  1. I'd say pay holding deposit or stop wasting my time.
  2. On vans? standard mechanical inspection as per any vehicke wash hoover wipe inside touch in any marks then sell you can get away with scuffs and dents you never could on a 3-4k car imo
  3. Yep, don’t think I’ve kept one longer than 4 days when in part ex no vat absolute key
  4. Couldn't agree more BHM and it will likely be gone in under 24 hours. Last one I had was a Corsa at £250, owed me £50, rusty as owt but decent spec, didn't run right. some guy from manchester bought it blind and sent a truck down. £200 for 2 minutes work.
  5. Brutally honest eBay advert, with that particular engine in you will get decent money for it even with fault.
  6. exactly same as me then It seems to be mostly positive feedback which is great all round !
  7. very true this. Even turning a £600 p/ex Astra into £1300-£1400 can help massively over the course of the month.
  8. Very strong start here this month, both in terms of units sold, profits and overall the general feel is better and busier. Anyone else experiencing the same? It's nice to be able to say this as the last 3 months of last year were pretty dire. December being my worst trading month by a distance in 7 years. So far in 2018 January, February & March - Good April - average/disappointing May - Good June - Very good start.
  9. 90% cash buyers in my experience I deal in £2k-£9k
  10. Not sure why mark but some of your cars at the bottom are showing as £0
  11. I was price checking a few cars on main consumer site in the last hour and all was ok...
  12. I’ve sold loads of Mazda 3s - sports are popular too. Great cars
  13. We do well with Mazda 3/5/6 but once mileage goes above 60k on petrol then there’s a definite drop in enquiries...
  14. Take a few decent CC payments a month and it can really add up in fees.
  15. I struggled to get them looking good but our refurb man only charges £40 a wheel...
  16. We've done it before and it's worked, not everytime mind.
  17. My worst decisions too would involve working with/employing friends/family/relatives. It just makes sense at the time but rarely works out imo.
  18. 3 for us and one pending so similar although I closed yesterday
  19. Agree Grant, we've now dealt 8 out of the last 8.
  20. Yep same issue diagnosed as crank sensor i can’t confirm it fixed it as she hasn’t had it done yet though
  21. Happens on Ibiza’s too. It’s one of the sensors I will let you know which tomorrow
  22. Just closing up, took a phone call on one we had in this morning and only got 2 pictures uploaded, deposit left collecting Friday Really don't know where it comes from some times.
  23. We've really picked up, we've done the same amount business since last Friday as we did in first two weeks of the month. If it carries on May could really prove fruitful here.
