  1. Excellent stuff. Always nice to have a little balance
  2. Hi. My name is Frank and I want a piece of your cake as it looks easy money, problem is I'm stuck with some Nissan Juke CVT's that looked cheap at the time but are actually bolloxed and now my wife is nagging me to get rid but I just can't move them, I mean a literally can't move them. Any ideas welcome.
  3. If that's your business model then my advice would be don't give up the day job.
  4. Indeed. But we both know how things work on here these days
  5. To be fair, Manheim Shotts still offer good rates, although as ever they are offset by everything from up there needing discs and pads.
  6. These guys are pretty good. www.crockofgoldattheendoftherainbowcarauctions.com
  7. I thought you were anti BCA and were advising us all not to bother with them?
  8. Are you on some sort of sponsored threadathon?
  9. At least you bought the right car at auction. I was in the hall for only the second time recently ( previously a civil servant, now retired) and due to the horrible exhaust gasses I sneezed, the pesky auctioneer took that as a bid and I ended up buying Mitsubishi Charisma when I should have been buying a Nissan Juke. Any advice welcome although don't expect any gratitude. Mr R Sole
  10. Don't waste your time. Nobody of any note is taking any notice of you. They help us make a nice living. But if you don't like them then the answer is pretty obvious I'd of thought.
  11. Indeed. The other side of the coin that not many mention. As I've said before, on the stock that I know pretty well my eyes light up when I see red on the reports.
  12. That's definitely the case if the OP is Limited. Amazing how many 'Limited' dealers don't know this or maybe they just totally ignore it.
  13. And the same old story. With that in mind I had my Aston Barclay account switched back on this week which had been dormant since January. Glad I did because I picked up two lovely bits that are a bit of me, one I knicked and for the icing on the cake, both vat qualifying for my quarter which finished yesterday which will help soften the blow of a good three months for the vat man. P.S What a lovely user friendly website Aston Barclay now have. A pleasure to navigate, Manheim take note.
  14. Never done one on a Zafira but I imagine they all work the same, so my guess would be heater box which probably means dashboard out.
  15. Indeed. If I was going to bring one out I'd call it snake oil.
  16. Just seen this go through. A 2004 GSI, manheim grade 5, 83k, I think CC was £1400. Through my PC it looked a truly hateful thing. A four pack of Magnum's for who can guess what it made.
  17. Put an RCZ on my watch list last night. A quick bit of research this morning shows this Vauxhall Dealer currently selling a 2004 Peugeot 206 CC amongst it's other pearls. Now removed from my watch list and let's be honest, if anybody buys this and gets bit then they have only themselves to blame.
  18. Personally I think the Grand Scenic is the best in it's class by some way and has been for a while.
  19. Not sure I share you fear. They chose to take steroids when the rest of us went to the gym and eat lettuce, we all know who the types I'm talking about. Feck em is what I say.
  20. Personally I'd never tell a women with an Irish accent to take a running jump.
  21. I can't see it happening like it did 10 years ago where we still had big volumes going through the hall, simply because I've never seen the demand for used cars in the hall like we are seeing now. Unless the likes of Next Gear or Partner Finance stop playing ball then I'm not seeing anything (even brexit) that can slow things down that much. Clearly those clever City types (cough, cough) think so too with BCA about to go under the hammer.
  22. Haha. I was driving through Denbigh last week and came across this. Thing is, it didn't look out of place
