Yeh I suppose, and if it is let out to 10 people in a month and 5 of them drive the crap out of it, over 3 years the car is going to be shagged!

Morning good people. Yesterday I was approached by a rep from a major rental firm. He just came and introduced himself as a Remarketing Account Manager and wanted me to come on board. What are you experiences with ex rentals? Are there certain things to look out for? Do they show more wear? I just need to hear your thoughts. Do you do well out of them, or would you just stay away? James

I have a Cmax in at the moment with the button that you press, and then it parallel parks for you. I thought YAY can't wait to try this... It ran over a traffic cone that it didn't "see" and kerbed the rear wheel. What a load of crap.

Seems like the iPhone is a favourite. I will give it ago and see how I get one. Thanks

Hey again . Just thinking about getting a new camera for taking advert photos. So before I started looking, I wanted to find out what you are all using, and what you may recommend. I don't want anything that costs thousands but want something that does the job and does the job well. I would say max budget of £500 unless anyone is using something that they really rave about. It would be good to hear what you think. James

I was quite exctied to see a big glossy picture of myself in this issue of CD Magazine, and I hope to be your page 3 girl one day or maybe even the cover picture! After reading the article, I was quite dissapointed with 3 things; I was referred to as "Lugger" , not James or Mr Lugger , which is a little strange. I sold a Honda Cr-V , not CRB. It was a car , not a motorcycle , I don't even sell motorbikes . It isn't a nag or a complaint, because as the article said, I like reading the magazine and looking at the stats and figures, however I don't really want this to happen to any future interviewee, because it was a little embarassing.

I had two finance proposals on Saturday, both of them have been declined by 4 lenders. These are two deals that are definetely not worth losing. What do you do in this situation, to avoid saying bye bye to thousands of $$$$$ . HELP Thanks in advance, James

Thanks for that

I have gone as far as having VERY heated arguments with a couple people in the hall. Some of the older boys don't seem to like playing games with the younger ones. But never had anything like that. I see people tampering with cars all the time BEFORE the car goes though the hall, letting down tyres and scratching paint etc. But never had anything like that.

A customer took delivery of a 6 year old Honda Cr-V with 98,000 miles on Friday. I have received an email this morning with a photograpgh of a stonechip in the windscreen (which is attached to this) and he wants me 'to do something about it'. I don't believe it is something to worry about, and in my opinion the car exceeds the conditon expected of a vehicle of this age and mileage. He has explained to me that it will cost him £75 because of his windscreen policy excess, so he is not a happy bunny. He calls it significant, although, on the photo, if the key is pressed against the windscreen, it is a very very small chip. 'I have identified a significant defect extant upon delivery'. What would you do in the this situation?

Thanks Chris. The nice automated DVLA lady told me the lines were busy and then told me I can find my answer online and then ended the call. With our local offices now closed, I can't even speak to a real person anymore about a query. #angry

I am in a little pickle. Customer is collecting his Golf at 6pm this evening. I am gathering all my bits to get all the tax for the due outs.... but have somehow misplaced Golf's log book. Is there a way or are there forms I can use to get the tax before he picks the car up? Thanks, James

That averages over 5 per day over 52 years, that is some achievement !

Great idea, going to start doing that
