Like anyone could make a grade 5 roadworthy?

Don't do it! As the saying goes "there be dragons!"

Sorry, I've got to ask, why change the first digit? And on the subject of cancelling the direct debits, be careful with the timing. not too soon not too late.

To be fair, not everyone aspires to own or wants to have lots of money tied up in a "German performance saloon". Lots of punters buy bangers because they do their own servicing/repairs, and know exactly what they are looking for. It's not about buying 'anything' for 2k, its about buying another 'focus' 'clio' 'mondeo' like the last one? In my experience

News just in: "Car dealer found innocent of anything!"

Everything you need to know is probably already here and accessed by using search. You may be treated 'robustly' by some members who feel that everyone needs to spend a minimum 4 years purgatory working at a large dealership before venturing out on their own. The reality is that many started the same as you, but don't want to admit to it.

Don't want to take this thread in the wrong direction, but I was in Brighton a few months back with my daughter, and parking in the town is hugely expensive, maybe on a par with my local parking?

The place I use can do a mess of an ex-police car to ready-to-retail standard including a interior steam and a mop in less than a day?

Hey, came passed your site today on the way to Rayleigh; plenty of shiny motors. Hope things are going well?

They should be paying you for advertising not you paying them

AT are in trouble. Other platforms are sitting on the fence like vultures waiting to pick the bones out of the fallout. These same other platforms can also see what some traders could/would pay for their advertising? It would be incredibly naive to think that these 'other' platforms won't be 'adjusting' their pricing when the coast is clear? Just my opinion

Sadly, any negotiation that doesn't involve the seller looking the buyer in the eye during negotiations is going to encourage silly offers

Maybe they're waiting to see how it all plays out at AT, just like the other players in the market

Perhaps we could help your research by filling in a survey?

So I'm getting the impression that even though its supposed to be a "trade/professional" deal, some of the vendors are treating it like a pot luck or Ebay sort of thing?

Agree, a bit early to be handing out the cigars?

Who was the vendor?

Engines are a ticking time bomb, and engine swaps are part of ownership. Especially when young guys start driving them 'hard'. If he wants something quirky buy a beach buggy

Don't do it!

Oh right

Just out of interest, as a member of DA, can you buy and sell?

With a special relationship like yours with the vendor it's a shame you can't make a deal 'without' DA?

Kissing donkeys while on holiday pretty much describes my ex wives

What's a holiday?

Oh, right. I didn't know you could check the cars over before bidding. That's always rule number one with prospective P/X auction purchases
