  1. why not try selling it for £9001 seems to not work for one dealer up here of course balloons would have sold it quicker we all know balloons sells cars after all
  2. love this line,permission to use it please ling
  3. No,i learn't 20 years ago to never do this as you are at the mercy of the customer and they dont get better they get worse,with me though it was and is always they say if you bring it i will buy it,no they don't they just cant be bothered coming to see you but still want it at their price if you go to the trouble of accommodating them, might work on a 3 year sweety,anything else and you is a mug if you go there in my opinion
  4. Going the 2 miles to work today the traffic lights in the village were red as i approached,ive considered writing a letter to the parish council but last time i did they never replied and seeing as stamps now cost 12/6 im not going to bother, Signed definitely going senile
  5. all i hear are tales of woe from customers who are finally realising that modern diesels arent like they were and are basically money pits once out of dealer warranties,i dont look at diesels for retail because i self warrant so dont want the hassles
  6. you can prep your cars till the cows come home but most customers are still totally price driven first,the good thing is most look at the rubbish first then realise they need to spend more,however i find that these big pitches with lots of cars neither pre mechanically check their cars or even make sure they start on the button even though they are advertised as ready to roll so lots of sales can be made by offering genuine ready to drive away stuff that you know yourself will not be back tomorrow with a list and a moan,this is why i keep low stocks but everything is proper ready
  7. woo hoo now showing as taxed,it only took 9 weeks
  8. we've come to the conclusion here that the top suits at autotrader dont even drive so how would they know what customers (thats us as we pay their wages) want,frankly ive despaired at this malaise longer than i care to remember
  9. ive signed into the portal skipped in the yard and even had a coffee but i cant find this review button? screen shot or something possible pretty please ?
  10. im a bit confused here as i didn't know hyundai actually made any cars in this country? can anyone enlighten me
  11. This car still not showing as taxed on dvla website, there's no point in me ringing them again or contacting customer because i know i will get some blame somehow
  12. I agree wholeheartedly,ive always talked up top gear to anyone who knocked it complaining it was boys hour, but last sundays episode left me cold,i will tune in on sunday this week but if it doesn't improve it looks like i too will let the wife have use of the tv at that time for her bridesdead rubbish
  13. Up to about 15 years ago you could always pull the rear seat squab up back at base and find lots of lovely lolly (money) those days have long gone because if the transporter driver isnt pulling these up in the lay bye as he shovels his panini in his gob then (apparently its the new sausage sandwich) its the drivers at the auction doing it My pet hate in cars? toenails and or used nappies in an old carrier bag YUK
  14. for them to take it home and tax it at their leisure of course its a bit small for other uses
  15. On my invoice i now have a section for the green slip unique (ha ha) document reference number and i carefully print this number for the customer. why? Well i've always found that until the car is collected and paid in full then its not a sale and you might not get this green slip back Im sure we've all heard all the usual reasons for not proceeding with a sale, but sometimes i've taken the deposit never to hear from these people again
  16. I have never and will never do the in trade postage bit on behalf of customers for this very reason Its the same when selling cars,i explain to customers that they must make a note in their diaries that they receive the log book in 6 weeks or phone me or dvla and i stress to them never post off the new keeper slip,you tell em but most dont listen and log books do get lost in the post .
  17. well after phoning this morning and trying to be fobbed off as not the owner data protection bla bla bla i finally got them to listen to sense they still blame the post office even though i told them the post office only saw the new keeper slip they have assured me the car is now taxed and backdated to the date in december and we are to send the cheque in,ive given customer that job and told him to send it recorded delivery and to see if his car reappears as taxed on the dvla website in the days to come we shall see i was told to keep my cheque so will cash it in if and when everything seems sorted,a nice bottle of malt sounds good forgot to add i too have decided from now on not to tax cars for customers unless absolutely necessary, as jamslug says too
  18. please read this carefully i registered a car in my name in november log book came december car sorned via post sorn confirmation came sold car to customer in december new keeper supplement used to tax it got a tax refund yesterday checked online car showing as not taxed rang dvla this morning they say i taxed it at local PO in my name not so rang customer up to advice him not to use car till sorted he got a tax refund yesterday too he still has new keeper slip correctly filled in and stamped by PO he has also received the v5c in his name dvla say we made a mistake and customer has to ring them monday,they wouldnt even give me an address to complain to BE WARNED will update if they will talk to me again monday on behalf of customer as car now not registered to me hes obviously livid too
  19. hi in work and just confirmed ,be very careful with tradewise as the add ons you will need make them not worth persuing when i tried them eg........ sdp
