  1. put it on the 2.30 at kempton forgot to add if they come back saying you broke the contract turn round and say mechanic was right it was clocked and give them their depo back end of...........................
  2. a full and proper business plan write down everything including if you need 3 pints every night on the left put projected takings on the right all your costings then you need to work out what sells consistently in your area,remember it could be something you hate like hundy i10's because theres a local main dealer that punts these out so everyone assumes they are good cars once you have ascertained what you can sell to realise a living see if you can physically outbid everyone else so you can fill your 10 places by buying them and maybe having them delivered,i just found out one type of car i travel 100 miles to collect would cost me £235 to have delivered so even that has to come off the bottom line even buying a hose pipe has to be considered then we have the customers themselves they are totally different to the ones that want to come and sit at an airy fairy desk and sup coffee whilst you number crunch good luck by the way because you seem to have everything you need but the experience
  3. customer here buying car want to take it now they have the insurance quote in their phone you take the tax money issue a receipt for them as dvla usually takes 5 days for it to appear and they drive away legal i call it customer service and all my customers appreciate it cant imagine why you wont do it you can always do a dummy tax check on the vehicle before you offer it up for sale if you have the older log book,i had one the other week and went into the nearest PO and taxed it there while customer waited,surely thats better than an irate phone call
  4. if you specialise then you can see first hand that stock that sells well has risen fast in price this year odd ball stuff will always be cheaper because its going to be a long haul punt so you need two rashers of bacon out of it at pos
  5. discussing this today anyone selling stuff like this needs a medal as its a hand grenade with the pin out at 10 years old the old saying comes out kiss... keep it simple ....so old focus.jazz/c1/this sort of bullet proof rubbish that doesnt come back to bite your bum ok you wont make a grand a sale but you wont be dreading the phone call.....hello its me i bought the jazz off you last week etc............. to OP once this is sorted ive said it a million times but find your comfort zone and specialise,people will travel if you have what they want and you show commitment to your chosen destination
  6. they might have just been passing but read this https://www.businesscompanion.info/en/quick-guides/miscellaneous/trading-standards-inspections-and-powers
  7. cars normally dont just blow up didit run say short on oil has it been abused of course if it went to court you would probably lose with mitigating reasons but this is the problem selling ten year old washing machines on wheels im sorry to see any trader blow but we are selling the worst commodity known to man sorry mate
  8. having been on the receiving end of having a car taken away nearly (by the dvla annointed henchmen) because car was classed as on public land it is not something i would do,can you imagine the conversation monday morning from customer.....hi i bought the focus on saturday and as you know we went to wales for the weekend,the car has been confiscated and we are stuck in the only hotel in wales,currently what with eating a lot of pies and all our bill is at £325 and rising,what are you going to do about it because you said road tax was a tax from the fascist state and could be ignored
  9. i bid for you but got taken out do i still get the beer tokens
  10. just wow one of the main infrastructures of the modern world is shut for over 2 days and everyone just has to suck it up absolutely pathetic

  16. prove me wrong but i think you need a check up from the neck up if you give him 5 bags for such a niche 14 year old german thing
  17. mine went up nearly 24% in may, no claims no nuuting, but i did get older and i put it down to that im with lv
  18. keep moving it and keep it away enough so you dont bubble the paint this way a localised repair on a bumper end is so easy i blend down the lacquer to nearly pure thinners on the last coat so the buffing is minimal but its rare you will not need to do some cutting in unless all panel lacquered
  19. it would be dependant on weather when i mix my own 2 pack lacquer i can get it to be buffable in 20 minutes with the heat gun,i have 2 different types of infra red panel heaters but they can easily cause problems with underlying paint
  20. did you see her licence? its 21 here but we tell them 25 sorts some of the short wearing men dudes out too
