It's me

just in case it doesnt actually get exported make sure all paperwork immaculate as it will be you as last trade owner if anything hits the fan because dvla wont get a paper trail as he gets all v5 less the already missing into trade slip i had one last year ,fortunately attention to detail saved my bottie oh and take the money

my answer would still be the same car stripped without your authorisation car not able to be proved faulty at sale time what kind of garage would strip down to find a water leak rather than doing basic checks like pressure testing block testing co testing because all they can do once stripped is a skim of the head which would be difficult to confirm as faulty unless once on the bench and they see a crack or get it x rayed no way would i offer a contribution they are doing it all wrong

they can keep em all i would rather pay running costs than pay through the nose for lemon landmarks because thats what lots of them are that we make on quick decision impulses because we feel we must buy something take a few days off and decorate the outside lavvie

get to the car soonest,arrange recovery to your base,why? because otherwise police preffered recovery get it and charge you a fortune per day storage i cant claim these charges on my insurance if indeed i wanted to,can you glad its been found for you what can you do in future? just do everything you can to slow things down let tyres down on the banger in the gate hole nightly if you have to and get a complete steel covered steering wheel cover or chain the steering wheel up even consider buying an old fork lift and parking that with a well hidden remote starting circuit

weve always had january madness its best to keep your hands in your pockets for a few weeks till all the fools have their fill then start buying

i wouldnt do jack

when it comes back get a decent reader on it that shows where and when it flashed up the code, it might be something as simple as a missed gearchange or 2nd to 5th gear

tell that to the buyer when car comes back in 3.99 weeks with a problem and see where it gets you in the bigger picture

i wont do sor i either say ive spent my budget or i have already a very similar car so thanks for the offer but at the moment i can only offer advice as to where to sell it to you or if you know its a good car and can bring it back to retail and be prepared to obviously warrant it and pay for the parking its taking up offer a price thats happy to everyone they can only say no if you want a business partner get one,dont have a customer ringing you up asking how its going because they will

merry dooberry everyone

Gets me how they all drive like they stole it on the test drive and some don't like being told to slow down until you explain the implications that THEYwill be getting the nip

lots of idiot txts again, messages from ebay and then a call number not identified,i guessed the last one was bob up the road trying to wind me up but it wasnt they came they saw they left conkers

not to be so soft

i used to buy ex police chevettes they never checked down the seats of those either but they used to come with a brand new engine fitted yesterday only roof holes to fill and the cars were ready retail back in the 80.s

im sick of badly worded txts offers and no shows why dont people phone anymore

well done its the focus ( or foci) that normally lose comms with the body computer

are you sure its not the sickly sweet smell of a leaking heater matrix?

The honest answer is better appraisal ,this way most issues can be found before purchase, i always used to never take cars for test drives before purchasing off jo public till i went through a spell of a few needing clutches,remember like buses theres always another car for sale behind this one so if its too cheap mileagy or too many obvious faults tot them up on woodbines packet and see if the sums fit,if not dont buy it no matter how much you want to and if one does get through sit down at work get a sheet of paper and work out all possibilities of cutting down your loss so repair then retail? auction? ebay? keep as a spares car if you have the room and its a good source of spares like say a mini? or scrap it if its more hassle than its worth

ive been advised not to comment so im not going to suffice to say ...........mm

i would expect the speedo head has an eprom chip on it that stores the mileage and it compares to the main body computer every time you turn the key if the £110 fee can cure the problem and it keeps you in profit then my advice is swallow it

get him some head and shoulders then

i used to think like that i prefer to use my own money so i can decide what to stock etc too its why i started working for myself i would love the job more if i didn't have to deal with customers of course ,because buying is so much more fun than selling is these days unfortunately

these same people did away with mot's on old bangers so you can now pull a barn find out give it a hose off and then insure it and drive away or these same people have watered mot standards down so much these past 8 years to the point its a farce with regards caravans it should be mandatory that chassis numbers are checked on a yearly basis before being accepted on insurance premiums as a way of stopping wholesale theft and moving them about the country dpf it was supposed to be that it was read via obd but this was objected to on the grounds that some vehicle or equipment could be damaged if the canbus had been messed with a classic example is an aftermarket stereo fitted wrongly to a vw group car

quick fix? italian tune on a low mileage car get it warm then go for a 10 mile fast drive in intermediary gears cheapest fix ever for low mileage ex vicar used on sundays motors only or low mileage walking stick damaged sills motorbility end of term cars

just in case lawegistics havent mentioned it write everything down on hard paper with dates and times its a long way to court time and easy to forget things or lose things oh and dont let the b*stds grind you down because this is what these people play on and hope you dont turn up on the day if the lba turns to a court claim
