  5. Sometimes you can buy said cars from dealers and independents when they want out my business contact does it sometimes he's bought cars from arnold clark. Retail Did more prep traded in an old px And came out in profit always does well with volkswagen transporters . Keep an eye on that beemer David
  6. Sugar is my weakness though
  7. You sound like me david I'm always saying that
  8. I was just saying that the other David I've seen cars in the auction sell for more than you can buy them from at main dealers
  9. To be honest you seem to have been more than fair and done everything correct I think another thing on your side is the main stealer not wanting anything to do with the court case . Try to sleep easy at night knowing you have done your best Good luck ..
  10. I was going to suggest using a new mot test station to test the car again or at least inspect it . Then you have 2 different opinions and its past 2 mots in space of a few months I agree about using garages inspectors out-with his area and again return to your premises seem to many horror stories before good luck again

  13. Hope you guy got a bonus is it just me or do you guys wonder what happens a lot of cars even sometimes basic run of the mill stuff at auction makes a mint .. looked at an a4 allroad at manheim it done more in the sale than there were doing at some audi dealers
  14. I like when they buy something else then you find out from a friend it was a total wreck that did collapse or head gasket away or something only happened to me once but did give me a bit of satisfaction was working for a small little car dealer at the time cheaper stuff was his thing had an old focus 1 years test etc it got took it in px guy in the local pub was looking for a car said he didn't have a good feeling. About the way it drove He bought a 207 from another garage mot station the exhaust fell off in the first week the wheel bearings packed up heater motor back axle went etc lasted about 3 months then he traded it in for a corsa on pcp sold the focus to another guy known to us he ran it 3 years passed mot with minor work etc and then sold it on for a few hundred think we only charged about £795 at the time of sale
  15. Often wonder what happens some of these cars they end up at specialist for telephone numbers-on ebay wish I bought some years ago and stored then Was looking at an xr4x4 on eBay the other day was telephone numbers Was just saying to a mate how who had one he said he thought he remembered paying abour 4k from independent auction at the times back in the day my dad had mk2 jaguars etc back in the day and often said he wishes he covered them up in the garage and kept them good .
  16. Or on the other hand you do happen to get the clean 44000 miles 1 owner polo corsa etc in px or little auction gem put it up at between £995 -£1995 dependent on year etc and you got the punter wants the four matching Michelin tyres and full main dealer service history types they always say I'm a mechanic mot it on the forecourt you say were do you work they always say something like aww asda packing shelfs now not been in the trade in years . or they want it absolute mint out it box and moan about the touched in bumper corner scuff on a £1295 polo they walk away you get other customer says it the best they have seen and just part with the cash without hassle funny old world
