It hasn't been deleted, it's been moved to a 'sales person' only section of PH.

Don't really know why.
it was because we were getting constant abuse mate
10 years in 'the trade' have given me thick skin.
Was the same few fools constantly posting on every thread.

Couldn't they just have stopped Deva Link from posting in it? It was a really enjoyable and interesting read.

Personally I would really like to see this thread back again. I think it was one of the most interesting reads on the forum.

It wasn't just him but I get what you mean, an interesting and useful thread.

One of my fav threads too.

Maybe idiots asking for free HPI checks and valuations didn't help matters.

There's links to this thread there so some Audi guys should be in touch.
Don't suppose there are any from Ford still posting?

I've got some 'best prices' from the obvious prices, and want to see if anyone on here can offer anything before I do the deal.

PM me, I've already sold a fellow PHer a Fiesta this year at a much better price then his local dealer offered!

Could there not be a thread set up to ask car salesmen for deals on new and used cars? Sort of like the opie oils thread that is pinned? That would be useful and a way for people to 'potentially' get better deals?
Eg. I need car x this age etc, is there anyone that could sort me out a deal?

It was a pity we lost it. That was a really useful thread.

As so often the case, the minority spoiling it for everyone.

I miss it.

It was a great thread.

We've had four attempts now and every time someone comes along Fing and blinding at car salesmen/ women, and acts like a dog with a bone when we ask them to leave it alone.

It's so tiring to see time after time and I have no doubt this will go the same way. It's a shame, I agree, but hopefully those that spoil it can learn from their absence.

Can you not just remove the cretins from posting in there? Seems such a shame to lose the thread, was an interesting read.

I miss the thread as well, was always a good read and seeing how the various people from different marques got about.

Shame it got pulled, but as Garlick has said, maybe those who keep ruining it will eventually learn.

I don't think any of us minded them. I did loads of HPI checks for people.

It was the people telling us how shyte we are at our jobs and how much better we would be if we followed their advice etc etc ad infinitum that got a bit annoying....
