Anyone able to watch a car go through auction?

........ unless he's either married to a solicitor or is buying 100 cars a week off them? -

I think it's dying slowly and gracefully, starting with the headlights! -

Yes and even if you opened a new account you'd have to buy a dozen 'bangers' to get back to gold, which again will cost you more than the £1500? Personally, if the loss of the account meant my business suffering in the long term I'd just pay up. Yes, principles are involved but it's business not a gentlemens club. -

So, they were working now there not? Classic. Will I need Dr Spock to work this out?

Why not just set up "webeatwebuyanycar.com", run it from a portakabin and just sling all the old shitters through the block anyway?

I'm sure I remember reading a few months back that they were all going out of business because the council were going 'crack down' on them dumping dirty water filled with chemicals down the drain?

I wasn't exactly looking on ebay to start with! Lol

Are these Chinese 'clones' really worth a punt these days. Back in the day they were stinking cheap (almost disposable) but I don't see any great bargains these days?

Funny you should mention that. For my sins I sometimes attend the Manheim thursday sale. If I decide to hang around for the evening sale I usually kill a few hours in Clacton/Walton on the naze. I reckon 50% of the evening sale ends up by the side of the road in the surrounding areas.

Smooth peanut butter for me!

Funnily enough my old launch died yesterday!

Yeah, I know Bromley. It's the posh part of South East London

Whereabouts are you based?

Trading from home?

Just out of interest, what is the current preferred way for 'newbies' to fund stock buying in 2018. I don't think buying one car at a time and building up is workable in a realistic time frame? Other than that, save up for 10yrs, lottery win or bank robbery?
-
You're not alone, most of us did. You can't really save up!
-
Yes, you make a good case. Sounds interesting Many years ago I had a trade colleague who got his accountant brother in law to set up an attractive very low interest overdraft facility for stocking. I've never heard of anyone being able to match it. He wouldn't do it for me!
-
Better than an arranged overdraft I suppose?

Quite interesting, what sort of credit limit is on a card these days?
