Have a chat with the girls in the office. I usually find Colchester pretty helpful to be honest. And stuff does sometimes turn up in the post after you've sold it,

3dr Astra's?

I agree with tradevet, the Midlands is the 'sweet spot'. Between Manheim and BCA there is a huge choice.

Perhaps they found this thread?

I have accounts with both BCA and Manheim, the only difference is the logo. They are both much of a muchness. What is the deal with buy it nows? Aren't they just the old shitters that didn't sell in the week?

Spring is here now. I know because my grass is growing again

Yes, personally I think there are way too many sharks in that tank. But each to their own. Thanks

What make?

Anyone have an account? I'm not a member and had a skim through the website. I just want to know if it's possible to identify the source of a vehicle on their site, whether a car is entered 'insurance direct' or via a third part/private owner? Caveat Yes, I know about Copart! "There be dragons!" etc A friend in need is a pain.....

........ 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.

"enterprise to Spock, come in"

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.

If it wasn't for the abundance of chocolate I'd be in tears too

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
