  1. customer - the air con doesn't seem to be working .

    dealer - I didn't advertise it with having air con 

    customer - but it has it and it doesn't work .

    dealer - it doesn't make the car unsafe , once you've bought it go and get it re - gassed , shall we step into the office ....

     

    really .... how many punters would swallow that .

    i Just dont understand how dealers are surprised about auction prices. It has done it every single year for the 23 years I have been doing the job this time of the year.

    It's been like it last few months

    Thanks for the replies and feedback.

    I’m not too worried about the prices, I’m used to paying strong money at BCA!! :rolleyes:

    What I’m more concerned about, is cars being ‘misrepresented’ or having major mechanical defects hidden / undeclared.

    If there’s the odd gem albeit for strong money, then it’s worth pursuing, but didn’t want to waste my time if it’s just utter junk being offered on there. Although I suspect there is plenty of junk on there!!

    How do you guys know which site is which? Do you just recognise the back drops after collecting cars from there? I.e do you have to experience a few wrong ‘uns before you know who to avoid?

    Thanks. Can you say which site you’re at?

    "Not to worried about prices "  you'll get on just fine on there then .


  4. From guidelines on application form ... plates have got to be vertical , how can you have em vertical .

    4. Display of trade plates

    A trade plate:
    • must be displayed on a vehicle as long as

    it is visible and vertical on both the front and rear (rear only for motorcycles)
    • cannot be displayed inside a vehicle
    • must not cover the vehicle’s existing number plates (except motorcycles)

    Please note: Motorcycles can continue to display a trade plate

    Exactly .. punters ,can't live with em and definately can't live without em :)


  6. Long and short of it , sold a Zafira to a couple 6 weeks ago , fresh mot , service  etc, comes back with management light on and making a noise , sounds like cam, not a problem put it straight into garage to get done , cause they didn't get it back next day..  getting the usual I want my money back etc, tried explaining my magic wand is broken but like talking to a brick wall with an attitude.

    any way the wife keeps saying she can't go to work , during a phone call earlier from her I asked where she works , she said she was self 

    employed and was driving car all day for work, sounds  like hire and reward and buisness use to me. I will get problem resolved with car , but any future problems that she might come back with where do I stand can I refuse to do any more repairs  cause of the buisness use ,cheers people.
