Valeting - if you can't do it yourself...
metcars replied to Linctrader's topic in General Dealer Chat
Talking of valeting and not that I like to 'burn' fellow traders, but check out the 'stainage' on the seats of this car? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201704104266470?price-to=2000&radius=50&maximum-mileage=90000&exclude-writeoff-categories=on&advertising-location=at_cars&year-to=2006&model=207&onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=New&make=PEUGEOT&fuel-type=Petrol&sort=price-asc&aggregatedTrim=S&minimum-badge-engine-size=1.4&quantity-of-doors=5&postcode=ig62ln&maximum-badge-engine-size=1.4&page=1 -

Didn't there used to be a guy call Paul Mimmack who sold ex police vehicles. I think he had an article about him in Autocar magazine back in the day -

Maybe the turbo wasn't the only problem

There are still huge amounts of punters that actually believe cars are priced with a profit margin of 90%, and in that case you can afford to take a huge chip without hurting.

I seem to remember reading that there are a number of vehicles that require resting voltage to be way over 12v or faults occur

It's been many years since I bought trade ins from a dealership, probably nearly 30yrs, and in those days there was a pecking order of trade buyers. It always worries me when I hear about guys who have a 'special' arrangement with a local dealership to be a sole buyer; why would a dealerhip want to do that?

I have a nephew that buys and sells a lot of companing/caravanning stuff. It all goes on Gumtree and sells faster than any other platform

Apologise if you've already tried this but you used to be able to buy coolant hose repair tape (not insulating tape) that you would wrap around the leak like a puncture kit, but I've not seen this for some time. I think I've still got a roll in the shed somewhere; again, sorry if you've already tried this

How much is a hose?

Could be good news if points mean prizes
