Certainly has slowed up a bit this week

Yes its turning into minefield. Here some examples Brough Kia Proceed amber engine running/smoking - got the car and paperwork had non runner written at the top. BCA refuse liability saying it still stats and drives well yes it does start and drive but sounding like a old women being dragged around the road. BMW 3 series brought with red light engine smoking - got it delivered engine not smoking at all. Flew through the MOT with minor advisories. Another BMW 3 series- photos showed an Andorid head unit has been fitted .. got it delivered head unit missing. BCA refusing liability stating the issue should have been reported whilst vehicles was one site . It turning into pot luck and i think i might be changing to manhiem - are they any better?

Have you noticed most of the BCA stock is marked with engine problems. Never seen so many cars with engine problems. Ive had one come through the other day where it said engine was smoking. Had it delivered drove it around no smoke at all. Has just passed its MOT with no work needed and a new service put on it. Youtube tyrekickers guy thinks it some legal advise as they will stop any comebacks in case the car goes bad.. or something along those lines.

thanks i have lodged an online claim but think i will call them later today

I brought a car from BCA on 8th August Kia Proceed. Was brought through UKCGR Trade. Had it delivered at the mechanics i usually used and its been there for a few days. Just went to collect the paper work for the car and on the plastic file they put the keys ,V5 etc in they have written down on there its "NON RUNNER" but at the time of bidding this was not disclosed just it requires some attention. Can i make a claim against them stating they did no advertise correctly?

Let me know how facebook instagram adds work for you.

Do you do more newer type of cars?

I got bargain package £356 quid a month for 6 cars.. one car above 2.5K rest below which i find a bit strange as market has moved up in price points. Probably need to call them and try neogtiate so i can list a bit higher priced cars No weird name enquiries most of them are pretty genuine/ But there are some crazy people who expect to see full show room condition car at£ 2.5k . One customer today really done my head in today.. wanted 600 quid off the car because there was some advisories on the MOT e.g. corrosion etc.

I was PASYG on autotrader but recently signed up for a package. Its not cheap but its worth getting a package as and i have seen leads pick up with the package. and it car does stick your not bothered about have to fork out advertising costs again as its already listed.

Yes its very slow especially when you do it part time. You need to put some time in i do about two hours day making a shortlist. There is always a risk element but you are minimising the risk or accounting for when you bid on the car. Just got a Proceed from BCA books at £3k i paid £500 odd including fees. I know it needs some work on it though so that hopefully should be accounted for

Use a DSLR dont use a phone camera..

I have been trading for about a year .. it all comes with experience. I source my stock from BCA but should be looking at other routes. Generally BCA because i do it part time and buying privately is difficult... Cars i supply are budget below 3k cars so not really thought about the PX route but looking as using this as an option..

IF you know a PDR or smart dent/scuff removal guy around swindon ways please share the details

Lots enquiries not enough buyers.. i got 4 to sell i a small dealer lets see how this month goes. OIl and other parts have gone up soo much

IF you dont own your own workshop is it still worth getting self warranty vs 3rd party? i have been doing a b bit of both. Some warrantywise and some self warranty. But i dont have my own own workshop so am i exposing myself to some risk here. Advise welcome

Hows everyones easter been... it looks like its gone very quiet

I like the new look .. about time.

it really is mental someone quoted me second hand clutch for £120 on espares.. i think this is an indication that car prices will go up again

Main dealer has stock but 165quid plus

Hi I got Hyundai i10 2010 - nice car main dealer service history, MOT without any advisories. Clutch felt a bit heavy and took it my mechanic he said cables fine it needs a new clutch. But look on Eurocarparts no clutches available. Other sites also hard to find . Is anyone else struggling for car parts?

I noticed abit a of slow down in price as well.. but there are a few which are going quite high

Get an Autel AP200 .. You pay for what you use almost

They just brought WOMA.. which was West Oxfordshire motor auctions before. I dont like their website.

Same here i a new to the game. But normally i sell within two weeks. One week on and i havent even had a call yet.

No wonder my Micra isnt selling ..
