Very common problem on these. Second hand one is a bit risky as they all go at some stage Last time we spent £100 for brand new one off ebay seller Make sure numbers match

As we do on some occasions. However if the car has an existing MOT surely it is roadworthy Or am I missing something?

It's really hot here now, touching 30 degrees. I don't think I will see anyone else today. I did one this morning...

This constant rain seems to have killed it for me. A downside of an open pitch, punters won't view in the rain...

Your local re-map/tuning man can remove these. It's just a map

I buy 90% of my stock from DA and very rarely have a problem. Say 1 in 20 has an undisclosed issue. The rules I follow are: Always collect yourself or a trusted driver(my semi retired father does the collections) Never travel more than 70ish miles Always buy a return train ticket just in case(it's not much more than a 1 way) Don't pay until you have appraised and driven it Get to know who are the good sellers( I have used DA since it's inception) There are some good sellers who are quite reasonable if they have missed something I actually prefer it to physical auctions mainly because you get to drive the things before paying Holdcroft are a great outfit. They do the job properly. Staff are a bit miserable. Although that's understandable Business to business is different. They can still charge Most dealers are set up to check the transfer while you are there collecting. Never pay in advance!

Just me then!

Dead today. Just a CF 247 enquiry that will probably lead to nothing On the subject of CF247 I had one on the go earlier in the week on a little Pug 108 All done my end then heard nothing. I called CF247 next day asking what the hold up was. They told me customer will e sign tonight. Next day called them again and was told customer had signed it's with payout Later that day they called me to say customer has lost phone on a business trip so can't complete payout. It will be sorted next week. What a load of bullshit!

Yep tried in/out Finally got through on the phone. It's an issue they are aware of but 'the technical team don't work weekends so monday/ tuesday before it's fixed' Great!

Yesterday afternoon and today Anyone else having a problem with this?

Welcome Max

Jimnys are great news. Always have been I've bought and sold loads a back in the day when we used to underwrite cars from our local Suzuki dealer. Those were the days...underwriting cars. I digress I watch them on DA now and they make fortunes. Must be one of the slowest depreciating cars on the road

I buy most of my stock via D/A. There are a couple of vendors that I have looked at that don't allow test drives but they put this in T&C's. I wouldn't entertain bidding however cheap with no T drive. There are others who try to make it difficult but you have to be firm with them OP you did the right thing to walk away

It's still quiet here in Northampton! 2 deals in 2 weeks. I hear others in the town also quiet. I just don't get it. 95% of my stock showing good price and more stock than i've had for 12 months. I think AT are up to their old tricks. A couple of enquiries asking 'is this still for sale'. Phoned and emailed back but no response. This only seems to happen when it's quiet!

3 month warranty on everything except SOR cars. Cars in the area I self warrant 3 months and I'm quite happy to cover everything even exhausts. It's good customer service and promotes a good reputation IMO Out of area I use 3 month Lawdata warranty

This was my exact post a few weeks ago....why copy and paste when all answers are there in previous thread? Strange

My rep recently told me they are putting more money into online promotion We had 1 lead in 6 months and that went dead

What was the diagnosis?

Have a look here https://easydealerbookkeeping.com/16-uk-used-vehicle-dealer Ready built spreadsheet with stock book etc. I have used for 4 years. Its a great spreasheet at low cost. The spreadsheet builder now recommends bridging software www.vitaltax.uk to link the spreadsheet to HMRC I haven't set up my bridge yet. It's on the to do list Has anyone else registered for MTD with HMRC yet?

Since AT check started I've had a couple flag up with mileage discrepancies. Having looked closely at previous mileages recorded on the NMR it was quite obvious what the cause was. Numbers swapped round usually i.e 32000 input as 23000. With AT check it's very easy to query with Experian. In both cases they removed the mileage anomaly within a couple of days

Thanks all for your help. Online with random number in front saves me a trip to post office when it's sold
