  1. think what you are looking for is enterprise rent a car....
  2. i think most of us have the fcuk it if it dont sell it can sit there attitude on some cars, but sitting there does them no good and costs in bits, ie battery dies, damp gets in electrics and money could have been earning, but we all do it.
  3. Get it back to you, dont let them go anywhere else or you will end up with car being condemned...
  4. Well obviously I would need to come and sniff the oil and pull on the wheels first...
  5. Don’t have it taking up space and having all the BMW wannabes wasting your time.... Sell it me for a quick £400 profit...
  6. BCA and car dealers have a special deal with main dealers so if you buy it the warranty is extended to double the standard one, but it’s a big secret like being in the secret boys club with the funny handshake.... u need to go into main agents ask for service manager unbutton your shirt and squeeze your nipple while standing on one leg rubbing his face with other hand.... while chanting BCA BCA BCA...
  7. Need a bit of time to to sort some cash out as most of it gone for new stock. Any advice how to drag this in time let say 3 weeks without any harm. Do you really want the billy driving your car to destruction for next 3 weeks?? If he ain’t bothered bout watching temp gauge you run the risk of getting a bag of bits back.... get it back ASAP and I would advise asking him mileage then telling him to lock it up securely and not drive it... get it collected ASAP
  8. Sounds like ya gonna be in for a blue on this one matey .... welcome to life as a car dealer, refund him, fix it, move on,
  9. I would know where to start with a drill but I was left behind when clockers went digital.
  10. Remember the clocks go back tonight and you don’t need an electric drill for this one.
  11. If your happy with your stock what prep it proper then toss it off?? We can all race to the bottom.... jobs quiet, prep them right and sit tight
  12. At the end of the day regardless of the fact that mini engines are chocolate and the private billy is a skint member he bought a car off a “professional” (the judge would say because he does not understand cars.... we know it’s cus he can’t get Chucky to buy cheap off back street bob) if a fault occurred in 30 days only an unprofessional dealer would wriggle.... I would have got It back and inspected as soon as a complaint was made then if report said it was faulty it would have been fixed, we are meant to be the professionals here not ones who hide from our obligations, if I paid an electrician to do a job and it wasn’t right I would expect him to make it right cus I don’t understand electrics I wouldn’t be wanting to contribute when I had paid top dollar a month before... We all like a good profit but sometimes we get shit and we need to move on,,,, unless of course billy is taking the piss.
  13. We put a lot of time and effort into sourcing and prepping the cars taking risks on them being sound and wiping ass after sale so why should we give it all away to punters who will scream at the slightest problem. Fixed price is the only way and tell them we prefer customers with a px who want Finance...
  14. I am in this game cus I am too thick to be a sparky or a plumber, but it ain’t easy n it certainly ain’t part time
  15. It yours as long as you collect b4 8pm tonight
  16. Do I really need him as a customer?? He Can’t find a dipper... who’s he gonna call when it needs tyres feeking Ghost busters?
  17. All privates are liars.... no matter how sweet they seem they tell lies
  18. So local rag cocks up on price of a car that we advertised, should be £19995 and they put £1995, phone never stops and they were actually serious, one woman actually threatened me with trading standards if i didnt honour price!!! Then I had guy this week on a 2004 smart car wanted me to take it to Mercedes for inspection,,, i said no, so he arranges for RAC to come here and inspect it, nice RAC guy came but as he said the car is 14yr old and guy seems to be expecting the earth,,, he faults it on few bits,, so I have just got e mail off the "customer" who says "I will not be proceeding with the purchase of your smart car due to numerous faults (car was MOT,d Monday) I do obviously expect you to reimburse my £300 RAC inspection fee" FFS,,, then to cap it all guy just e-mailed me on 99 Bentley Arnage at £20k I am prepared to purchase your car subject to inspection I will want finance over 5 years with nil deposit,,,, how the fcuk does he expect to run a Bentley if he cant find a dipper.... RANT OVER ITS FRIDAY I AM GOING TO GET PISSED,,, HAPPY WEEKEND FOLKS.
  19. Well I bought the GB70 from Halfords and yes it’s a great bit of kit but like a typical kid in a candy store the £135 bargain cost a lot more... after an hour strolling round Halfords with a trade card my I phone got new leads, my pushbike got an upgrade and how the fcuk can BMW charge £18 for a piddly little touch up pen when a big fcuk off aersosol cost me less than a fiver... that’s before I got to the toolboxes that are half decent quality and ideal for if working on my motorbike in my lock up... I knew I should have just ordered the booster pack online.
  20. Coincidentally I just got an e mail off Halfords offering trade club discounts with what seem like good deals, the noco GB70 £135 incl vat,,, looks good value, any thoughts before i spend some hard earned?
  21. Cheers chaps you have really cheered me up,,, I hope all your Ford Eco boosts and Zafiras set on fire and your VW,s dont pass the emissions....
