It was a road tax thing Under 1500cc was middle roadctax so that's why they were good sellers Used to sell a lot of 999cc fiestas too but only after the rings had been replaced by 50,000 miles because otherwise they were a death trap to drive with absolutely no go yet a fiat uno with the 999 cc fire engine in was superb

  8. well im glad i put my coffee cup down before reading this
  9. do you really want a reply to selling cars you have no idea if they are safe and want to sell on ? thought you were going to do the job properly
  10. you cant go straight into retail unless you are a finance assistant (ie not a proper motor trader you are just buying and selling a commodity) the real work starts by buying and trading on and increasing what is usually minimum start up funds this is why most of us proper motor traders started dealing from home after buying from main dealers /auctions peoples homes fettling and either trading on to an established business or reblocking to catch jo bloggs his missus and his cute daughter with no bra (can i say that) once you see that theres more money in retail if you can be arsed to do the detail its the next progressive step next step is car has fault can you repair yourself or pay to have it fixed its all down to time management versus funds versus diminishing returns so theres no answer really i started dealing very early in my life but buying cars from the block back then with proper proper dodgy full mots unknown till driven away by the way was a real curve ball learner as i had no one to learn from the mistakes had to be taken on the wallet

  17. dont panic remember an even newer log book came out a few months back go back to customer explain situation ask them if they are willing for you to tax it and possibly pay the £25 fee at a local tax post office to get them on the road
  18. very unusual judge says get a choice of 3 independent assessors willing to give their verdict on the car does this mean like an independent dekra assessor or just a garage technician/mot tester willing to give a report chose very carefully who you chose as you do not know what strings this customer might be able to pull use much diligence in why they picked the ones they do its good so far dont lose the ace now concentrate on getting the right result
  19. can i say, im miffed you havent come back and told us you were going to court so we could advise you further before the day you really need to make this so called tech answerable in court or have put to the court beforehand you wanted an independant inspection (its too late now and in my case i was denied anyway) regarding the future for anyone reading you really need to lay down thick on your invoice that they are buying a s/h car have been on a test drive and have nothing to report,get them to sign it and also make sure ANY car you retail has a proper pdi with records /a new mot/ and also the customer signs all this paperwork keep it all together because if you dont and you need it its sods law somethings gone missing i keep all copies of everything on paper (i use lots of ink) but it means if any electronic device crashes i can go to my home to my cellar and pull everything out then when you go to court you can show you used all due diligence and that the car was fit for purpose and commensurate with age there will be was and always will be minor leaks debonding of components at 10 years plus i think you are going to lose but the judge will not give the full amount but maybe 50% of the claim please use someone like lawgistics in future if you cannot mount a watertight defence its basically 10 months of hell if you fight these cases on your own with no help from people like lawgistics
