Not had a problem logging on....but if the site crashes , for whatever reason, and then we try to log back in we get the error message that we are already logged on and cannot get back in. You have to call customer services so they can reset your log in details....can be frustrating if a vehicle you want to bid on is close to going through

it,s not just up North....it's down south as well. THe messers are out in force lately.

You may have lost a potentional customer, but you may also have saved yourself a lot of grief if he had bought it. Always another customer somewhere. Certain types of vehicles always attract a certain type of customer. We only sell vans.....but nearly always steer clear of VW vans ( unless a real genuine bargain ) VW van buyers can be a real pain, there expectations are always to high, and there budget to low.

Hi, I have noticed there are a lot more provisionals at the auctions, we mainly use Manheim. The prices seem to be easy off a bit.....about time. Bought a couple this week at ok money.......still seem high but compared to the current prices not bad. Anyone else noticed the same?

Same here, have a good one and a happy new year everyone

If you are buying vans I would avoid the earlier Renault Trafic, Vivaro, same van..... had lots hassle with these, to the point of I don't stock them any more

The DVLA are definitely on the ball lately. Did a plate transfer and got the new v5 in 3 days. Also sent a v62 off and got the new v5 within 5 days. All the v5 we are doing online , for new customers, seem to be issued with a week

Totally agree. I,m waiting on a delivery from Manheim today. I paid in full last Wednesday, and was told delivery will be today. Just called them and got usual covid excuse on why they cannot delivery today as agreed. I ask them when they can deliver and they said they don;t know, maybe later this week!!!! Due to you know what!

Covid -19, The biggest excuse ever for lazy, incompetent service/work there has ever been.

If you scroll through the forum you will find lots of advice given ,to a similar question to yours. good luck

It is the same with vans ( we only sell vans)...even real junk Vauxhall Vivaros ( never touch them ) with 160k miles going for £1000 over cap clean. Hopefully will all settle down soon

Totally agree with that one. I'm not sure it would be worth the time and effort needed, starting from scratch , to try and make a living in that select market. I have a passion for classic/retro cars. but would not be able/have the patience to deal with the type of customer they attract . That said, you seem determined and I hope it works well for you

most stores sell hand sanitizer now, about £2 -£3,

Wherever possible I like to watch/ hear the vehicle starting......pre corrona auction days....have been caught out few times buying a poor starter, which can mean an expensive repair like fuel pump. Not always possible to see them start if your busy looking around, but it does help. The trained eye can easily spot dodgy paint/panels etc.

good point justina, personally we have had lots more enquirers in the last week. Spoke to our warranty rep today and he said business is picking up, which is a good sign, he has about 60 accounts/dealers on his books
