It's actually disgraceful how many businesses are classed as private to get round the draconian one way ebay has become Shame but I suppose you can't blame them the sellers The new deal is Facebook marketplace but boy how are hmrc going to keep up on there

I told all my customers they were getting 7 days or your money back but didn't use it these last 10 years He is clearly a moaner and I have to say he would have failed my attitude test and the car he wanted always got a major problem seconds before he came for another apraisal just before he said it will be cash you know or we took a deposit on it only 10 minutes ago sir sorry about that, you must have passed him on the way in Life was too short to help the cares in the comnunity If they show signs of pissing you off today then they will definitely be back if you bend and show weekness to them before during or after the sale Some people live to create problem's Currently in the club watching the snooker and enjoying retirement Remember you are the captain and all customers need permission to board your vessel

He does right to retire early, I've worked the last year the govt stole off me and to be honest by 4.00pm most days I was wacked, hopefully he will indeed find lots to do because everyone this year has been saying what will you do once you go, well I won't have to get wet freezing cold and always chasing that sale will I, will I miss it? Yes but there comes a time when whilst you still feel reasonably fit to walk away and take the kings shilling

Don't slam the door on the way out Ha, we are all still here working as usual, giving service and customer satisfaction to each and every customer the old fashioned tried tested and approved way.................

I wouldn't do the deal as I insist prospective purchaser sees the car and l would then need a deposit on paper you have done a distance sale that might be difficult to prove otherwise I had exactly the same a few weeks back, a prospective customer was asking daily for a car I had but I was waiting for log book for, she offered full money for it unseen and told me she now lived 100 miles away, I declined any money and indeed she never completed the purchase I think she was trying to get a distance sale out of me by deceit Sound familiar?

Just had a chap looking at a car, he wanted to look at all the details so he can send them to his son so the son can inspect them, oh I said, what does your son do? He's an ex police number plate recognition specialist he said So I guess he got kicked out of the police and is now on gate 3 checking waggons in I don't think I will be letting one of my beautiful horseless carriages go to those muppets

Ha, about 25 years ago I bought an isle of man car, even the manufacturer a small company called Vauxhall didn't know how to supply me with a certificate of conformity, I was back and forth with the dvla so much they remembered me, can't remember how long it all took but the tyres needed a dam good pumping when I finally got to be able to sell it

You just couldn't make this crap up could you, I'm now awaiting to see if according to car dealer magazine I might have been overpaid Meanwhile a log book came this week, it only took 2 months

Beauty I've also remembered it was a v10 you nailed the tax discs on for the free dosh
-
I had forgotten about doing that

Just received a cheque for 35 smackers Apparently I overpaid between 21 and 23 Anyone else got a refund? Or am I special

My mot station are a mechanic down and lost the last one to a main dealer who offered 20g more to join them, I still can't get my head round that pay increase I had to have the front ball joints replaced on the merc truck last month.,i didn't fancy doing them, got charged 400 nicker, I could have done it for 70, so we know who's paying these eye watering charges

But you dont Give each and every car a fresh mot at point of sale by an independent mot station so no mates rules Sort out any issues so car has no advisories for customers or trading standards to nit pick on unless obviously it's something like slight corrosion to brake hose ferrules or slight corrosion to front subframe, you wouldn't change these items but you would underseal or protect them Have each and every car go through a comprehensive tick box pre delivery inspection Have each and every car go on a 10 mile drive to confirm no problems Do all this and you cut problems down by 99% If you do then get a visit by trading standards or heaven forbid you go to the small claims court you can prove you did everything possible to sell a proper sorted car prior to sale and this goes in your favour because it shows you keep records and show due diligence to the trade we are in Remember everyone loves us as they buy a car today but tomorrow if they even hear as much as a squeek tomorrow you are their enemy Finally always keep business and pleasure separate if you like a nice quiet pint
