its all i know, and from looking in on other trades the country is as ass backwards towards them as well unless your a top level mp or something, I mean who in there right mind would want to be a police man or a nurse, phft no way i rather put up with trading standards and the guy in the street who becomes rumpole of the bailey when his rear windscreen wiper makes a odd noise after 7 months in the £1500 fiesta i sold him.

I have several similar people within 3 miles to me, you think trading standards would visit him instead of moaning about my mileage discrepancy stickers are not the latest issue

cant beat the smell thats for sure

I cant get on with that midnight stuff it just masks what ever is below and stinks, as for engine dressing they do one called Krul which is even better than finish as it doesnt get affected by the heat of the engine.

Has anyone got a link to the new "guidelines or rules" i cant seem to find them anywhere, coming from Swansea the home of the DVLA there vans are everywhere in my area so be nice to keep up to date.

I do ok cant complain, that said i have been going for 25 years and have hardly any overheads such as rent rates ect, not a fan of the home trader there a constant thorn in my side either when it comes to buying or selling there is always someone sitting in there living room wanting to make £100

From the outside looking in people must think we are talking in code

Agreed it's cracking stuff even better since they added some fragrance other than gone off acid

Is it just me or has the cost of car prep gone up loads lately, been shopping around and they all seem to be very similar prices we use autosmart nelsons autoglym and 3m polishes any other suggestions ?

passes the time of day, whilst i am having my granny prepped for sale.

welcome back simple simon

Still amazes me that people fall for these scams, the website in all fairness is not to bad a lot better than some real dealers. Crazy insane situation that the police or trading standards wont act when its clearly a scam so they will happily let people get ripped off then act. yet they climbed all over me last month for my business name act details being out of date, go figure

I had something similar on facebook so had to disable my review feature as there are just to many fruit cakes out there

Am i guessing your not a fan of the scheme ?

I know these guys are getting some bad press lately however my local Citroen dealer whom I used to buy from direct now sell all there stock through dealer auction, so my question is does dealer auction require you to be vat registered to open a buyer account ?

be prepared for three phone calls tomorrow asking to come and view it !! its always the way

I been having a lot of "will you do the advisory notices on the mot's latly, on a 03 polo for £995 umm nope

agreed dont see the point yet i still do, dont ask me why i have no idea on what planet some people think £2995 equals an offer of £1500 cash mate i just dont get

I tend to stick to a ten year rule nothing older does help anything older I find come with to many faults yet the customers still want trouble free motoring

I had a Yaris do the same thing, turns out it was owned by a very old gent who never changed gears ie pull off in first get to end of road then second for another ten miles ect never went into fifth Mashed the box to bits

how on earth can this happen time and time again the odds must be close to winning the lottery but i get it all the bloody time

Slightly off topic, a friend I have known for years always turns over more stock than me from his house or petrol station forecourt, recently he thought the grass was greener on the other side and rented a forecourt I bumped into him on Saturday in the auctions and he has thrown the towel in already, said sales had almost halved and the amount of come backs where insane. I did feel somewhat smug then he went and out bid me on four cars.....sigh

I have had cars with me so long i have bought them a birthday card and a small cake with one candle to mark the event. i feel your pain

You could ask for a copy of "had investigated " but that may be a possible can of worms if its a well worded quote, is there room to meet him in the middle that's where i normally start such as you buy parts he pays for fitting, if he refuses then at least if it goes further you have shown good faith in an attempt to help him.

Almost word for word we offer the same cover as Scooby who and it works well for us, the only thing we make sure of is that we always stick to the same cars we know and understand so when a problem does occur we are able to sort it pronto.
