  1. hi david was this a hartlepool based dealer?
  2. I go back home and watch the Bill, guilty pleasure
  3. you buy a car and it doesn't blow up
  4. I have mentioned my experiences on DA a few times over on the A/T forum, the garages couldn't give a monkeys as there are mechanic's cars on there and stuff they've bought off the street, my best tip is to get friendly with the guy who loads them on the system and call him, some places are a lot worse than others and lie through their teeth, what I have never understood is why it is allowed for trade to trade sales to be handled dishonestly, I'd picked up a 2008 1.8 astra cabby and when i got it back looked through its paper work and there was an estimate from the selling garage to repair it at £2.5k, I rang them up and had them bang to rights and got my money back, it was back on there the next day with the estimate out of the book pack and no mention in the appraisal
  5. youre paying an absolute fortune for your cars and sounds like the auctioneer is running you right up, also have you taken into account the tax man?
  6. you're giving a three month warranty on a car that has yielded £150 profit, you'll be crucified, to be honest, I'd try a year or two as a salesman and get a feel
  7. violence is the way forward, big guns and dogs
  8. and they'll get the auto trader trusted dealer stamp
  9. the issue with ebay auctions is half of the idiots dont turn up
  10. With the greatest of respect if you're having to ask questions should you be investing 120k of your own money?
  11. quickest was IIRC was just to turn up on the day with the proofs
  12. I sold auto protect for years and their reviews on various forums are terrible
  13. Just picked up a nice Corsa SXI from your place William through Dealer-Auction, sorry to derail but Alastair is a nice guy!
  14. yes, but it is our revenue that keeps A/T going not the private buyer and there is no magazine to buy now either
  15. Well my cars are under what auto trader tells me I should be selling for so wonder if it goes both ways?
  16. Scottish Motor Group are impossible to follow online, nothing is ever in order and on the whole the descriptions aren't available
