Nick, your photos are incredible. Most of us would pay to have them look that good. I didn’t read the description because it looked long and boring. Video is better than nothing I guess

Thanks Mat. I don’t usually buy diesels and won’t again. I was thinking about changing a few bits as it usually helps stickers I’ve had before

Prices at blackbushe have been silly, they must be selling somewhere. Not here though.

Never had a mini stick before. I think most buyers now days are more conscious of wheels and colour

Same as mine. It’s great value which is exactly why I bought mine.

What’s your up for Mark and where are you located? It’s been advertised for 92 days, started at 5495 and gone all the way to 4495 and back up to 4995. Not one enquiry

I have a 2012 Mini One D in white that I’d like to move on at cost if anyone is interested. It was a grade 2 car and hasn’t needed any prep work. It’s a 1 owner car with 76,000 miles.

Forced regen on a petrol engine? I don’t think so.... all bmw N engines are terrible and asking for trouble

You won’t get a better than this ^^ i always ask if they’ve had finance before and make them apply before viewing the car to save wasted time

Last serviced in 2014 so it has 6 in three years lol that’s a lot

Looks sh*t! Too dark and reflections all over the place. Decent camera with minor editing is all that’s needed

Busy for me and I don’t stock many. Buying hasn’t been too bad either

Sounds like the customer I had Saturday using Parker’s pricing. Sorry, Parker’s who??

Sorry Nick, I meant can I use wave for invoice only. They only have a few templates which I don’t like. Think I’ll be better off paying someone to do it for me

I use excel for my accounts. Can I use it just to create invoices? No I just put my cars on there and that’s it

Finance is definitely down. We get emails from close all the time and they’ve changed their criteria from 100k to 130k and lowered their lending down to a grand

I’m currently using an A4 pad for invoices which I had made when I first started. I want an online invoice system that’s all set out with logo ect so all I have to do is fill it out and use eclick. Don’t want to use word and wouldn’t know how to do it my self. Can anyone recommend something?

My best find was a gold ring encrusted with diamonds and blue sapphire, £400 to the local pawn shop, the car was returned to bca as the service history turned out to be fake. Viagra in a bmw convertible (what does that say about bmw drivers!) a selection of lock knifes in a golf. And the usual sweats and kids toys under the back seat

Just what I was reading actually. Few months down the line and he owns the forum apparently

Ever seen in the news about people putting oil in the coolant and trying to con you out of your car? I fell victim to this a few years ago but sent them on their way. Older an wiser now, I watch them like a hawk when they lift the bonnet

I think I’ll speak to lawgistics as the contract does say the car must still comply with CRA

I completely agree and I have dealt with complaints before and had no issues. This customer is not a normal. I’ll give you a run down, 1) calls following week saying when they start the car some water dribbles from exhaust and then stops. 2) call on week 2, there’s some black smoke when you “red line it” from idle (yes that’s soot, it’s direct injection) 3) week 2 still, “oh just to let you know the turbo pipe was loose so I tightened it and now it’s split, can you send us a new one?” 4) still week 2, “cars not running right, been diagnosed as cracked turbo housing, it’s £500 can you pay for it” I call the “garage” and no faults were diagnosed. The list goes on and it’s madness! Was with a different customer on test drive and missed a call from the customer in question. Because I couldn’t answer they continued to call me another 10 times f ing this and that. Never known anything like it

Thanks for sharing that. I haven’t spoken to them directly and jigsaw have been dealing with it who I’ve been really pleased with. The complaints manager know exactly what’s she’s on about and is not taking any shit. As soon as the customer gave them shit they couldn’t be bothered and started the rejection cry. I’m still damanding the car back for proper diagnostics

I use close and the declines go straight to a broker. The customer did no research on the car they were buying and didn’t even put down a deposit. Never again

I’m only dealing with the broker since the customer made the complaint. I’ve requested the car back for inspection only. I presume the “audible noise” reported by scotia is a result of oil starvation which is why I want it back asap. If I’m right then I’ll be laughing down the phone. If I’m wrong and it’s wear and tear or sudden failure I’ll take it on the chin
