  1. Hi bit of bum fluff in some of the switches need attention Good effort 9/10 Never show the document ref number on the swindle sheet, someone with a grudge could advise dvla it's been sold or exported etc with it
  2. write down everything they say and you say ideally get an independent inspection go see the car maybe the customer cannot check the oil on this model if its electronic only with no dipstick i would probably be looking to negotiate something if they are genuine customers put yourself in their shoes ask not what can i get away with but what would i want if i were they remember going to court is the last step arbitration to a solution is always better than court unless you are 100% sure you are in the right a claim can be put in for £10,000 once things like car hire loss of social domestic and pleasure car hire bus fares hs2 tickets are added in think carefully theres a lot of members on here will give you very bad advice regarding court ,i walked away last time from giving advice
  3. well said hp theres no long term solution other than buying the thing back and blocking it to some other trader fool to get their leg in it
  4. I was asked to fit two sat navs in a car today which I duly did The husband wanted a female voice on his The lady wanted sean Connery on hers The problem is I'm now still stuck at work unable to close the doors because the sat navs are bickering which way is the best route to the buyers house

  8. i wont send any p/x out that might get taken to a 3rd party and trading standards could get involved i would rather put a pickaxe in the roof absolutely too many charlies out there these days,usually failed mechanics who now drive buses with their bellies hanging out but they know better than you avoid let sanity over profit prevail friend of mine got to the pearly gates and the guy with wings wanted to know what good deedes he had done in his life friend pondered then remembered in 1967 he helped his neighbour over the road,anything else the winged one said,yes said friend i once gave a begger sixpence,the winged one went to see a higher authority and the message came back that he was to give him his tanner back and tell him to go to ell
  9. i know of a long term trader always had an easy life who was subsidised by mates in the trade who filled his pitch so they didnt have to declare their cars,the trader hit a bad patch and also liked to snort a bit of stuff,anyway he decided to get a stocking loan and went and robbed a bank with it.................................no wait he got the stocking loan and put the cars on it he got off other traders,so they made him bankrupt (the finance company) took all his stock ,his premises are now a 2 bob car wash and i know of 2 people who want to give him a legging,because their cars are gone just sayin................
  10. someone i know bought one of these to me to have a look as it occasionally lost all power on a run,i kicked all the tyres plugged three different scanners into it and drew a blank,i think he just crosses his legs and holds his worry beads when hes on the motorway now come to think of it i haven't seen him for ages looking to the obituary pages now............................
  11. try using stimuclasp next time............i find it always a pleasure i got my linky flom nice lady spam net
  12. because having an arson attack on ones property always leads one to be careful what one says to future twats remember they know who you are and where your business is,you only have a slight remembrance and a long lost phone number just sayin.............
  13. Becky you need to chill I have known plenty of motortraders go do lally dong this job One was buried last month and I didn't even get the chance to say goodbye because of motor trader politics I seriously suggest you just stand back and reappraise if this job is for you Please
  14. Theres so much really good advice on here people would pay for it Becky you do realise markets change? Ive probably changed my market 13 times in the last 30 years
  15. just put'''' library image''''''' on a nicked photo,that way people who are looking for a 5 door golf in white know what one looks like
  16. are these ex body bag vans then? cant imagine black being an ideal colour for a self wassname trader unless you sell ringtons tea or are a chimmley sweep
  17. no i wouldnt extend its to give consumers time to settle in to their purchase and confirm it works as required to ask for an extension would say to me the customer is a future screamer
  18. That's a bit harsh If you read his post he has logged in to thank the original poster only I dont see where he has asked for any help This forum relies on fresh blood I've never introduced myself just like in my local pub I dont stand at the door shouting free drinks for all I'm off to try and hold the roof on, on my house now
  19. Tell him you have found accident damage on it and would prefer to not sell him it as a trusted customer The mans 80 he needs something manoueverable not a Bismarck Find him a nice yaris
  20. I would respectfully suggest you keep the full time job for another year whilst still trading part time,this job is very down at the moment and we leave the eu proper in dec,more concerning is due to the flu virus there is a possibility simple parts required to get a car ready for retail may become unavailable in the months to come,keep workingbuild up as large a nest egg as you can and reap praise next year if I was u
  21. I really dont understand why motor traders want to be respected as legitimate business people but daily want to flout the law on trade plate placement,ok some cars are a problem but most are not,mine are the old aluminium ones too so weigh a fair bit more than the modern plasticky pastiche ones so no excuse,also it is an offence to use those copies advertised on a well known site Just saying....things like compliance were never a motor traders first thought
  22. bob.................you are the weekest link.................................goodbye,ps talk to your local trading standards
  23. My ebay account was scammed over the weekend so ebay locked me out,it would appear my email address was hacked,I'm not sure on which device so maybe the same happened to you? I had similar a few years ago with an auction house and I told them to check my history and they would see that I never buy from that auction house and I had never bought a ford from themin 10 years,I closed the account a year later What more can you do other than what you are doing,hopefully you get it sorted
