  12. both these cars are seen as prestige middle class conveyancers by the teachers and social workers that buy them and as such are very fussy,your bodyshop understands this so unlike slapping a bit of paint on an old fiesta they realise it might come back,as regards replacing the bumper its entirely possible it did have a poor previous repair and as such a replacement would be the only option for 100% quality i use a local man for most paint he lives in a shed and works from a bigger shed hes cheap but the jobs are not always perfect you pays your monies and........................
  13. polish only want to pay less than death price so its a very last option for me

  20. Had one the other week was buying a car for his daughter,he had been before she rejected the car he had picked on the colour she didnt like it,this time he said i am buying and she will agree with my choice, can i have a test drive? no i said bring her down if she likes the colour then we go on test drive,they turns up after my normal hours after he asked me to wait she looks at car we go on test drive we come back she doesn't like the colour no wonder i sometimes go to the pub
  21. I rarely give timewasters more than 5 minutes of my time and very rarely do i bother even getting the keys for them so they can hear a motor run,i find 98% of my customers dont even look under the bonnet until i show them on collection where the mucky bits live and where it might need feeding and watering
  22. i always say the hard part is buying good stock even a fool can sell good stock every weeks different I always tell myself to go in with eyes wide open and not to think that ones mine that is because there's always someone who thinks the same as you, so you have to purchase using psychology sometimes and outmanoeuvre the other buyer by banging your bids in quick and determinedly, rather than waiting for the going going gone rubbish. Oh and watch out for the local traders selling you their p/x chop ins because once they realise you will buy anything they will smell blood even though long time gain is better for short term gain for them,(if yours are better than this then remember a nice bottle of malt is always welcome at xmas)
  23. does it quieten if you spray some water on the serpentine
