Was thinking the same when I seen it David .

A lot of advertising spam as well

It does that when the certificate of destruction is issued normally especially on the tax . Sometimes the mot history still works sometimes not .. Ive seen this to phone one factor with the reg it doesn't come up on the computer phone another it comes up fine .

As del boy said this time next year we will all be millionaires

You have to have had the v5 in your name for over a month .we tried it with an old audi once was in the guys name but had only been in it 2 weeks

Chuck in a snow ball you have a deal

Like it David tell me when your going please we. Can toss a coin Had a cousin done it sold his bungalow and him and the missus moved there and came back he's selling-his flat here and there and buying an other bungalow now ..

Look around see what similar ones are selling for . its got miles on its side wait it out see what happens .

Yes the £20 and £30 road tax seem to help as well I'm sure you will find an astra buyer eventually there is a bum for every seat .. Keep the head up

Good luck trade girl ...

Its not as easy as it once was remember years ago when independent and main dealers would sell you all there part exchanges . And company used to buy an own there company cars and vans and sell them to you as you say if you did have a source your not going to just give away having put the work in to find it in the first place . although the main dealers contacts I had have long gone one guy left and the other dealer closed down Remember the guy I worked for at time doing well out of an independent dealers astra and corsa in early 2001 hes actually trying to sell his house and move to spain . Since retiring

Probably friend .. is the 3 series diesel or petrol

Or any more astras .lot of people seem to being doing ok with diesels still .. guess thats the double edge sword it a diesel and an astra even the petrol ones struggle .

I love running in an old cheapie ideal from rubbish dump runs . Parking in car parks doesn't matter and going a 600 mile round trip in a day that cost less than a three piece suite or a months payment of a flash car is very satisfying .. though i do likea nice car to on occasions .

Arnold clark and peter vardy prefer tea cakes

Do you still stop off and the lands end car auction on the way back Jason

We buy any scrap ..

Sounds lovely would love a place like that maybe one day lot of nice places up here in scotland there a couple close by ive always liked .love piece and quiet

Or move to scotland the prescriptions are free and put it on it lol

This is true Mark . Lol i must be a full square never smoked vaped tried drugs and don't drink apart from very odd occasions too old for the hangovers and the alcohol wouldn't go down well my general meds now ..

Auctions mainheim bca and local ones like central also gumtree ebay and private also have a contact who buys from lease companies online and one that buys all the company vehicle and vans direct from an elcectrical supplier ... sounds daft but the guy who buys from the lease company has bought a car from arnold clark force-court did a bit more prep trading in an old px and did ok with it .. obv not something you could do ever day auction 4 cars and dealer auction are options also

I agree with you I always listen to others views and opinions. You seem to have found your market . Keep us al posted how your getting on .. have a word with the wife is right you have to choose your customer

Sounds like the way forward Mark . I know its amazing the amount of people who will say that well it is a used car on a 10 grand car I like the one with the £300 banger on gumtree they ask if it has service history and a spare key had another contact sold a lot of that stuff they offered him mobile phones as swaps etc I had a mk4 golf tdi few years ago it actually had Fsh 2 keys 2 owners etc real nice car years mot no advisories guy said it not full service history cause it wasn't done at a volkswagen dealer think about 4 stamps were done elsewhere 2 but a specialist and 2 buy a local garage to the owner Im not knocking it mate here to help if I can joined here the same as you to help people and receive and offer advice . I have and still do ok with 4k and cheaper cars and sell the clean Px as well . And its a good point there is a lot of buyers of 4k cars .the contact I mentioned Actually started in the same way as you as has built a good successful business from a small forecourt to two large ones with mot station etc may I also thank you for your manners and wish you good luck for the future And remember everyone starts somewhere lots of people forgot that and also some try and get to big too soon just a thought about starting somewhere unrelated but came inti my mind is when a learner driver panics and cars are peeping at them etc i think to myself didn't you learn to drive once

I've never had a lot either I always fix them and people seem happy I'm a great believer in it unless it the ones with the airfreshner is the wrong scent etc you know the types A family member bought a car from a dealer one time paid 5.5 k the car lasted 6 months engine management light on in three days after purchase went back to dealer who said fine when I had it needed 2.5 k work and numerous garage couldn't put it right they sold it to a guy who exported it for parts they didn't know there rights as elderly said dealer still trading when most try and do the right thing things like tht annoy me. what I meant with my contact something like say customer would bring a 1200 Astra back with management light on say maybe an air flow sensor he would fix it customer says thanks very much etc then they leave bad review saying engine light came on after 2 months wouldnt let me fix it At my own garage and had to travel 50 mile types . Guess that what he means .its not worth doing a lot when selling high end stuff from a wealthy area he stills sells the good pxs buy most get sold on to other home traders etc . I think if you stick to the under 5k stuff you can do well be best to stick to one market although I know some guys on here at auctions etc will do well with a 1000 pound car one week and maybe a 100 grand car the next infact I've seen guy who sells a lot of BMW Mercedes Audi etc buy a lot of older Mondeos and vectra at the auction recently .

Cheers lucky thanks
