He's advertising a Peugeot 307 56 plate Hdi.

It has an issue with the starter motor. STARTER MOTOR IS ON THE WAY OUT. STILL STARTS PERFECT BUT A SCREECHING SOUND IS BEGINNING. THEY ARE £20 FROM A SCRAPYARD AND 10 MIN JOB TO DO.


This sounds like a bit of a 'wide boy', a wheeler dealer.

The screeching noise is most likely from the dual mass flywheel and that won't cost £20 and 10 min job. Kind of gives me an idea of the guy who is selling the round. Sorry, I maybe wrong but those are my first impressions and I'm sticking with it.

He won't find many window cleaners with £16015 to pay for the round in our part of the world.

Looks alright. £180 a year per customer, that's  good  going concern.

You want to be making at least  £100 a year per customer. Less than that and it's not sustainable.

BIt of a broad statement. Based on what?

Why does each customer have to make you at least 100 year?

Sorry..based on my living costs...which I realise isn't everyone's. . :P

Credit cards up to the max eh.

 ;D actually no. I don't have any credit cards. Worst things in the world.

Worst things in the world if you cant handle your finances a must have if you can, guarantees your purchases, safer than using
a debit card which gives access to your money, even if you pay it back every month and never pay a penny interest it still gives
you an excellent credit rating and access to cheap loans should you ever need one.

No doubt credit cards are handy.

I have an account where I put money into it.  I only spend on what is needed, and any surplus accumilates. If I need credit card type potection I use my prepaid credit card.

I never want to be in any debt again. But then again anyone who has been through bankruptcy before will feel the same.

I don't have any debts, and wish to stay that way.   8)
