  3. no offence but now i read hes going to be a maths teacher the ceed will suit him to the ground will he take up pipe smoking later i life i wonder? i have visions of please sir now with dennis in the background and sharon being er sharon
  4. read this https://www.darlingtons.com/blog/rent-deposits-commercial-property i would expect to pay no more than 3 months but i guess its different the further south you go remember to get a solicitor to go through the lease before you sign and ideally set up a limited liability company in case you need to leave earlier than intended
  5. A corsa to a Kia would not be my choice as your son sounds young?
  6. Bodywork looks mint but what will be the upkeep costs
  7. if it was'nt for those pesky kids he would have got away with it
  8. £2000 seems to be the new £1295 if you look in your autotrader everything under 1695 is shredder material, high mileage over priced expensive road tax and undesirable spend a good few hours looking in your local area to whats really selling a good tip is to pretend to sell a car on autotrader and see how many hits your type of car gets ie a chevrolet spark gets low hits because nobody knows what it is but on a pitch it can sell quick because it looks low numbers for a newer plate so something like say a peugeot 107 has high hits but do the numbers here........
  9. thats like saying theres nothing after outerspace
  10. now back on the laptop what was the question again?

  12. So the Clio now takes over from the Safire for scrum magnet,please tell me the vauxhall insignificant holds position number three though on the social magnet
  13. The thing is would you look there if you were not in the motor trade or old? I ask because I do believe autotademog will die soon just like all the other businesses that get too big for their jack boots. The world moves on . People have attention spans of nothing,I pose this question to all of you in the trade,speak to a customer face to face who is under 30 and by asking simple questions see how much they listened to you as you explained what went into the car before it was offered for sale,you will find most of the time its a big fat zero ,youkid yourself if automugged is no1
  14. Look up I bought a domino pizza salvage on you tube its real interesting
  15. It was in the drop down when you posted the link,obviously now a discontinued model under the fourth new 10 year plan, such a shame too she sure was a looker Miss miss I want the m gee
  16. The best tool you have in this job these days is experience. Look around you at the traders that you remember from this time last year,how many thought they could do this job but couldn't,I've seen hundreds over the years blow but when you talk to them individually a man to a boy not one will admit they were a failure,its one of the stiff upper lips bit things the British do that rattles my cage,admit you failed but you had a hoot as you burnt your savings,on the other edge of the scale there's 4traders near me working together but change their trading name every three months,I guess its to get round having stiffed their advertisers but now they have all used their names up where will they go next? sleeping partners?dodgy credit cards? I don't know,thing is why don't they just buy quality stock and stand by it rather than selling worn out shit at retail prices
  17. I'm sure I've posted this before but will post it again. ,I bought a car from one of the large auction houses had the car a week had bettered it and was about to retail it when the rozzers turned up and wanted to arrest me for having a stolen car,turns out one of their preferred dealers hadn't put it through their books but the accountants turned it up and registered it on the at risk hpi alert it was the auction that gave the rozzers my details and they didn't even have the decency to advise me I was getting raided. I got it sorted but it left a nasty taste that I never forgot,they arranged to take the car back but you can believe me or not but I swapped every piece off that car I could from tyres to battery to bumpers to the radio ,it was back on sale and as it looked now a complete shed I could have got it for nicking money but I wouldn't bid,another story is when mobiles used to be those Motorola's we all had with the rubber aerials and I rang hpi to check a private van I was buying and it came up stolen,had a few nasty words to say to the seller then it turned out I had got a digit wrong on the hpi check,so easy to do just like it is when using a small device like I am now...merry Xmas all
  18. Sorry but why would any dealer want to sell a car with a known fault to a retail customer,it gets worse when said customer comes from outer mongoliar and intends driving it home to with only glass beads to support him if anything goes pop. I'm sure car auctions were invented for such hand grenades with the pin out,, Just say............
  19. Currently car less sold my smoker yesterday
  20. During the war when we were stuck in the desert the only tools we had were a Manchester screwdriver and a vacuum gauge these two tools saved us and we got a Victoria cross sandwiches medal,so the moral of the story is vacuum gauge before noid ,think about it what tool is more versatile,answer none but the Manchester screwdriver draws a close second if the gauge fails to deliver...........just sayin
  21. you cant get a simpler engine these days than these 3 pots but they need 3 things water oil petrol feed them bad stuff and like anything they will spit their dummy no cannybus on these too so good ole fashioned stand back plan of action sorts the real men out just watch the corner of the bonnet doesnt slice your head as you go in
