    The only reason they have traced it back to us that it was on our mid at time of incident. The car is same colour but older and not a gt sport like the 1 we sold. They are looking for the driver we believe as the police must have that car which was used in incident. Will provide with all the evidence we have put together today and take it from there, they can happily contact our customer who will confirm the car he bought from us with that reg is a totally different car and he still has it and hasn't had any issue with it what so ever:)

    What year would you guys say it was? Is it a gt sport?

    I was always the same until I started going to Aldi. A full trolley is about £80 cheaper than Asda / Tesco.

    A lot of there food is amazing too both the yoghurts and lasagne from both aldi and lydl is excellent so is there own brand soups I remember a hairdresser told me he went to germany and those brands were like heinz etc in the uk

    Hi Casper. An idea for you.These could become a ‘must have’ fashion accessory.Fold up personal shopping trolleys ( but with a trendy new name ) with logged in shelf smart technology for speedy shopping to take you to the food product you require in any major supermarket.Made with recycled parts and upholstered in Gucci,Burberry,Louis Vuitton etc. You just need Meghan Markle or a Kardashan to be seen with one and the global demand would be phenomenal.You could then sell out to Amazon for a billion.

     

     

     

    Haha like it .

    in truth  the old ladies and gents don't bother me in the super markets 

    always feel I've done.my good dead when asked to get something from the back of a high shelf for a little old lady

    Ha Ha....I know a bit about this subject despite not having a tartan trolley.Two sides to this.I think the rude ones tend to be men.Savvy pensioners often shop every day to get the best deals as food prices constantly fluctuate. My wife often complains about ‘ time poor’ younger people who fill their trolleys and who must have no idea of the price of stuff and then pay by credit card and don’t check the till receipt ( and don’t collect points ).I am told that the best deals at Sainsbury’s are mid month.Tescos can be Sunday afternoon after 4.M&S is easy to follow,for instance for the next bank holiday weekend they might be stocked up with barbecue stuff.Bad weather means poor sales and they have to drastically reduce it on Tuesday to shift it.I have seen my wife often come home with £60 worth of foodstuff having paid £15......Just general dealer chat before anyone gets upset.!

    Who else thinks us younger traders should club together and get tradevet a tartan trolley for Christmas lol :lol:

    I think in this line of work it tends to come in waves, you have a run of sales, then a run of messers, a run of problems it does not seem to stay constant for me, one week you could earn 5k then nothing for weeks or just problems to sort out.

    may be trade girl you are just saling  a little to close to the wind, been there done that, you just buy that extra car because it's a good price, job goes slow and messes the cash flow up and I'm still doing it, down a car and free up a bit of cash and leave a bit of breathing space and you will feel better with your back not up against the wall.

    this can be the best job in the world sometimes but I think the knack is not to let it get you down when the fires are burning all around you and just carry on like you don't give a dam

    Joys of motoring but on a career level your right though there's not a job like it at times . It not good when you hate getting up to go to work in the morning so always do something you love or at least enjoy .

    Yeah same BMW. First one was early in the week. As it happens the car kept kicking up an EML which turned out to be the chain. Chain was done the day before the second viewing. I stupidly thought it a bonus to mention it. Turns out it wasn't.

    Exactly! Have to be a mind reader sometimes. "Why was the cambelt done so early?"/"Why hasn't the cambelt been done?"

    "Why is the mileage so low?"/"Shame the mileage is so high"

    They're like bloody Goldilocks

    Yeah that's true. What's the way forward though? AD's approach will filter out time wasters, but then you never know how many potential faster sales you will lose that way. The more this goes on though, the more I see the benefit in AD's method.

    "Can we come have a look?" is starting to get on my nerves. I'm seriously going to start banning test drives unless they're intending to buy or leave a deposit.

    Well can i have a look :P:lol:

    Rookie mistake. Unacceptable on my part.

    I'll know for the next viewing, which as it stands, has cancelled.

    Another bloke on the C Class loved the car and the price, real nice guy but "Will let you know within the hour". I can't take much more of this.

    Keep your chin up TG
