Anyone got any decent websites for vehicle check?

I suspect that 'Catrin' may not look like her profile picture picture.

Just having a look at the listings, there is a lovely RS3 on there tonight for the buy it now price of £32,500. Autotrader states that this will be an estimated margin of -£696. I found the retail advert on the dealers website, where the same car is advertised for, you've guessed it, £32,500.....

That is one of the issues, it used to be franchised dealers only, but anyone can sell on there now. I particularly enjoy the buy it now cars that Autotrader say are over retail prices....

From our point of view, the more people that leave Dealer Auction, the cheaper the cars should be, as there are less people bidding in them.

You got any Nissan Jukes for sale?

Aha!

The post I have just read says '60k miles showing' in the first paragraph?

Just curious, if you are buying your stock from Gumtree and Facebook, and then selling them on Gumtree and Facebook, how could you charge more than you got the car for in the first place? Why wouldn't your customers just buy the car from Gumtree and Facebook the first time it is advertised?

I've never had any problems with him, I chipped them £150 on a car once. He needed some persuading though. Regarding Dealer Auction, yes it is shit, but they have opened it up to all traders, not just franchised, and at least doubled the annual fees, so I don't think they will miss the 10 or 20 a month that Holdcroft put through them, if they are going to do their own thing, but I won't hold my breath on that one.

As they always say, you make your own luck. Buying stolen recovered cars with no service history, to me is making bad luck.

They can ring the insurance companies to see who is covered for what, so unless it was 3am, they could have sorted it by the roadside. Basically, if it was covered, regardless of the MID, nothing will happen. On another cheery note, saw on the tv the other day that they will seize cars now if the tax is 2 months and a day out of date. We've had a few cars clamped recently parked outside on the road for no tax. We even had one clamped outside the tyre fitters on a private business park. The DVLA have subbed it out to a private company who are obviously on commission

How much would it cost to fit genuine Chinese wheels????? Personally, I would be more concerned that it was red....

Is it Prince Andrew????

Perhaps he was a cameraman in his spare time??

I saw the first one on an episode of Road Wars many years ago. Were you on that?

Wasn't U173387 sunk in the Atlantic in 1944?

That's not really correct as we have already established that you can be disqualified following conviction of any offence. You have said 'if you can be banned', you can be banned as these people were. Perhaps it is taken for granted now, otherwise everytime a potential sentence was given it would have to include, 'possible driving disqualification' as well. However, as we all know, following the ban on drink driving, there is no drink driving anymore. And I haven't seen anyone using their phone whilst driving since that was made illegal..... Sounds to me that you were an Inspector or a Chief Inspector. On a lighter note, next time you are on Youtube have a look at the Crimebodge site, he has some interesting videos about the extremely profession Police Forces of this country....

Just to confirm that I was correct then?????? Ha ha. Any more legal questions can be way directed my way.

I'm sure the law changed years ago so you could be disqualified from driving for any crime in theory, burglary, robbery etc. It was seen as a deterrent.... I may be wrong though, but I will check with some of my contacts in the filth....

I know they aren't used much anymore, but just be aware a bank draft is a cheque written by a bank that takes exactly the same amount of time to clear as a normal cheque.

Didn't VW do a Polo blue motion that was free to tax because they had removed the aircon from the standard model? Well worth saving £12 a month to suffer in our beautiful summers....

The last place I worked for had the same thing, first car delivered, guy waiting outside the house, driver didn't check anything, easy. As he was a good customer, he rang up and tried to pay over the phone for a 2nd car, but they refused to accept payment unless he came in. It's the delay in finding out the 1st payment is moody that often leads to a 2nd pop at it. As everyone says, no card payments!!!!

My understanding is that Red Diesel is the same as White Diesel, except that it is red?

He did mention he was going to buy a Focus?
