  1. Fuel cards befuel / rightfuels do the BP bunker sites DIESEL only as they hammer you for unleaded. They also do a BP list card diesel 92.16p+vat a litre currently we have 3 NV400's running daily so a little saving over pump price in our area 1.19p locally WARNING: don't take your eye of the invoices and pricing as you will fall into the TRAP and pay more than general public using them. none bunker sites charge what they want if you use it on there site. Credit cards don't work for us as we have 9 people filling up cars daily so massive job tracking it.
  2. My view is the car needs to be running before I except it on site. are policy is to buy assured not worth much but at least this is covered if a total none runner on arrival.
  3. we haven't been on furlough :-) home deliveries from day one of the covid crisis. we still won't put the prices up as we are hitting targets galore sadly re buying stock is hard graft.
  4. T cut isn't quite as good as the 80s sadly nope straight up we will re grade it, no discount no offer. #Enfield
  5. This won't be new but it's funny, slight chip to front side, due to massive workload I collected it a day late and got charged £5+vat and I was fuming. guys check this bloody car over as it best be perfect to assured report and BINGO absolute fail. not a penny for my drivers to waste there 5hr round trip for nothing. First failure since using BCA in the last 6 months, protocol for getting your money back is any clue's? will they process it without me chasing them?
  6. agree with that I'm a buyer for the company and prices are high, limited options on protocol for buying. We sold 174 cars last month and same the month before, then my argument is we are selling cars for £600 more than I can buy them at current prices. pray for PX's :-)
  7. Most of the stuff in the scrap yard is the above so I agree 100% with that. BMW's 2nd gear lately has been high on the list.
  8. Did you chip in for the bus fare home? ideal for a hidden camera show in the making.
  9. Interested in the fee structure seems nobody is allowed to pass on the actually fee's on which card you hold !
  10. HI all paid for all my current purchases hoping to organise the collections yet it seems not one has made the new online booking system as yet. I'm guessing it's a manual system and pretty much Mon-Fri only? shame as I do like calling them to get my storage fee's returned, when they are fully booked till my storage cost date. Got 22 cars to collect :-( new online system seems to be working over the dam phone call system, which was the most horrific experience ever. Have a great bank holiday Monday all OCO
  11. Another reason not to read a newspaper. people are idiots.
  12. I like the idea of VAT free on EV's mainly as I want a one but not at 27k @ 20k they offer better value. 6k scrappage can't see it working who has 30k for an EV with a 1-2k car? oh me but that's mainly as MY VW UP is my golf car :-) Ev's are way over priced UP ev 20k you must be stupid buying one. onwards futures bright :-)
  13. I've washed my hands with the whole system, getting BCA to reply to an simple email is hard work. I'm amazed how good there prices are but I guess they have so much stock and debt they need to shift it fast. Collections have been easier than getting a V5 :-) Case closed bored with BCA already
  14. Don't ask me why but we are selling, I'm not personally buying from BCA my boss is but i get to safely organise collections and then take the grief for missing V5's or to follow / to be confirmed. New to BCA just had the idea maybe docusafe would be available without trawling through emails and phone calls to no avail. as for sun tan also coming on very nicely along with bike and running legs strength. Might just stick to the easy life #CovidLife
  15. HI all bought a few BCA cars from various locations last few weeks, one of the few that are still selling cars and allowing collections. My question is description says V5 present but we have found many missing not ticked on envelope only to be TOLD docusafe have been shut and they hold them all for the whole group. BCA are pretty unhelpful once the car has left the building it seems. BCA users is there a way of accessing docusafe saved files? I did get sent one scanned V5 for a jag we bought but the rest I guess NO CHANCE? any light would be great , being an online seller we have had a few cars sell fast to NHS workers and armed forces. but no V5 is causing issues. Cheers all & stay safe
  16. Pray the new reg will ease the stock on various auction sites, AT rep came in and said they had 5k people join when DA went live. crowded market place, sky high prices
  17. Problem is we are a car super market and have 220 cars mainly online sales, so we aim at low pricing structure and move them on. So cap clean ++ isn't in the game plan for us.
  18. Agree with site isn't policed very well, trying to get anything sorted that goes wrong is a nightmare every time. you really have zero rights and paying for cars in advance then turns into even more hassle like Friday when a slight engine noise turns out to be a howler when the collection agent turns up the words un drivable used but description said nothing about nackered engine . rejected it but have I heard from the dealer after a email over a refund. NO NO NO Honestly not really looked my BOSS loves the site, it where we buy from and sytner. I personally need another avenue with reliable sellers. We have our locals that work but DA bargains are very very limited with a lot of sellers moving away from them. I guess with poor new car sales it's relative to see higher prices other than scrappers.
  19. If they had a roving camera man rather than a small box with a security camera for a live picture it would be more helpful. A nice live pic of the engine bay hearing it tick over would be ideal. Massive gamble with BCA but I've done it with other sites.
  20. WE use DA a lot and probably one off the biggest buyers with them, but we still got hit with the new £100 a month after they shut use down for a day and half. dealers wanted highest prices than cap clean yet AT is pushing to use portal for pricing based on there data doesn't seem to be working well. even the DA guys laugh when they read out some reserves. AS for gettting through to DA these days it's slightly better yet they can't alter important info you need like old emails being used :-(
  21. I've watched various BCA live auctions online lately and everything is hitting cap clean and above + fee's how do people make a decent living with these prices ??
  22. Good luck with it and welcome to the forum, great advice for us buyers and sellers
  23. Bet he was glad he did his research before he bought it off you
  24. This week we got locked out, the original £100 a year on old DA was honoured and then not after 2 months. SO rather that tell us we had to pay £100 a month they stopped the account. yet neither autotrader or DA could tell me why I was at a register page for a day and half Limited stock, looks like the dealers have moved away from the site. zero response or quick response on cars won (bank info or please collect the car) back to the auctions for stock. Still miffed how selling a car with a ticking time bomb engine isn't a waste or time and effort #RetailReady
  25. Agree do on that, new system is great for filtering but actually winning cars is another drama. portal tool is good but no dealer is selling at those prices. And as for descriptions they must have eye sight issues when viewing then writing it.
