one estate than my last 2 corsas, it's a real eye opener for me, I know you guys have been telling me to sack off small cars but until you experiment you just never know. I look at my locale, Lancaster is the biggest nearest city, big open area, popular with walkers and short breakers, long windy roads and a mix of low income to high earners, no wonder I struggled with small cars
  9. I hereby declare to never touch a vauxhall corsa ever again, give me dog hair ridden smokers stained diesel estates any day
  10. Thankyou sir, It's ridiculous really that I'm celebrating finally making good money on one car
  11. Yep a family friend, part ex deal for a 53 c-max with 120k, I feel an eBay auction coming on
  12. "which in my experience", which obviously doesn't count for much, I stand corrected again
  13. Only Mini Copper S's? What year models are you thinking because with that budget I don't think you'll get much. Stocks you'll find at trade sources such as auctions, do your own research to find local auctions, you'll only find out margins when you've purchased a car and gone through the whole process through to sale no one can estimate this for you, it all depends what you buy at. Private sales are great if you can find someone willing to sell a car at trade value which in my experience is one in a million. Get registered with auctions and online auction sites and get familiar with the guide prices of the models you're interested in but as I said, mini cooper S's between 1 and 3k I'm not so sure, you'll need a mini expert to give you a better idea on what budget you'll need
  14. Sold before I've even advertised it
  15. MrV

    Lawgistics

    I may be wrong but from what I've read They basically take a monthly fee from you which goes into your "claims pot" then if you get a claim they will give guidance and representation if required and get it sorted for you Just search lawgistivs on here there's a few threads about it
  16. No no I'll do the full set for sure, this one's mainly for trialling demand/appeal, I know small cars will sell but only at certain prices so I'm trying something else, hopefully it'll sell quickly
  17. Extremely happy actually, 58 octavia elegance 1.9 tdi Estate auto/DSG, 90k, FSH, 2 keys, spare alloy with locking nut, all docs, 1 owner in stunning CAPPUCINO BEIGE! the cars fully loaded, plenty of optional extras all for 250 under cap clean needs 1 brake disc, 1 tyre and a little bit if paint work on bottom of nearside door
  18. Yep I was a grown up and did it all by myself
  19. It actually is yes big boy, an Astra coupe but not too sure what price to put it up at, what you reckon?
  20. I'm sure I'll be fine, after all I've got all of the once in a lifetime advice you chaps have given me to fall back on haven't I
