  1. Why tell them they are from Auction or that you are a dealer?? If you breakdown hide your trade plates, tax car at side of road on green slip tell them you have just bought yourself a new car and its broke down on way home. £90 a year well spent
  2. be careful, if they put in an application for you then years later govt suddenly turns round and says business rates are free like they have with this covid crap the company will want a percentage of the saving even though nothing to do with them,,, read the small print.
  3. So much easier if the burglar "trips" over the kerb on his way out and breaks both legs, arm, cracked ribs, fractured skull and lands on his knife.... fifteen times.....
  4. SIR I DID NOT SEE ANY SILL DAMAGE WHEN I INSPECTED, YOU DID NOT SEE ANY SILL DAMAGE WHEN YOU INSPECTED IT, YOUR INDEPENDENT SPECIALIST INSPECTION REPORT DID NOT MENTION ANY SILL DAMAGE WHEN THEY INSPECTED IT,, SO I WOULD SUGGEST YOU HAVE DAMAGED IT,,,, OFF YOU FUCK
  5. join halfrauds trade club and you get cracking discount on CTEK chargers and they are good bit of kit
  6. I buy quite a few cars from Isle Of Man, no MOT,s there but neither do they show up as imported,,,, number of clever cnuts i had on old 944 i sold last year telling me must be fcuked because not mot,d for 10 yrs
  7. I looked on site and they all seem to be main dealer group types who are obviously sick of the greedy monster, I sent a request to join but they basically said only looking for big boys.... well fcuk u,,,, ha ha
  8. you probably pay more to Autotrader than you would pay a good salesman so why not sack AT altogether and employ a good salesman then you can be open 52 weeks of the year...
  9. 60 car pitch, been without them few years now and numbers sold virtually same year on year.
  10. how much would you buy it for and WOULD you buy it, because if it goes tits up after you sell it you will own it cus the owner will be long gone...
  11. I hate Autotrader and as a trader I dont/wont give them my money, But i love my Autotrader shares.... and when the advertising prices go up each year by 20% i laugh at people who have money in bank earning 0.0005% interest while my shares go up funninly enough by 20% ;-))
  12. “Hi you all know that auto trader is a rip off”. Yes and we know the govt have fcucked us all with Brexit old news, for years traders have threatened to boycott it but nothing happens, if your not happy do as lots of us have and leave, don’t threaten them cus they don’t care, just pull the plug. But if it works for you and costs say less then £150 per sale then stay. I personally hate them but as a business they are good and my Autotrader shares keep going up...
  13. i pay £500 for 60 cars on the sponsored listings package,,, usually do 3 or 4 a month from it,
  14. in all fairness to the OP the rules around displaying Trade Plates are all to cock, how you display them by the book is crap and unachievable on some cars, the system need overhauling, one minute u have to cover original plates next you cant, but it has always said not to display in windscreen.
  15. i used xk8parts.co.uk for some bits last year they seem to break a few, worth a punt.
  16. Click dealer top people, a forward thinking honest company that do more than it says on the tin.
  17. Couple of points, 1, I am not your mate, 2, you have tried to nab a bargain and are bleating because it doesnt exist, 3. you are on a car dealers website, we are trade professionals who pay proper money for a proper car and we know bargains on this scale dont exist 4. you didnt go to a genuine dealer because you were unwilling to pay a right price for a right car 5 SEE POINT ONE best of luck with your studies I hope you learn that bargains do not exist
  18. wow how cheap are those cars, i better rush and reserve one with my debit card i dont want to miss out on a bargain....... and if it goes tits up i will go to Dom Littlewood or watchdog because i am an innocent private who has been scammed out of my hard earned cash... IF IT LOOKS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE ITS A SCAM.
  19. quick heads up, I just bought a ctek mxs10 thats meant to be the top of the range thingy, refreshes recharges good for stop start batteries etc etc, had it a couple of days and its brought a couple of batteries i was about to scrap back to life so its paid for itself, advertised at Halfords for £130 but i joined halfords trade club n got it for £97,,,, by the time i claim vat back it will stand me at 80quid so i think its a bargain.
  20. Get the car back and see for yourself what is wrong before parting with any money, a private saying an engine is fecked could be anything.... sort it or refund him..then rip up your warranty forms they make you look like a 70,s Arthur Daley you can’t legally treat a customer like that, if he buys a car from you and it is not fit for purpose you can’t expect to get away with going halves with him to make it fit for purpose and if it’s over a grand expect him to cough up the rest you are taking away his legal rights.
  21. Just sold an 07 Kia Sorento for £4500 high tax bracket, guy swapped a 107 in for it £20 tax,,,, bit of a know it all guy, said he done his homework on google n knew all faults wot to look for etc but never once mentioned tax so neither did I, when he came to collect and tax it (yesterday) I just asked him for his debit card for DVLA online tax...... I await the scream when his statement arrives.... but he did say he had done his research ha ha
  22. I’d get to top n realise I forgot my fecking 10mm socket....or I would need a piss...
  23. my ex bought a new one of these so i know its nothing to do with being wizzed,,,when it was 4 yr old the mileage started flashing and blue+me stopped working, i left battery off overnight and all ok,,,, but fecking shit car, door handles broke off, windows packed in etc etc etc worse car ever
