They have a branch in my building, and i can confirm they are swaggering twats, who load up the shared car park with the cars theyve purchased!

AND watching people come in and sell their cars can be mildly upsetting sometimes, they seem to get lots of customers who just need money quick and dont really want to sell their cars. There was a lady in tears today.

they are the provident of the car world

I quite like it

...even when the dcs and dp hear it in the car, and then proceed to sing it ALL DAY

tethersend · 09/03/2010 19:52

The fact that you remember the advert means it's working

Now I must go and sort out all this unwanted gold I've got... If only there were somewhere that would buy it. Perhaps involving an envelope in some way- anything else just seems too complicated.

mehdismummy · 09/03/2010 19:53

double g guaranteed!!

I love it it's so funny

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 09/03/2010 20:56

It's not true though, they don't buy any car.

Not if it's got more than 250,000 miles on the clock, for starters.

tethersend · 09/03/2010 21:24

Dammit, whilst looking for the gold I slipped and had an accident which wasn't my fault. If only there was some sort of injury lawyers for me, which I wouldn't have to pay unless I won the case.

Oh well, never mind.

BigBadMummy · 09/03/2010 22:14

tethersend oh no, if you have hurt yourself it means you won't be able to twirl around in your white trousers "with confidence".

Shame there isn't something you could wear to allow that to happen.

I know BBM... I love twirling around in those white trousers .

In fact, that's how I had the accident that wasn't my fault. I was twirling around at work, getting all hot and sticky, eating an egg sandwich when I slipped on a patch of Bisto and cut myself (there were no warning signs and my leg was too badly damaged to work). Now my white trousers are ruined.

If only there was a washing powder that could remove blood, sweat, gravy and egg...

SprocketAndTubbs · 09/03/2010 23:24

Nothing but nothing is as bad as that bl**dy advert with the patronising over-egged accent announcing how much this woman used to 'hate eating yogurt - just look at my face' - Well, if you hate it that much, don't eat it!!

She looks like she needs a bit more than a french yogurt to cheer her up.

Jeeeeez it drives me bonkers and I always have to switch over when it comes on.

ouryve · 09/03/2010 23:25

I always turn the radio over or off when that comes on. Hate it!

tootyflooty · 10/03/2010 12:11

you want annoying, the go compare ad does my head in, I turn off the radio in the car at the first hint of it.The actor in it will probably never get another job !!!!

McDreamy · 10/03/2010 12:12

I loooooooooove it! It makes me smile

LadyOfTheFlowers · 10/03/2010 12:15

It was bad with just the music and the car animation/cartoon thing, but the breakdancing blokes in suits....! It is pretty bad!

moffat · 10/03/2010 12:15

yanbu - it's horrible

EarthMotherImNot · 10/03/2010 12:18

I posted about that yogurt one couple of weeks ago Sprocket.

I mean how come her shirt is all crumpled in the nasty yogurt one then all pressed and pristine in the nice one.

And...... how come she's at least a foot taller in the nice one and her face is all glowing.

That'll be the alien yogurt people who've abducted the first poor woman and sent in their clone

EllieMental · 10/03/2010 12:19

love it (but then i am an ex-raver.....!)

and see, I find THIS less annoying than the original!

GothAnneGeddes · 10/03/2010 12:20

"Any, any, any, any, any.."

No advert is as bad as any Special K advert, particularly the breakfast one.

EarthMotherImNot · 10/03/2010 12:20

They could add a theme tune, wait for it......

send in the clones

DressageNut · 10/03/2010 13:03

Apparently (according to petrolhead DH) they promise a seller top price when he/she rings up. Then, after you have taken the trouble to get your car to their premises, they keep you waiting for up to three hours before sending an assessor to examine your car. The assessor then goes over it looking for anything which could detract from its value, and...surprise surprise...offers a pitifully low price.

Chirpy breakdancing twats in suits is a cheap and deceptive front for trading on peoples' desperation.

Yuk!

ArcticFox · 10/03/2010 13:18

Yeah, the prices are pretty low BUT I used them to sell our car when we moved overseas and they provide a useful service.

They gave me a quote on the website and then took £100 off that when they saw it (it had been in the wars a bit tbh- there was an incident with a horse trough).

At that stage I just wanted it gone. I got £1000. Selling it privately I "might" have got £2000 but I would have had to waste my last 2 weeks in the UK seeing time wasters and stressing about what I was going to do if I didnt sell it.

I guess they are the buyer of last resort but at least they are a buyer.
