  1. Hi I'm new to this Forum and i'm looking at buying a Drawing Board to go back to. Can anyone recommend a good Drawing Board?
  2. Don't be too trusting of a fresh mot if it is the mot station that you use regularly. We had a van pass an mot last week that had a 16 inch wheel on the nsr and a 17 inch wheel on the osr.
  3. There is a good point in this thread regarding overpriced cars at Auction. I was watching a Q3 for the Missus last year, I googled the reg and found the retail advert. The car sold on Dealer Auction for £770 more than it was being retailed for at the Dealer.....
  4. Can we go back to the super charging please. Are you saying that the Police were fitting superchargers to the 24v 3 litre Vauxhall Senators? I'm fairly certain that Vauxhall didn't. It was the same unit that they put in the GSI3000 24v Carlton.
  5. Good afternoon I've been following the Forum for a while, firstly, we are VAT registered. I am not after any advice really but I may be able to help with the ongoing discussion about online Auction appraisals. I collect the majority of the cars that we buy from DA, A4C and Sytner. I've got the usual horror stories, 'Needs a valet' in reality back seats are covered in sick, etc etc I went to a BMW dealer a couple of months ago to pick up a 2014 Passat Estate, I looked at the car, bit of damage on both bumpers, nothing too bad and the parking sensors didn't work, probably linked. I spoke to the sales manager and asked him who appraised the car, he told me that they didn't have anyone to do it at the time, but they wanted to put 3 cars on Dealer Auction and Dealer Auction sent someone to their site, who photographed and appraised the cars and then put them on DA for them. I can't see why he would make it up, he gave me £100 off as a gesture, just wondering if anyone else has come across this and also the point that, if they can't appraise cars properly, why would they support the buyers when sellers haven't appraised them properly? I hope that I have correctly punctuated this message.....
