  1. Make a complaint to the ASA. All warranty companies are the same!
  2. If you have both a VW group diesel and a Zafira then you are ok. The one starves the other of oxygen!
  3. Having an unroadworthy vehicle up for sale on your forecourt can lead to problems with Trading Standards!
  4. If you want to see corporate greed look at Epyx Accounts, owners of 1-link
  5. If you do not have distance selling regulations stipulated in your terms and conditions then the can legally return goods up to 90 days. You are liable for the return!
  6. Now owned my Manheim. Maybe the delivery folks are now being screwed as well!
  7. Everybody is missing the point. The Germans have now got to find another way to bail out the Greek economy!
  8. I think the bigger problem will be the reluctance to have them "corrected" by the dealerships. Possible loss of performance and reduced fuel economy after the visit to the dealership!
  9. A problem with selling a used Megane is that one of the rear windows is likely to fail. When ever we see one as a possible part ex it usually has at least 1 failed!
  10. I feel the bigger issue is after 30 days. The customer has a right to reject if a second fault occurs after you have repaired a first fault. This could be 4 months after the sale.
  11. Turbo's fail through lack of lubrication or ingesting bits of engine.
  12. Ah! 30% Biodiesel blend. Not necessarily a cheaper option. Not something that I would want to use.
  13. No such thing as cheap truckers diesel.
  14. Shrinks even more when you factor in a warranty cost. Of course then you are able to thrown in mats, road fund and a free tank of fuel.
  15. Crystal Ball for consultation purposes.
  16. Days to sell This article seems to indicate that the market is not very buoyant at the moment.
  17. Welcome to the New World where people are no longer responsible for their own actions!
  18. Retailing something like this after October 1 could be a nightmare!!
  19. James. One glaring error. You took the Corsa with you. "How much will you give me for my trade-in?" "Where is it?" "At home!" "Would you buy my car without seeing it?" "No!" "But you expect me to buy yours without seeing it!"
  20. Everybody wants it cheap. Get a plumber in and it's "how much for cash".
  21. Customer buys a car off you and pays buy debit card. Asks you to deliver the car. Money has all cleared. Just drop the car off and put the keys through the letter box. 90 days later the customer phones you and says he wants his money back. If your T&C's don't cater for long distance selling you are stuffed! We don't even take payment over the phone for parts. Customer wants a part ordered he has to come in and see us!
  22. I was thinking about BT TV on my standard broadband line. I object to the £35 fee for them to make sure that they have set up my broadband correctly! Stuff them. On the topic of fees. I reckon 1Link must be near the top for knowing how to charge fees! Booking fees, chase fees etc and they are constantly pestering you in the hope that you miss the response deadlines so that they can rack up the bill.
