Dave2302 387 Posted July 10, 2018 Anyone on here selling in Medway towns, nr Rainham Kent ?? My partner Mel's son, (34 years old Chef, just doing driving test), is looking for a first Car, so something you may want to trade out, have to be reasonably reliable, as he's 670 miles from my Garage LOL, budget around £1k and not too steep Ins Gp Cheers Dave 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let a punter walk away without paying, knowing fine well he'll come back with the dosh when he says Mel is my wife /missus / g/f / significant other, etc etc etc lol, suppose you could say mate, but I say partner cos we never did the wedding thing Re Buying, you're kidding me, I never buy anything more that 3 years old from North Scotland, for 2 reasons 1) It will be really really really really rotten underneath, (+2 more really's if it came from Skye), 2) Most of the 'jocks' think a £2000 Car full of sheep ming is worth £4k I buy most of my Cars either Sales or Personal from south of the wall Mel's C Class, I drove a Recovery Truck to Kent to buy it, nicked it off the guy, due to a Turbo Actuator Fault, car was mint inside and out, and underneath !! Cost me £120 and a couple of hours to fix it, hire of the Wagon off a mate, plus the 30hr trip down and back, and still a couple of bags under "trade". Our family bussie, a Viano Ambiente came from Derbyshire, clean with usual electronic faults, got a train down and drove it back, had it 2 years now and would still be quids in if I retailed it, etc etc etc. 10 hours ago, mrs maybe said: its the reasonably reliable bit im stuck on though I'm really sorry, I just don't get any of that whole conversation, obviously been NW for too long now ............ When I say reasonably reliable, I mean like a Yaris, Getz, Micra etc, rather than a Vauxhall or VW which will surely bite his ass etc and the rest of it ??????????????????????? Anyways, thanks for the replies guys and gals Cheers Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave2302 387 Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) Hi, Service history is a waste of time to me personally, unless I actually know who's been looking after it and approve lol, because as we all know, so many Garage Mechanics / Main Dealers etc are rip off, don't do Spark Plugs when they should, awkward Fuel Filters, remove Wheels to check Brakes etc etc. Especially in the £1k car bracket Colour, being a guy not too important but he'd probably wanna avoid Pink etc Verifiable Mileage, preferably below 120k on a Jap but a well looked after Car at 150k is better than an 80k that's never been touched !! 05 upwards, anyone with a 18 plate for a grand call me, I'll buy it and come get it I'll leave today Edited July 11, 2018 by Dave2302 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rory RSC 596 Posted July 11, 2018 @EPV is down that way I think he might get a trade in to offer you. If I lived in Skye I don't think I would ever be in the office to sell cars I would be out in the Cuillins all day that would beat dealing with screamers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EPV 631 Posted July 11, 2018 I'm not a million miles away but my stock is £5-11k so unlikely to get a £750 trade in and if someone did offer one up I'd bid them £200 so they'd sell it somewhere else! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I moved up here from Sth London / Kent 11 years ago to semi retire outta the "Rat Race", better Health Care, better Schools, almost Zero Crime etc etc. I only started the business a couple of years ago because I saw an opportunity in the community, and wanted something to do !! I generally do around 5 hrs actual work 4- 5 days a week, and the rest of my time is doing exactly what myself or Mel want to do. I only gave up Water-skiing and sold the Boat 2 years ago because I'm getting too old now for Barefootin' and also we had a couple of family terminal illnesses on Mel's side which were taking a lot of our spare time up and down to Kent England.
