  1. This is why I love commercials. We get a lot of the same type direct from the same company, always identical spec and always within a few reg digits of each other; one set of photos and not one customer has ever noticed

    Derivaties

    Like! Reminds me of my first days in the trade.. When derivatives were mentioned L, GLS etc were the first thing that came to mind!
  3. I’ll go with the general concensus, it gets an advert once physical, even if it’s just with a handful of photos. Next question, thoughts on using auction house photos?
  4. On a side note, I woke up this morning and fancied becoming an electrician. I’ve got my multi-meter and joined a forum so if anyone wants their house re-wired..
  5. Already started, spotted one of their ads today..
  6. Stop it, you’re making me want another now
  7. I actually had to check my CAP history because this was the exact situation I had with a Focus on one of our vans a few months back, guy enquired several times but would never deal. My customers was a TDCi though!
  8. I love a miley Volvo! Smoked a 170k manual S60 for a bit recently, was that impressed with that that when it sold I treated myself with a lowe mileage 150k auto! Both ended up with friendly Romanian gentlemen via the bay of e..
  9. WAM, stripe, and trims.. (One for the old school amongst us)
  10. Always used Autosmart, failing that most motor factor stuff is ok for the job.
  11. You can buy non-caustic too. Had a similar thing with my hands flaring up due to not using gloves, I’ve respected it since
  12. Traffic Film Remover Another thumbs up for the Numatic, mines outlived 2 Karchers!
  13. +1 Just as a heads up I often find that a builders description of their van being ‘good condition’ differs dramatically to mine..
  14. How about Henry Royce’s: ’Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten’
  15. Down on this time last year but a bit happening today so I’m hoping the latter half of the months going to improve
  16. C3 Pluriel? Used to suffer with the same issue if the battery voltage dropped off
  17. Local to me, nice to see consistency in their quality of adverts and responses: any fiannce enquireys please call do not email price is fixed theres no discount for cash ‘This car is am exclusive of your looking you prob no what there all about , these are very rare because they are expesnive bui;ds, good quality lots of attention to detail , exclusive trucks are done properly and are for people who appreciate the finer thimgs in life‘
  18. Had the same. A quick look at Shpock tells me the clientele are at a lower level than Scumtree.. It’s a no from us!
  19. Have come across these before, I like the open and upfront 'straight from BCA' approach to their photographs!
  20. And he openly admitted it too! Said he would buy any of the stereotypical export cars I got. To answer Stephen Ive always run my auctions to end Sunday evening although with mobile access these days I'm not sure whether it still makes a difference?
  21. The Auris was an SR petrol, nice example and attracted the right person so nice and easy. The Avensis was an 08 so not a lot of money but had a stint on Gumtree followed by an eBay no reserve auction where it sold at the highest bid to a Romanian for export. All messages ignored and no number in my ad during the auction!
  22. As seen on DA 'good condition for age and miles'
  23. Having owned an Auris and a 200k ex-taxi Avensis over the last few weeks I feel your pain Andy!
  24. I've got to admit to replying 'can of petrol and a box of matches' when asked 'what will you give me for my car?' over the years..
