  1. Not by much if you explain to the customer I've had it in the past
  2. I do agree with you i was just meaning watch they don't try and get out of it that way .only thing i can suggest is ask them if there willing to pay cost for a replacement v5
  3. I guess bca could argue they sent it to the right address and parcel force delivered it to the wrong one Ive had letter for neighbours before and always posted them through or if i didn't know the address just posted it back in the box and neighbours have had mine binning someone else mail why would u
  4. Various auctions inc bca Manheim and local auctions as well as a few online auction sites . I mostly attend auctions I answered the poll but thought I'd give a more detailed response
  5. No I don't think they are .if no video certainly plenty good photos from all angles interior and exterior
  6. Videos sell cars everyone is using them now I personally think that and good photos and videos work
  7. It was a few years ago now to be fair .with the discovery .ask one of the local auctions workers to run it though Mark they will have the value system for vans and be able to give you the figures.. hopefully should get you sorted
  8. I would think they would consider the cost it would be for a like for like replacement I've only every experienced it once with a discovery and argued it would cost x amount to replace was privately owned also never expect the first offer they ended up paying about £800 more on the second offer for the discovery .
  9. Yes in truth most customers are fine it's the bad ones that disheartening you my memory was always one of my better qualitys my dad always said I could have did a lot with such a good memory I'm sure the golf will fine hopefully the c class sells keep us posted all the best
  10. Trade plates are for road tax Not mot you can only drive a car with no mot to a pre arranged mot test centre and back to a place of repair . Then back to pre arranged retest . It's a fine for no mot
  11. Great that you did David makes a change to see the dealer win rather than the consumer who is trying it on and not genuine .
  12. thanks for the reply only just noticed it . Yes I might try something else soon still undecided .
  13. All good . Much the same as long as some stock moves seem to be having an easier life than yourself with all the scammers fraudsters and problems with cars . How did you get on with the golf and c class I'm Sure it will turn around Soon .
  14. As far as I'm aware there still trading there website etc is still up and running . Unless anyone knows different .
  15. I had it years ago with £1800 Astra kept coming back with faults had some profit in it at the time I payed a mechanic to fix a few things offended the guy a full refund inc his tax has the car back and drove it 2 days i knew the car was ok and was just going to run it myself for a.bit . He would. Not accept said grandson loved the car so I asked him to sign to say I had offered him a full refund including his tax which he refused never heard from him again . Then I heard later from a local lad that said grandson has been racing the car with his friends at a local country park ..still think to this day the he was making up faults
  16. Could you not find the gaffer tape that day lol that made me smile remember when I worked in a local garage an old Audi came in with a bean can and tying wire to fix a blow in the exhaust . For mot if failed on so many points we sold him an escort estate at the time sadly the owner or mot tester are no longer with us happy times back then the owner was a car painter and had alcohol issues .actually the escort came back and was sold again to a painter and decorator when the original owner lost his licence for drink driving .
  17. For insurance value I always suggest looking for a similar one on autotrader retail as he is going to need to pay that figure to replace the van well that's it true retail value if he was selling it
  18. You can always ask the question .
  19. My advice would be You should write in the terms and conditions of the sale that the car has to be returned to you for inspection by you or a garage off your choice . As per your situation as it stands I would just collect asap refund and put it behind you .
