timolloyd Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I was just thinking the same. The whole ‘Dr owned’ thing is a load of bollocks anyway. Highly stressful job, long hours…they’d be forgiven for missing services, washing the car etc. What makes Drs any more of a safe bet?

This feels like it was written by estate agents. Let's start with dealership ad bingo: Very Hard To Find In this Condition Un-molested Supplied By Wayside Vw St Albans To Doctor Jeremy Luke In April 2004 Built When Cars Did What They Said On The Tin !!! This Car Is Not Concourse, Nor A Garage Queen stunning There is car salesman on YT High-peaks (or som et like hat) from somewhere near the Peak District who would seem to have adverts like this. I have not watched him for some time I do remember him but his waffling about his stock this would be right up his ally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadworkUK Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I might have to bookmark West Border Cars for future monitoring. Clearly a bunch of chancers, and very, very fond of capitalisation. Here's another corker; a seventeen year-old Beetle Convertible (1.6) that was apparently previously owned by a beige lady. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133946329181?hash=item1f2fd2c85d:g:DB8AAOSw~dZhnAwe Five bags.

grogee Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Customer testimonial about West Border Cars, that they definitely* didn't write themselves: "I bought a car from this dealership yesterday and I have nothing else to say except that they were professional. I visited 6 other dealerships before viewing a car here and they did everything to make me feel at ease and Have confidence with them. I had a lovely gentleman called Rob, and nothing was too much trouble for him. I’m in love with my new car and the service they provided was exceptional! I highly recommend them and if you’re looking for a genuine place to buy your next car, then you won’t be disappointed. Thanks again for such excellent and piece of mind service.

In 30 odd years Ive worked with maybe two doctors who have actually looked after their cars and been enthusiasts, all the rest treat them like domestic appliances. Nurses are nearly as bad. I myself treat my own car like shit. I do look after the wifes, but that cost a metric shitload more than mine, which is a tool to get me from A to B frequently via various HMP and drug & alcohol service car parks. timolloyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
