This. God knows what stuff will be making this January. Good time for a holiday me thinks.

Customer car blows up 8 weeks after purchase...
sparky replied to Christian's topic in General Dealer Chat
A 4.8 with 128k up it, what could possibly go wrong? Sorry to hear it's the end for you which if it is, then I suppose you could play hard ball over this if you so wished. -
Just to throw some figures around, I suppose if he is charging £25 a bonnet, 10 cars a day. Not a bad way to make a living

Something else I've never heard of, I've always used golf tees. Anyway, that's another product ordered. This is one expensive thread !
-
Autosmart have just brought out a similar system with upgraded products which we are liking so far.

Fiesta to a bloke from Bahamas. Couple to France and the odd one across the border to England.
-
Well that as well. Three midgets go dogging in an 09 Astra Breeze, classic.
-
And here was me thinking this part of the forum was going downhill. I love a gadget so the order has been placed and my subscription to midget porn.com has been cancelled. Maybe it might be worth us having a 'recon 'sub forum or something along those lines?
-
And in other news, man lands on moon. I wonder if dealers were asked what they thought of Mannheim's duplicitous Surecheck product.
-
Don't. it's the hope that kills you
-
Does it make that much difference any more? Personally I can't see September being any easier for buying that Jan, Feb, March, etc etc
-
Personally, what you would spend on getting them painted, what you could get back if you sold them, I'd be trying to buy a set like the red one has got. I know they get kerb rash but they are a stunning alloy which IMO a DS3 simply has to have.
-
Good advice although I disagree about the cat n screamers. If done properly they'll be no worse than any other screamer and the chances of them being mechanically fecked are probably less than most of the shite that goes through BCA.
-
Funny things are the DS3. Personally I love the red ones but they do seem to be more miss than hit. White and blues are my best sellers, never been brave enough to buy yellow. That silver one of yours, personally I think it's the wrong type of alloy as well as the wrong colour. Put a set of the standard 17s on, black the roof then it's a different car.
-
Shocking, but sadly not surprising. Some of the stories you here about this bring a tear to the eye.
-
It will be the actuater. There are not many french things I won't buy but these are on my death list, unless cheap. Shame because the sell well.
-
Are you talking about Retail Check or iControl? Quite a big difference between the two IMO. As for subscribing to guides, as I've said before, in the current market they are about as much use as a tax disc holder.

Daily? Civil servants, don't you just love them.

Your thoughts on our new online car marketplace?
sparky replied to kennyNxtcar's topic in General Dealer Chat
Exactly. Nowhere near enough would be my guess. -
Steady on Nick
-
Whether you deal in them or not, I expect most of us know every make and model out there, or at least we think we do. Anyway, just finished browsing on Auction View and came across something I've never seen or heard of before, a Suzuki Kizashi. For all I had known before, that could have been a place, something you ride or even eat. So what undiscovered gems have you come across recently that turned out to be a car?
-
Personally I'd rather spend my money on drugs and prostitutes than any high mileage Vauxhall.
-
This is not my bag but appreciate the situation. Personally I don't think a 'main agent' service history is worth Shieeeeeeeeeeeeeeet (one for the The Wire lovers there) but can understand that Billy Punter does, however flawed that belief is.
-
And that's the only reason why I bought it as it's basically a Renault dressed in Primark clothing. So mechanically it will be spot on and at nearly 2k cheaper than an equivalent Juke it sits next to has to look value. Sadly, I can't see it attracting any MILFS like a Juke does
-
Just bought a Dacia Sandaro Stepway (I think that's what it's called), anyway it's got a bar and it's a 1.5 dci. On or off, personally I'm thinking off. Thoughts?
