  1. 11% sound good cant join though as my religion bans selling pyramids
  2. if they turn up in shorts i know i wont like them this is england not marbella
  3. maybe me but i dont like poncy words in adverts people know what they want so a bit more about the car rather than stuff like For Clio lovers who need more space! With only 2 Previous Owners a NEW MOT with NO Advisories & Full Service History, Elite Preowned Vehicles are proud to present this Renault Clio to market at a FANTASTIC PRICE!. i fell asleep now what was the car again? oh yes a specced clio with the great built in satnav,love them......and i make it a major selling point for mummy with the isofix needs
  4. split mint eh wheres arthur dealeys pink one with the battered rims still in the corner? well done,really pleased for you
  5. that was before ,please ring them up monday and see what they say this body is here purely to make money for the goverment its not a public body reminds me of british gas selling extended warranties and your granny thinks ooh public company they can be trusted and that man in the peaked cap looks just like my grandson...no granny its a plc and they want your money,no ifs no buts just give us the wonga and thats not covered anyway...............
  6. if you dont put the pearlescent on at the same angle that the factory did you will not get it to match it also needs the correct undercoat colour usually a dark red not an easy colour to get right,my painter would want to paint a whole side if theres bits all this takes time and motor traders expect perfection at trade price this usually cant happen so its either pay the rate or accept compromise
  7. its the trousers held up with string that worries me ive often thought of buying him one but there were 4 € in spain last week,far too dear.............
  8. if benjiv50 looked at the best sellers he would note the astra at no4 so maybe he should have bought the bargain one and sent it for paint on a seperate note seeing as i was bored and slightly puffy eyed last night i looked what i could nick in the morcambe area both on tarttrader and eboy and there was nothing it wasall top top money so he needs to do a norman tebbit and go further afield like cliverpool
  9. hi yes it wasn't for sale but the customer spied it and wants it i never offer cars unless they are ready to retail much less stress
  10. thats very kind of you i hope its not abused
  11. had the misfortune to need to ring dvla this week chasing up a log book i applied for 3 weeks ago once you get through they start spouting gdpr at you and your call is important got through to an arse of a man who refused to answer any questions and refused to confirm they had received my request for a log book his reply was wait 4 weeks plus and then we can start an enquiry which means you would need to resubmit and go to the back of the queue fuming i went off the phone i tried again next day thinking the jobsworth might be on brain training got a nice lady who basically said the same but advised the car wasnt actually showing as in trade yet from when it was chopped in ive got a customer for this car so was hoping i could go to the PO and tax it,the lady says no blow me the loggy book came today
  12. your lucky my soup was in a packet and it said add water i didnt read it said hot water
  13. do you mean ebay and you said you were trade? if yes then you as a business should have checked so you would need to go to small claims court if it was an auction offering an article in the course of a selling transaction then unles it stipulates that your contract is between the vendor and yourself then they would be liable to make good the lien i am not a solicitor mind
  14. ive never given more than ive bid i might have lost loads of cars but the auction houses knew where i stood to bring this up to date i now bid online only my bid is final i will not kertow to giving more,take it or leave it old saying but true saying the first bid is the best bid funny those that pay more soon go bust,i follow them i do worry that online they know what im willing to go up to due to using that internet magic stuff where data is collected

  18. grease is the last sale i made and they are driving it there,i did warn it wouldn't be waterproof if they didnt put it on a boat for the last part of the journey,also it has to be registered in this country for a minimum of 3 months before you can import it i was advised

    Car tax

    HI Can you provide a link as the last letter i had from the dvla warned against dd and taxing whilst in trade to marc............my insurer insists any users are in my trade name rather than just in trade if its been through more than one traders hands,be careful this one hasn't if your policy is like mine, LV And welcome to the nuthouse
  20. this is the time to come out of your comfort zone and think outside the box think oddball or cars you normally turn your nose up at dont be too extreme though
  21. with the state of the rims im not surprised why dont you just spend 20 minutes with a touch up brush if you cant be arsed to do them properly that car has only one customer looking for it and because its that colour its got to look better than new,but you know this
  22. look at this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CAR-REVERSING-REVERSE-PARKING-4-SENSOR-KIT-BUZZER-AUDIO-ALARM-2018/152995400083?hash=item239f3c8993:g:U7gAAOSwhHJbH412 just put the buzzer inside the tailgate somewhere and wire the live into the reversing circuit if it has normal bulbs ie no can bus my own car the bleepers dont work do i care ? no
  23. i offer a delivery service as a customer service and not as a condition of sale take it or leave it because the service is only offered if i feel the customer is say a new driver and frightened of driving home we've all been new drivers at some time i will never ever deliver a car without the customer coming to me first you set out your stall and your minimum standards you wish to abide to and keep to them its the law here................
  24. and did it need a clutch after you bought it these people talking up their rubbish are usually hiding loads
