  1. it came up as stolen as the new owner filled in an application for a log book to tax it if he had paid for an hpi he wouldn't have lost £7500 no tears for his loss here I'm afraid all the police did was go to where he lives and arranged confiscation had them at my place once due to the six chimneys auction house telling the police where we were rather than advising that a major dealer had lost a car I had bought and thus had put it on the hpi stolen list by them, I wasn't happy
  2. you did everything you could at the end of the day you know you can sell your vehicle again those customers have limited availability they might come back but its up to you if you decide to deal again on your terms. do you buy g3 Castleford have a look if you dont
  3. not much, if you don't undo the deal they will probably damage your car and then reject under consumer law. think about it they've had it 24 hours what they going to be like in 3 weeks put a peg on your nose and undo thed eal but don't be out of pocket but don't try and make profit either people like these are part of the job usually you avoid them but just to keep traders on their toes one creeps round your safeguards
  4. Can't believe today's report in car dealer magazine I was in the pub last night and all the screens had grown men bashing a shuttlecock in what looked like finals Everywhere it said cazoo so they must have been the sponsors. I explained to the wife who they were and what they did and how they wanted to break a working product so got a lot of money off suits who got the money from your investments in isas etc And then today I read this news we've all been waiting for Margaret thatcher will have got it lighter when these boys finally light the touch paper Wouldn't it be nice if in time we had a proper investigation into this business
  5. Cazoo now online to sell your car for you
  6. Got to say we used the Mercedes truck place at Stanningley Leeds these last 5 years, what a fantastic place, they had anything and everything in stock offered proper trade discounts and the service puts most other dealers to shame Couldn't even get a discount from the Peugeot and Vauxhall place, joke Say it again I'm glad I'm out
  7. Yes bought them repaired and welded them and if needed gave them a blow with sadolin with white spirit added, to be fair it was easier buying ford's Vauxhall and bl though as there were more dogs available in the line up Friday night at morley We traded from a lovely old mill, not
  8. Datsun 100a Now they were bad We got one tested one Saturday morning and it passed, the tester had been to a party the night before We got I back and realised it wasn't his finest hour as the inner wings weren't attached to the chassis rails We spent 2 days welding it up
  9. boss man took the hump
  10. Been out all day quafing ales in Durham and came home to read that the wicked witch is DEAD Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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.................
  15. 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?
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. 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
  19. Beauty I've also remembered it was a v10 you nailed the tax discs on for the free dosh
  20. I had forgotten about doing that
  21. Just received a cheque for 35 smackers Apparently I overpaid between 21 and 23 Anyone else got a refund? Or am I special
  22. 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
