    That's sums it up, other than it being dirty ... We ended up replacing the cam belt, painted the rear bumper, mot, 4 wheels, sun visor clip, bonnet catch broke on collection ..... Paintwork was flat and lifeless and panel gaps were all wrong, just not a very nice car. Never ever again, it was picked up through trademail.

    We had a cheap golf, I stayed until 9pm so they could view it, then they wanted to sleep on it, in the morning they called and had more questions, including what warranty (it had covered 150k) and what warranty on the timing belt ? Oh and still no deposit. Someone else calls 4hours away, we are coming by train and are just going to book train tickets will you hold it until we get there ?  yep no problem, we pick them up from the station they buy it and drive it off.

    then I had the difficult call to make and say it had sold, I guess it was partly my fault for not getting the answers quick enough but in the meantime some else said they were coming, if your interested in a car just put a deposit on it otherwise it can and will sell.

    Sorry for the dragging up of an old post, is trusted buyers one company similar to wbac or is it made up from various dealers ? The reason I ask is we took a car from them and it was very poor, any profit has long since gone in having to put most of the bodywork right and replace missing bits.

    We had a customer call about a 640d with a px, we offered 7k for the px only to be told it was way too low as what car said his car was worth £9600. So we ended the call. We thought it would be nice to see what they valued our 640d at, we had it listed at £21990, what car said the retail price should be £26800. So we called the customer back and told them the good news, we could offer £9600 for the px however we would want £26800 for the 640d, they weren't so keen on this deal either.....

    £12.95 for the latch ford scheme, that's for 5 days. The customer pays (well they do with us) and they don't seem to have an issue. You can either log I as a dealer and complete it (with the customer present) or give the customer your dealer code and a link and then they can do it. If they do it then you need to log in and activate the policy.

    you need to print off 2 copies of the cover note, give one to them, the other they need to sign and you keep. It won't cover all cars and some job titles are a no go, so sometimes you need to remove business cover etc. It's quick and easy, just make sure you inform the customer they will be called by Aviva and they will try and upsell a policy.
