  1. im sorry but we arent allowing any more new motor traders to start up as the market is saturated cant you be a plumber pretty please,and ive got a job for you
  2. get it blacked in all the right places or it will be going in for a free safety check next week because customers thought they were buying new at such a low mileage
  3. you havent said ...........well you were such a nice man when we dealt with you......... thats what normally happens when its had a dealer or halfords safety check this is why its always best to do a full pdi a new mot and talk to the customer in a language they understand prior to reminding them what a bargain it is at bla bla bla i forgot to add the pdi is for you to note things like these and see if you can better them before it goes off i had a woman last week moaning about tyre depths of 6mm 6mm 8 mm 8mm she reconned they were nearly ready for change,my pdi i read out in front of her proved different,did i sell her a car ? no,i called her vinegar t*ts when she had gone
  4. you guys are soooo nasty next you will be saying you drop the bonnet from a foot off the slam just as a Akhta walks to you in da block
  5. i have in the past and it ended badly real badly if you are new to this job learn,never take 12 pieces from family it will end with no supper
  6. no fancy plug in gizmo would find a blocked muffler yesterday i had a car rejected because it had a tingly noise on the test drive 6 drives up the road later ( customer gone) and two full inspections underneath i started looking for faults on the bodywork as after various analogies no one could confirm where noise was coming from it was windy and wet i found the aerial made of fibreglass had slightly delaminated and in the wind a strand was hitting the rest of the aerial and this was drumming through the roof can you even imagine finding this on a warranty problem? later in the day i had a body control ecu issue ,turns out after 4 hours an smd has failed in the speedo head but mileage is stored in the head so i cant swap out and the board is so small i cant put another smd in i had the whole dash in bits to get to this ,no plug in gizmo would find it just sayin.............
  7. let them both turn up together and fight for it like a man (ernie)
  8. ive had a week of nutters im just glad im home couldn't take much more
  9. its probably still on original exhaust and a baffle might have collapsed you dont notice problems like this till 5 miles into a journey just a thought
  10. i had an account with them and used to go probably twice a year for stuff like "we been to bognor" stickers and door lock surrounds that used to get damaged by scroats so im probably thinking 90's?
  11. ive taken them out but forget i think theres a fastener underneath? nasty radios they keep going faulty plus the words wear off its a bluespot so i should be able to do the code if you get stuck after replacing,if just taking out and putting back in it should work without code need
  12. thinners on a lint free flannelette cloth im not buying bulked up stuff to do the same job bit like using t/cut donkey years ago i remember buying mk4 cortinas that had been undrsealed 6 inches up from the sills and taking it all off with copious amounts of thinners/petrol and finding mint paintwork underneath and adding loadsa value
  13. good cars the mk1 i had one ,crap seats though so i changed them
  14. agree might cost £400 in transport but you are in charge no way would i let an unknown garage without a personal recommendation look under the bonnet of something like a l200
  15. Section 75 of the Road Traffic Act makes it an offence for anyone to sell a vehicle that is not roadworthy personally if i was to sell a dangerous car through say ebay i would have some part worns fitted before offering it just to cover my bum
  16. it would appear you are buying the wrong stock at the wrong price then having it delivered this is all wrong i assume? you get someone else to do mechanical work and valeting too? see so many people who do this job half hearted and then give up and a few years later come to me to buy a car,you can tell them a mile off as first thing they do is gun a cold engine,not had one for yonks and hasd one this very week,tried chipping me but i refused him,rather sell to a sensible person so akhtar reappraise your buying decisions work out how much you can add betterment to your product and do as much yourself as you can,get some trade plates and drive the cars back and view other stock whilst at the auction,its easy buying any stock, selling is the important part
  17. hello i won the only thing i see to think i can add is get your paperwork in order read read and read your claimants paperwork highlighting anything wrong write on a seperate paper key points and number them on claimants paperwork keep away from them in waiting room go tidy but no pointy shoes whatever you do take a bottle of water as my throat went very dry within 5 minutes there was water available but just to be sure preparation preparation preparation go to bed early and no alcohol and get their in good time,my court was 30 miles rather than a more local one and i got stuck in traffic and couldnt find anywhere to park
  18. 1001 cleans a big big carpet for less than half a crown of course theres always stardrops for less than a bob
  19. HI andy and welcome ive finally learnt that you can be right with customers and help them till the sheep come home but in todays market they are only interested in the bottom line this market has changed out of all proportion this last 24 months
