    for those of you who knew sorry to bring this up if you didnt then.........

    i have recently taken a 2003 micra with 17110 miles yes 17k  and the mot tester accidently put the milage of the last vehicle tested ...39400 miles

    i didnt see it till the next day he then corrected the original milage but it stayed ion dvla 's  mot check   site ..

    i emailed dvla who told nme to email motreplacment@dvsa.gov.uk  with evidence of milage prior to the orig mot , luckily i had a service the day before at a workshop 4 door up i sent in a pic of the service and a pic of the service book .. they replied @5 days to say the evidence given is sufficientto change the detail.. back to 17110 ... :)  days 

    just incase you have this issue as we are all only human !

    Customer Calls:

    Hi calling about the zafira on your website, I'm looking for a very safe car. I've three kids you know?!

    Me: Yep all our cars are inspected prior to sale plus this has a new test.

    Customer: Great, what's the lowest you'll go on it.

    Me: Our stock is advertised to sell. Its advertised at our best price.

    Customer: The advert says it has 4 New chunky tyres, How much will you do it for without the tyres.... (She had a 2005 Zafira and wanted to somehow use her old tyres)

    She wasnt even joking..... the lockdown loony brigade.

    BUT SHES GOT 3 KIDS ..WHO SHE OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT CARE ABOUT LOL

    What about CRA then?

    THE CUSTOMER IS BUYING A SECOND HAND UNIT AND THERFORE THERE HAS TO BE SOME LEWAY IN THAT THEY ARE NOT BUYING NEW! YES THEY HAVE RIGHTS BUT TO REJECT SOMETING THATS OLD AND WORN CANNOT BE JUSTIFIED , IF IT IS NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE THEN YES , BUT WARNING LIGHTS ? THE SMELL OF FUEL IS QUESTIONABLE ?   I WOULD DO MY BEST TO GET IT CHECKED FIRST.

    DONT GET ME WRONG I HAVE REFUNDED IN MY 31 YRS OF TRADING BUT MOST HAVE THEM REPAIRED AS ITS A PITA TO FIND ANOTHER CAR ... WHICH ON THE TRADERS SIDE IS GOOD NEWS . MY MESSAGE TO THE OP WOULD BE PUT THE BEST WARRANTY ON THE CAR YOU CAN , IT COVERS BOTH OF YOU.

    car has just had a borg & beck clutch dual mass flywheel , master cylinder , service full mot valet mop and canubra polish all of which would cost @ 12-1500 pounds and the autotrader give it FAIR  price .. they are also telling us how much to pay and advertise our stock is this FAiR advertising practice ......

    i have had a call today from dealer auction as i complained re a hyundai i purchesed 18 days ago ( which by the way is still needeing repairs after a clutch , that was noted by the dealer ... rear bushes , rear staberliser arms,  seat repair ,  mould under the seats , worn out gear knob air con rad gone , stinks inside , dent to tailgate on top which has chipped the roof  not seen until we got above vehicle   )   and there reply was we are giving the dealer a points system if they get complaints they willm stop the dealer .... too bloody late after they have had many traders in the net ... we need a system like sytner 's  auction where the traders give feedback , of which i have read and not bought a car from certain dealers  due to bad feedback.

    so there are  calls for a new schrappage scheme ... thats it help the big boys out again .... it desimated the s/h car business last time , there are thousands  prob millions who cannot get a new car ... i have just sold a 53 reg jaguar that was in the words of the customer "stunning  condition"  with a warranty for 1299 , they had an insurance pay out from their last car 1500 quid,  that would be thier depo and the monthly payments ontop .... or 15 months of 99 a month they still have 21 months of payments and no car at the end   so how is that helpful ....
