I said the same the other day its not just motor trade but many high street stores

Sounds like a good idea to me .

There is something you cant explain isn't there

Original Car cost you 5k as aam said claim vat back on recon costs separate for parts purchased same with px car costs 7k any recon costs separate basically the way mark101 has put it and probably worded it better than me

It depends on its value and what seller wants if poster is buying it to use for himself as a cheap van does it really matter say on an £800-£900 transit wouldn't bother me if it was just a cheap runabout Though if buying to sell on it would put a lot of people off .and from a buyers prospective would look for one with good mot history but again its old van and things get to a value where thats really it and mileage etc don't matter so should probably be bought and valued on condition of the mechanics body work sills etc thats my take .

They often say stuff is sure check exempt too mostly landrovers etc

Thats a very good point BHM we have often said the assurances should be optional ..

Did a clutch and gearbox on on an Audi for a business associate of mine let them carry out the repair authorised the work no question asked and paid the bill in stated time so there is success stories out .. as well as the negatives theres a been a couple of them too.

Nope just been having read . More will follow watch this space no car trade related but I've said before it more than just that thats been affected look at thomas cook . Things not looking good there either .

I've noticed that to I've also noticed some auctions not getting cars from usual sources I've also heard some of the people at sales etc say about the poor plate change ..

Wishing you a better one tomorrow Andy all the best

I like it .

great idea with the charity ...

Maybe Antonio Cesal mctavish is happy with his current daily Mark lol I looked at a companies reviews the other day and it was very similar names like the above one not just one but every review

Basically I think he is saying he doesn't want any involvement with the finance company no commission on the sale off finance or able to pass the customer details on to them where the finance company pays him for the car and finances it to the customer is my take ..I don't really know

Seen that with a lot of Audi's looked at an a4 all road googled the reg and up it came with the previous ad for £500 less than they wanted in the sale and similar cars were about £1k cheaper from Audi dealer .

Guess the uwots are out there everywhere on all platforms

Yes and often the service books are unstamped or will have a sticker which says something like the previous owner of this car is contractually obliged to service which expains the absence of the first stamp Etc

It was the h beam last week ..and the floor the week before

Its a hard one to call I've said gumtree but as you say could be facebook toss a-coin i find those 2 the most prominent

Hertz have a site too . Was just using the quashai as an example alongside the astra it looks much better value The quashai would be close to that in auction but I don't see the Astra doing it as Tom says ex rental 1 owner but 100 drivers prefer lease stuff as most of it is one driver.maybe 2 at a push well cars anyway .

I don't think so either though most of the stuff still under warrant though arval has some good stuff which has been one driver company lease cars . The Nissan quashai looks ok could probably do ok but it's probably still a bit high to achieve good profit in my opinion but I think it would achieve that at bca etc although you would have to declare it as ex rental so would prefer a 1 private owner

I agree with your pricing as I said about £5400 is my value I meant it still probably cheaper at £6700 than a main dealer for a private buyer who was keeping the car . It's retail money though for an independent car dealer They all have similar sites now I' guess they will be one selling all the stuff with scuffs etc if you look hard enough it seems to just be the cleaner stuff on there . arval do something as do Hudson kappel scratch and dent but they sell salvage for the hire companies

My parents had one years ago since about 10 months they bought it unseen to order it and supposed to be ex manufacturer factory car being sent up till the book came back europcar to be fair it was an ok car in the 6 years they owned it never needed anything major apart from the usual wear and tear brakes tyres servicing etc probably had it been sold as europcar they would never have bought it i had a look at the website its not that cheap and i wouldn't pay close to £6700 for a 66 plate Astra I see the car about £5400 tops mean realistically what could you sell for unless of course your asking to buy it as your own car .
