Ticking over not breaking any records .

I meant watch an identical car from say a main ford dealer with direct from such and such on the window will always in most cases do silly money compared to a private car or independent trader car at auction but in reality may be no better . I put an old C4 diesel in fsh 120 k miles tidy enough with good mot 2 previous owners px at the time did £800 an identical model car apart from was mine was blue it was silver and silver one 6 months older 150k no history and 4 previous owners did £1250 due to being a main agent trade in

The magic main dealer direct sticker works wonders . I've put better cars in that make less same make model with less miles and better condition ..

Very common some times they even call you asking if your still interested .

Insurance You need combined cover with roads risk and public liability insurance inc. as for pricing the best thing I can suggest is autotrader etc we buy any car but be prepared to pay more cause there stuff goes to auction anyway ..

Thanks for the heads up i wasn't aware . Ive always used the rep but know its not an option for some people will deffo give the valet pro a go

Ebay does brisk also . I Will have to have to have a look at valet pro always looking for new products to try ..

Most pop you onto gold card straight away now if you speak to them I've known 3 people do it

I spoke to a fuel supplier at a haulage event who supply's oils white diesel and red he told me red diesel standards are stricter than they were say 10 years ago with modern diesel engines in excavators tractors etc

There is a used one in ebay for £70 and and new ones for £115 tenner better in your pocket I got recommended titan hoover on here said to my friend he bought one its a great little machine .. thats going to be my next purchased as well as a new vax

All the scottish branches do that now too think its pretty standard

Thing is it doesn't say how long they would suspend it . So could end up costing you if you lose out on others car etc .

You have a contract with the auction when you buy it so have no choice in my view a colleague of mine I was buying for did it once when viewing a car that was next up online at an auction i was attending and I asked what he thought of it in the end he did all right out it the car he accidentally bought though suppose you could try a sob story but as you said yourself they could suspend your account or ban you from buying from all Bca sites your account will be suspended online and physical auctions so your account would show suspended on the office computer someone else may know different but thats my take .

I had something similar years ago think i was still wearing short trousers at the time lol Landrover 90 had spot lights nice bull bar at the time when they were popular radio cd fitted nice alloys when the time came for them to collect discovery at the time it was a different car and total as standard Took £500 off the px price an still made a healthy profit selling it to a landrover specialist funnily enough i seen the same car on ebay last year still going strong ..

Ive always been that way try to help and please everyone sometimes its actually a weakness cause you never can thats how I got the name casper as i take flowers to the graveyard for a neighbour for her husbands grave who is no longer fit to go one off the lads started calling me it and it stuck although I've been known to blow the odd gasket or go ape at the odd mechanic or painter/panel beater in my time.one thing I hate is rushing sub standard work or its doesn't need that cover I lost it one day with one for not refitting an engine cover leaving it on a workshop floor . but is mostly decent people on here so I always try to be nice friendly and polite with the ladies and gentleman on here Ive my old dad to thank for thats who said when we were kids manners cost nothing and treat people as you expect to be treated another one he said was if someone gives you advice always take it if its good enough use it if it doesn't work go back to doing it your way . he sadly getting older by the day and not as fit as he once was everyone offers good advice here and I try to do my bit good luck to all

Thanks will do

thats cheered me up

Im actually going to get another vax . After you mentioned it before

I have a bissel carpet cleaner for the house and steam cleaner by them it does a good job on car seats and really bad head linings

I try my best Mark mate lol

At least it sorted Tony . Takes a bit of pressure of you .

sad though isn't it cause 90 percent are good customers happy with service give good feedback and that other 10 percent are a pain in the bum ..

Fingers crossed for you

Made me smile but as you say predictive text is a pain sometimes and could have gone wrong with a new customer etc . At least you knew the good lady and she seen the funny side . I was thinking my first thoughts were maybe having not even done intentionally on purpose but maybe due to bad driving who knows . as you say pick up the pieces and move on

The way I was taught. Mark slip of the finger . Was out and about and using the phone my old eyes not what they used to be need to start wearing my glasses or get a bigger phone Normally I use the the big tablet or desktop computer screen . Thanks for pointing out my errors I'll go stand in the corner and have corrected it now . Have a lovely day .
