  1. Reviews are a pain in the ass but they are a sad fact of running a business, yes people do read reviews and decide what your business is like before even speaking to you, you must reply to the review and turn it around in your favour, explain that it has cost you xyz removing car from sale, preparing it to his standards loss of turnover etc etc state that deposits are none refundable and a contract such as the one he signed is legally binding.....worded correctly it can make him look like a skint chancer wannabe rather than an innocent hard done to saint...
  2. I believe there are only a certain number of times you can do this before DVLA get wise to your bank details keep stopping DD then they block all DD,s from that account, sounds Bollox to me cus they getting paid but that’s a govt body for u....
  3. No MOT and free tax, out comes my new smoker... maybe they will start giving me fuel vouchers next ;-)
  4. Bet the one you cancel AT on still gets buyers saying they saw it on AT
  5. Click dealer, and when we went with them many moons ago there was no hard sell, cost wise it’s the cheapest and biggest forecourt you will ever have,
  6. I thought maybe a private, can I revise my original advise? Only way to clear light has to be done at 3am, sit in car with rear doors open, remove all your clothes as the static from them may upset the process,, start car and hold accelerator to floor for a full 10 minutes while pressing horn at the same time as reciting the Koran...... sorted the EML is no longer your biggest problem
  7. Change oil pressure switch, had one last week but was an easy diagnosis... as soon as I unplugged wire I got covered in oil.
  8. Have a forced re gen before any additives, but would have thought dpf light would have been on rather than em light,
  9. she wasn't telling him what was wrong she was telling him he could throw it back,
  10. that was easy to solve,,,, snowflake and the flashing one was traction control,,,, his fecking wife can use google but cant read a handbook, I dread when fuel light comes on or it needs washer fluid..
  11. They get better,,,, Mr Knob rings this week... I bought a car off you 3 weeks ago, i have a serious problem with this car u sold me an orange warning light is on and sometimes another one comes on, my wife has looked on google and spoken to trading standards and I want to reject the car because I am within my rights, ok I say what are the lights? I don't know he says but I shouldn't get warning lights after 3 weeks so you need to collect it and give me my money back, have you looked in handbook what lights are for says me, no he says,,, what do they look like says me....... wait for it......... it gets better.......... go on any one fancy a guess???
  12. I usually tax on direct debit using green slip then cancel direct debit when I sell car, no doubt it is not the way to do it but at least it is taxed and doesn't put another name in book.
  13. I remember years ago when Autotrader rep came in with latest price increases, I asked her how they justify it and her arrogant reply was "because we can" six months later the same arrogant woman came in as my new finance rep after Autotrader had cut her wages and she had to leave, I told her I didn't want to deal with her, she asked why not,, I said "BECAUSE I CAN" you have to be careful who you piss off when your at the top of the tree because your gonna meet them on the way down ;-))
  14. Seriously £4.50/£5 per car INCREASE!!!! That increase with 50 car stock is £250 that is all that most of the other portals actually charge for advertising ..... but I guess that if they can get away with it why not... I can’t understand why their share price is at it lowest level with income increases like this, so glad I don’t feed the greedy monster anymore ;-)))
  15. how it works they will get a list of say 5 or 6 cars they going to look at, ring them up to say they coming but end up buying first one and cant be arsed ringing other to cancel cus.
  16. I had one ring on Friday to say he coming to look at a Fiesta "in an hour",,,,,, he didn't show...... no hardship I sold it Saturday, same man rang again yesterday, I didn't tell him it was sold and he said he would come to look at it "in an hour" surprisingly he actually turned up and was pissed off when I told him I had just sold it,, he said "you knew I was on my way to buy it", I said just like you were on your way Friday and didnt show ;-)))
  17. We do need protecting from dishonest members of the public.
  18. Can I claim compensation. I was mislead when I met my ex she said she was one owner but she was ragged more times than an enterprise rental. If you could let me know it would be much appreciated.
  19. Chancers, but sure lots of gullible punters will sign up with them hoping to screw the dishonest car dealers. Pity they won’t answer my questions on Facebook
  20. Dunno how to do a link but if you put into Facebook search used car litigation group you will find them
  21. I asked on there page how many cases they had won because they say cardealers should disclose everything.... there reply.. It is not our policy to disclose case volumes or outcomes. Thanks for posting.
  22. Just seen this page on face fcuk,,, used car litigation group..... the can of worms has been opened
  23. Get it all time, usual one is whats your best price,, after half hour negotiating price punter buggers off to think about it, following day you get another punter of similar ethnicity who's offer is always below one you negotiated with separate punter day before..... u do think are they related....
  24. I am on E-Bay motors pro, think its about £230+VAT for 50 cars, I get results and not just pondlife, I used to think it was just for cheap stuff but this month I have done a £23k XKR and a £26k Range rover, but I wouldn't want to pay anymore to list on gum tree, they have rung me many times over the years and I have declined so I hope its not something e-bay are going to push on us.
