    When you sell it and need to get it taxed;

     

    Call Martin the taxman

    Then post the blue V5 with customer detail to DVLA.

    He can tax anything!

    Where can I find Martin the tax mans details

    Today I suspect the punters were more interested in doing selfies in beer gardens or queueing up outside Primark. What on Earth is that all about? How fucking sad do you have to be to queue up for a £3 T-shirt?

    There queuing up outside Poundland here no even joking

    as my local mot tester says every day is a school day and I recommend the podcasts to anyone old or new traders trader starting out or those who have been in the trade years 

    be nice to see them getting more reviews etc and the recognition David and the podcast deserve 

    hope everyone is well 

    stay safe and well

    Whilst Southern Canadians are notoriously inward looking, I wonder if the dreadful performance of Deliveroo will make them think?

    Yes I know workers rights had an affect on Deliveroo, but its still a disaster.

    I have a nice bottle of champers in the fridge to be opened when Cazoo IPO fails. 

    As you say in my opinion Id almost guarantee many the car dealers here will still be trading long after carzoo

    I wouldn’t feel to offended. I’m sure Mr Chesterman would say pretty much anything to try and float this company.
     

    It will be interesting to see it’s value in 12 months time.
     

    I’m amazed some of the manufacturers don't all get together and insist on buy back contracts when they offer big discounts to the lease companies. They could direct the prime stock through their own dealer networks and in effect restrict the supply to these start-ups.

    I don’t trust customers :lol:

    Did the manufacturers not do something like that before I remember buying a few Peugeot’s for my dad from the local dealer which had been registered to the rental company although I’m not sure if Peugeot just bought them from them think Vauxhall and ford did a similar thing

    Hi, hope all are well. I’ve just sold a Zafira b 2 weeks ago 60k and immaculate. The guy just called me to say the clutch is slipping.. It was fine when we did a 10 mile test drive but hay ho that’s cars for you. My local guy has recently retired so my question is anyone have an idea of price for a clutch kit and would you use an decent indi or one of these franchises that I wouldn’t trust to fix my wheelbarrow. I don’t want to go the cheapest route and he has the same problem 12 months down the line

    I’d probably use a decent local garage .. speak to the guy who’s retired see if he can put you on to someone he trusts

    Good god!

    If I look at the sales exec jobs, technicians and other roles the salaries have stood still for 20 years. GM/DP salaries have risen, although I'm sure they are coming down given the times we live in?

    Now call me old fashioned, but if you sell Ford's, you drive a Ford?

    Makes sense to me thats like selling iPhones and working for apple but using the latest Samsung galaxy yourself

    We had an issue with a Freelander 2, nearly every wheel bolt had swollen in size, so much so that we had to get replacement bolts, I thought the workshops were on the windup but went down and that had all ballooned in size, never come across it before so don’t know how common it is? 

    New one on me to mate
