Beautiful South Martin 24 Posted February 4, 2017 Picked up a very very clean Toyota Corolla yesterday from the block, FSH, Mint inside and out. Driving it back and the gear box is howling its buns off in 4th and 5th...Great I was only going to mark it up with £600. Rings me gearbox man...."Heh I only did one of them last week" he says...£245 + VAT for bearings and labour + a £100 for my mechanic to take the box in and out....Fantastic £250 left to play with....And to top it all off.....Filing away the V5/MOT etc and what is attached....only the purchase invoice from the main dealer signed by the customer to verify the miles and guess what?....I'd paid £500 more than the SIV!!! Some days I hate the F%*!&ING MOTORTRADE !!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
