    Some of you guys are showing your age here! I never remember Vat being any less than 17.5% :lol:

     

    They put it down to 15% for a bit during my time in the trade, so last 8 years :)

    Yeah, maybe. Her Indoors is permanently welded to Amazon. 

    I’m talking about a google search though. eBay is no nowhere by the looks from my non-scientific search. 

    Yes sorry I think you make a great point too.

    Younger generations just not using eBay perhaps

    I still use it as always had an account and just find it easy but a group of my friends found it highly amusing I still ordered things from eBay and not Amazon or elsewhere?

    I agree and also we seem to have lost some models that sold well or their new equivalent has died

    Fiestas 2002-2009 cracking sellers - new ones can’t shift (see other thread)

    Ibiza and Polo - again can’t shift now unless cheap as chips

    Celicas

    Vectras and Astras - laugh if you want but we shifted loads. Hate insignia and the gearboxes in them and the new Astra’s 

    307s great sellers, 308s NOTHING but problems 

    Xsara Picasso brilliant cheap budget motoring and rarely any issues. C4 grand Picaaap  maybe worst car ever made l.

    Cant buy a load of v50s, s40s or v70s with the 1.6d as have too many issues 

    don’t want any ford auto power shift or early 2.2 engine so rules out a lot of those and Mazda 6s. 

    Micra - k12 flew out, newer ones stick, same with Yaris 

     

    probably loads more examples if I sat and thought about it 

    107/c1/Aygo seemed to fill the void left for starter cars when fiestas Yaris micra died a bit they now seem expensive , need to be sub 3k and also seem to be a decline. 

    Also used to love a Tigra or a 206cc. But won’t touch 207cc. And Astra twin tops are wank

    Used to sell loads of Saab’s but now hard to source.

    Unless it’s awful we leave engine bay and explain why. Got sick of people saying it’s been cleaned to hide leaks or whatever

    Probably once a month someone says they’d prefer it clean so we explain we are happy to do so for collection now they have seen it ‘as is’.

    Just had a text from a customer about an old 2003 Volvo V70 I sold him, he's had the anti skid service required message come on, anyone care to take a guess as to what the most likely cause is? 

    Also, do you think I should let his local garage look at it or try to get it back for my chap to look at? 

    Cheers!

    Last year we did 2 Easter Friday, 1 Easter Saturday and none Sunday and Monday 

     

    this year EXACTLY the same so far, so I’m closing fully tomorrow and going to the cricket and Monday I’ll keep the phone on but you will really have to twist my arm for an appointment!
