    Cat D?

    So let me get this straight... Your sitting in your £6000 car in traffic not moving. And the person behind goes into you. Once inspected by the body shop they give you an estimate of £700 to repair the rear bumper as there is no other damage to the vehicle. And because you go though insurance it becomes a "write off" CAT-D? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" />
  2. You get charged VAT on second hand goods because no one has paid the VAT on it in the first place. So when its VAT qualifing what it means is that your invoice will show VAT. So what will happen is if you buy at £7000 from the auction. It will show say £6000+VAT=£7000... Its not £7000+VAT unless its a commerical vehicle. These are the general rules but it does vary from car to car so you need to listen to what the person says on the podium before the particular car goes though. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
  3. You drove past mine as it was faceing towards you... Anyone??? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

  5. £1500 margin -250 prep/service/b.work -218 vat -100 commission =£932 Then the next customer wants £500 extra for their own px =£432 clear profit... Is it worth them buying and selling the car for £432 profit??? These threads kind of niggle at me abit. Its not like dealers have a 300% margin, but Mc Donalds do, same with most restaurants. Yet people don't complain about them and call them "stealers" and the like. At the end of the day every one knows you can POTENTIALLY get more for selling it privately. And the key word is potentially!!!! I have a lovely Nissan terrano 4x4 for sale at the moment books as a clean car for £3000... i have it up for £2800 and has the phone rang??? NO! And this one has everythng going for it. So cars don't always go for "book" or what you would expect. I personally would like to see less of these types of threads...but hey thats just me.... style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Rant over, love you all! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> P.s this was not aimed at anyone in particular, just in general.

  18. It was me behind you mate... style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> P.s i like those wheels...
  19. Mx5 is very good for the money... Make sure you get one with AC... I just took a 52 reg Arizona in for £8500 it booked at £7500 but a mazda dealership was willing to pay "overs" due to the time of year and condition... The MX5 was also rated as one of best(in top 10, can't remember which one) in some recent survey. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
  20. http://www.hlconcepts.fotopic.net/p28143037.html Thats me playing paintball... You guys are lucking you only get shot once... i get shot at a rate of 15 balls per second... Times by up to 7 players... So saying it hurts is a mega understatement.... But my sympathy goes out to everyone thats not use to it... style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

    Arosa Sport

    Saw a red Arosa Sport (exhaust sticking out the center back) on an 02 reg... i was pulling off and you went past me... He was giving my car a good look so i asume he was part of the club.... Maybe not... but amyone on here??? Neil style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
  23. Tigz: no it doesnt, i was thinking once a few people have had a "play" round with the performance of the car it would become a rocket... style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
  24. I've got one of the new 207's at the moment GT 1.6 110bhp Hdi.. and can honestly say that if i was looking to change the Lupo i would get one... Much better handleing, build quality is good and when the 1.6 turbo(bmw/peug) engine comes out i sure it will be a rocket... As for the Clio looking better than the 207 thats a matter of taste... Pug took us on a day out in March, and gave us a clio,punto,yaris,fiesta & 206 to drive back to back. Once you have done that you can see which one is best. And if the new clio is so good why's the old clio out selling it? As per 107,207,307,407 all looking the same from the front. So do BMW's they all have the "breast plate" grill and twin headlamps. Same with Audi's Vw's etc etc....
  25. http://www.ourlighterside.com/stuff/engineer/ 1350 BHP!!! A tenner to the first person to do that to a Lupo...
