Yes exactly. No one has the time to look through why a car doesnt have a registered keeper. A registered keeper doesnt mean he's the owner... Tax it. Mot it. And insure it. Then drive it. Traffic cops are focused on driving offences and road legal cars. They dont have time for tax or keepers. They're like the lowest offences of the lot. Get pulled just mention the vehicle was just bought and / or its in the trade. Road wars etc are 10+ years old when there was traffic cops. The whole policing priorities have since then changed.

It is. If there is a reserve price they can't push you up to achieve this. However they can sell lower than the reserve price.

Yes I know it happens But today at BCA Nottingham the S class Merc started at £6k and the auctioneer went up to £6700 all by himself. There was about 10 people in the hall and no one was bidding. Since it was 10 people it was very easy to keep a track on all. The hammer didnt go down and the car was driven out. I have had enough of paying over the odds because they force us to. I know some of you will say that is part of the game. But that is illegal and they can seriously get screwed over. I believe they can be investigated and authorties can obtain footage from auction halls where this takes place.

Exactly. Especially the drinks. Read a business story on Aldi and Lidl once and why they're cheap.... Its because they stock less variety of the same item so they buy one variety in bigger bulks and sell it cheaper. Eg heinz beans they dont stock and they got a cheaper version I believe. If you go to Tesco or Asda you got 10 different brands of beans and people always buy the expensive ones....so if you only got one brand people will just buy them

Use some double sided tape from Home Bargains comes in a pack of 2 rolls for a £1 Dont think cheap is tat... Its very strong and you can use plenty and plates never come off. Some excellent cheap mats at Home Bargains too for a fiver

Or he's winding his mates up... Cheers mates

Picked up a cls 320 on 2007 and it needs a front bumper and p/s/f light Seen a few cls' breaking on eBay... Rang them all.... And they have all sold the front ends...Bumpers bonnets lights etc... Think the shape of the car causes people to misjudge the length Anyone know anywhere i can specifically try for a merc? Cars not pulling properly too mechanic thinks due to the damage am inlet pipe is squashed so there isnt full boost...but bodywork needs doing first Not had a good week this week !

Whatsapp group.... Too many pings in a day though lol

I thought it was for 2 days?

No 1.0l bog standard for an old lady that wanted one. Never bought any before. Thanks for the responses folk. I will see what I can do today since I had much needed sleep....at least the battery is fully charged...

Evening all, picked up a "lovely" 2010 Corsa 1.0l for a new driver punter. Anyways on the way back after 8 or 10 miles it smoked and cut out with loss of power. Now it wont start. Been told the engine has packed up. It only had 49k on the clock. Picked it up cheap - Bristol street section for just under £1300. Bidded online and never had any issues before but guess theres a first time. Could anyone help with any contacts for a replacement engine? Seen some at £800 plus... But is that the going rate?

It was about time someone reported them to the office of fair trading...they do have powers to conduct undercover investigations... And power to rifle through paper work...

I retired after 30 years so had to do something to pass time. As i said without any health you're wealth is useless ie if you're a limping dog you cant go skiing or hiking...or long distance holidays

Ouch... That would be the fattest. Trump vs Schwarznegger Both similar height both similar weight and age Trump 109kg of pure lard Schawarznegger 109kg muscle Trump has a fatty fleshy chin Schwarznegger has the traps... Exactly. When i was in the plod people used to travel 2 to 3 hours a day to work and home. Over a typical 20 day working month that was 40 to 60 hours of travelling thats nearly 3 days... X 12 that's over a month spent in traffic... Had they lived closer it would have reduced which means more family or personal time. Plus they wore shoes for 15 hours a day and wondered why their feet were fucked.

No but this is actual people. I always check their profiles out before i reply just to see what they are like

I do too but i dont lose it over little things. Short fuse = causing more stress to yourself and stress = higher heart rate = medical problems I wont let small things mess up my health. No health = no wealth(you can have all the £££ but without health its nothing) No wealth but health? Yeah why not!

"Is this available?" "Yes" Then they go silent. For the love of god why do they message?

You can explain to them how an auction works and tell them yes it is. I have several times and their faces change: "Have you heard of Arnold Clark on thr radio when they go on about trading your car in?" "Oh yes yes" "Well when Mr Geek who has owned his Skoda Octavia for 10 years and serviced it at dealers each year and polished every Sunday, whilst his wife was at the church with the vicar, now decided he wants an upgrade he went into Arnold Clark and bought a new one and traded this one in. Arnold Clark only sell newer vehicles and therefore auction the older stuff off. As you can see they only take in decent stock" "Hmm yeah it is a fine example, the best I have seen so far" Honesty sometimes does get you far. TG no offence but you seem to get upset very easily?

Any brand new item can be defective. There is a very low chance but every item has possibility to be faulty. Whether 1 in 1000 or 1 in 10000 it does happen 1 in 10 if its from euros Was it even the correct one? Euros are known to send out wrong parts. "Oh there's 2 filters listed" why 2? If so you should know which one my car needs!! They do play parts darts

Having issues with sales? Phone not ringing? Perhaps you might want to take a photo of the BCA sticker and copy and paste the report in to your ad! Can the below count the cash? https://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/skoda-fabia-12-2012/1341735509?utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=app_ios&utm_medium=social&utm_source=whatsapp

This or maybe the mechanic left something lose or even left something in there - it can happen! (There was a case of a surgeon leaving some equipment inside of someone!)

No some do. "Good afternoon i seen yout advert for your Jaguar, i see it has fsh has x y z been changed?" Gosh i get so happy when i hear people talk like that. I hear voices saying "genuine genuine" Whereas for the chavs I say "for fucks sake"

Sorry i forgot to add: In addition to the best price last price messages i also seem to get messages asking the following despite it's in the advert: Owners / mileage/ location etc etc

Haha Nottingham city council is hell bent on bringing it in! They're even looking at idling charges were you sit with your engine running. A recent visit to the city shows how its totally ruined with cycle paths that are empty and unused with cyclists still using the road And these paths are kerbed reducing road space.

Am sorry if my recent thread has given you a bad morning. But in business you can't be worried on how your business maybe effected because of someone elses business. What i was referring to was market factors as they are the real manipulators. If you only have a stock of 5 you dont have much to worry about. But if you got a stock of 20+ and a number (say 6) of those vehicles are diesel they won't be wanted as much as more and more cities are bringing this diesel emission crap. 6 vehicles of £3k each and that's £18k you risking. Like Nick said people are changing vehicles because they have to not because they want to. Except London i hear Birmingham and Nottingham are bringing this in rapidly as some other cities.
