  1. I think all the business model does is limit the chances as you say joe public will always be seen as joe public by the courts regardless if the car is sold as seen or marked on the invoice etc and car dealer as car dealer if in the trade Although i think trade vet is right also if the terms and conditions are displayed .on the walls and invoices and a customer signs an invoice then its a grey area
  2. I think when you think of it you will be right trade-vet if the terms and conditions are clearly displayed and customers signed a declaration there is less if any chance of comebacks . Although im not sure i get from a customers point they know what there getting but would every customer see it like that .and if push to shove could probably bring in the consumer credit act and trading standards at the very least i would freshly mot all stock .
  3. Calvin owns a few business models he owns the car buying shop as well a long with his brother which he was offering franchises for also a clothing brand naff co and binca also has a retail site as well as the auction one I guess its similar to a lot of traders on ebay selling with no warranty px etc I've seen a few do this i suppose unsure of the how it would work though if some one paid 5k for a car and it went bang . As i would think although no warranty is offered sales of goods act would still apply ..
  4. Umesh very interesting you always come as good guy with sensible conversation may I take this opportunity to say I hope you and your family are staying safe and well during these tough times . stay safe and take care .
  5. And leave the px as is when it actually comes in if your keeping the stereo and leaving a hole in dash tell us and putting the alloys back to steel wheels tell us its not so bad now but used to be years back .think we have all had the ones where the brand new correct bosch battery on first viewing becomes an unknown flat duffer brand thats to small when the car gets here we now say we have to move the car to where its to be parked once bitten twice shy .
  6. They said they will give there customers some slack on the bills due to virus got a couple of months free

  8. Another one would be declare known faults on a part exchange would be good id respect there honesty if people did this some do but most don't funny thing is the people who trade in cars with loads of problems are the first ones back with small faults ,
  9. This is true the community council are putting signs up here saying people shouldnt be walking dogs in a derelict hospital area and taking the registrations of parked cars yet when you read the latest police guidelines it said this is allowed if its a reasonable distance from a person homes
  10. Doing the same jacket and shoes at the door Or at least thats how they will see it
  11. And the paint under it remember Doing that on a smiley transit grill that had been repainted and a new grill fitted and not prepped right in my defence the angry even the angry workshop boss agreed .and the big boss never mentioned it after it was touched it up
  12. We used to remove the seats on the smiley transits steam cleam them and dry them at the space heater repaint the wood panelling etc and steam clean the van interiors they came in every 3 years- 5 years from the local painter and decorator company infact I just remembered a fire damaged one that we savaged for parts from the same same company guess someone gut runs on a skirting board or something .

  15. But still no mug ? I noticed on lings website you can win badges and mugs back to the virus same when people said it or thought it only affects old people .. and people at risk I'm talking doctors and specialists
  16. remember and call it retro and the distressed look . It works for second hand furniture shops remember walking past one selling a ripped torn and well worn chesterfield my friend had a mint condition ones at the time and says to the owner what would it be worth he said less than his one because of the above reasons
  17. Is there anything any of you miss from years ago I remember there was an old gent would sell some tyre paint etc at the local auction small family owned auctions are another. Local family owned dealerships are also starting to become a thing of the past anything in general people miss .
  18. Just be honest there nothing worst than a customer trying to make up faults. Etc to get money off for example if someones comes in say they have £2600 for a £3000 car but its only worth £2600 because there friend said this or that or it has a small age related mark etc id be like its £3000 where as if someone came in said they liked the car but could only afford £2600 id work with them looking at days cars been in stock what we need out it etc
