    I'm the opposite when selling stuff like that, I've had customers say to me are you trying to put us off lol.

    But rather be honest. If you are paying say £10k for an old RR, you really need the pockets of someone that can afford to run and repair an £80k car.

     " Always treat people as you would wish to be treated " Spot on Umesh and David business should be a pleasure for all parties involved. We  never judge a book by its cover. Always remember back in the 60's when I was a lad working for pocket money compounding and t cutting, waxing Ford Prefects guy came into my Dad's showroom scruffy as anything the salesmen ignored him. I'm saying "hello" having a bit of a chat, upshot was he wanted to buy a Zephyr convertible we had in stock. Passed him over to my old man deal done paid cash on the spot. Slightly off subject from our mans original post but thought I would share. Wish I had the Zephyr in stock now ;)   

     

    hope you got some tidy commission

    I’ve sold to plenty of taxi drivers over the years & never had any comeback. Not a single phone call.

    My guess is rather like van buyers, they just want a decent motor but understand once they’ve bought it they own it. I’d be surprised a taxi buyer expected comeback unless times have changed.

    I’ve found this as well mate

    Barclay Card deal with takepayments as terminal provider , Got some great rates , but i do put £200,000 a month min through it and how much makes a difference to rates , Debit charge here is small 

    I have the same set up and although only use it for holding deposits and the odd payment, they were still by far the best rates on offer..

    All my cars go on FB marketplace, I would say we sell 1-3 max proper retail cars a month, but who cares, it's free and I answer every enquiry.

    It's amazing for selling the sub £1k bangers SUPER QUICKLY. I mean if you stuck a 200k passat or octavia on you would get about 25 enquires within an hour.

    So yes personally I like it, yesterday I retailed a £3990 Ibiza through on FB marketplace, sold within 24 hours to a lovely local couple. So why would I ever pull the ads?

    Who’s good and cheap for doing the repair on the ecu for water ingress? I had normally used ecutesting.co.uk but they just quoted me over £800:lol: I did decline this and just paid their £65 test fee.

    They went nuts on price after they had their new building finished and fully kitted out

    I’m only 20 mins from them and had 2-3 1.3 cdti Ecus  repaired probably 4 years ago and got change from £300 every time!!!
