  3. Earlier
  4. Been out all day quafing ales in Durham and came home to read that the wicked witch is DEAD Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
  5. Brilliant !, “ They are transitioning to a pure play automotive market place and exiting fulfilment operations.How good is that for ‘gobshite ‘,you couldn’t make it up.Their proposed platform will need to be free of charge to get the trade to support them.They would be better off getting into the Hand Car Wash ‘ industry ‘ ( Sustainable Net Zero Automotive H2O Cleansing )as most of us started out washing cars and then progressed from there.
  6. Will the dealers have to reimburse finance company?
  7. Telegraph reporting that Administrators have already been lined up.
  8. He hasn’t broken any laws, theirs is a risk with any investment. Immoral for sure, but not illegal. It’s the .com bubble revisited.
  9. Try Steve Mealor at Gallaghers Insurance 07879 426446. Very helpful and competitive.
  10. Speak to Howden's ( Formely Aston Lark) speak to Jem 07850 322592 mention me and #theIMDA !
  11. Who’s the best for trade insurance? Prices going through the roof this year? Mines gone up by nearly a £1000!!
  12. Hello, I know this is a long shot as it’s good main dealer stock, but I am looking for the following, AUDI A5, COUPE, 40 TFSI/TDI, BLACK EDITION/ EDITION 1, 2022/23, average miles. I have exhausted all of my usual channels, to no avail. With the new reg coming up, what are people’s expectations on the affect it will have on the nearly new prices? Many thanks
  13. Why isn't Alex Chesterman being investigated for one of the largest frauds in Automotive history? Getting large backers, huge hype without any substance and then taking 100 million at least and leaving it to crash and burn????
  14. If it wasn’t for the severity of CRA 15 discouraging bona fide dealers from retailing decent cheapies ( and paying VAT on them ) ,there might not be a black market in them.Out of interest,it appears that the ex Lib Dem MP Jo Swinson aswell as being the author of CRA 15 was also a Post Office minister in the Coalition Government allegedly encouraging the fake prosecution of sub postmasters ……..and we are regarded as being dodgy ?
  15. My understanding is that selling platforms are now being forced to report back once a cash/sales limit is reached. The bots do the heavy lifting in all this.
  16. we sold nothing until 11th Jan then 21 so far this month near identical to last year
  17. We’ve had a good month, but have blown our brains in a few cars and haven’t had the level of big hitters. However still achieved target.
  18. Hey everyone happy new year, with January ending soon. Just wanted to see how everyone has been doing with sales this month? We’ve been quite busy which I was shocked about, but last year January was the same. How were your sales last year too? Was it better than previous years or was it unusually slow? Anyone thinking to quite trading all together? happy dealing guys!
  19. AAAAAHHHHHHHHH facebook marketplace............................ eastern block heaven for selling
  20. In retirement,congratulations.You will find it strange not having the daily aggravation to deal with.
  21. I think one of the best was a customers wife who was shouting at me, due to her husband buying a car a week before the 10% car tax was scrapped. Apparently I should have known………
  22. I don’t think it’s the salespersons fault. Unfortunately some people are just idiots and I’ve had my share over the last few years years too. They annoy the living day lights out of me. The good ones make make it worth it though!!
  23. It's actually disgraceful how many businesses are classed as private to get round the draconian one way ebay has become Shame but I suppose you can't blame them the sellers The new deal is Facebook marketplace but boy how are hmrc going to keep up on there
  24. I told all my customers they were getting 7 days or your money back but didn't use it these last 10 years He is clearly a moaner and I have to say he would have failed my attitude test and the car he wanted always got a major problem seconds before he came for another apraisal just before he said it will be cash you know or we took a deposit on it only 10 minutes ago sir sorry about that, you must have passed him on the way in Life was too short to help the cares in the comnunity If they show signs of pissing you off today then they will definitely be back if you bend and show weekness to them before during or after the sale Some people live to create problem's Currently in the club watching the snooker and enjoying retirement Remember you are the captain and all customers need permission to board your vessel
  25. I very much doubt that HMRC are now going to start chasing Facebook ‘ ne’er do wells ‘ or anyone else without assets or funds.
  26. Clearly the guy has issues,he may suffer from Autism.Whoever sold it to him needs to be penalised,it should have been evident to them within 2 mins of meeting him.I am sorry to say but I think the problem maybe that you need to employ ‘pro’ salespeople who are able to qualify your punters better.I started advertising our 7 Day Money Back Guarantees nearly 25 years ago which quickly routed out any difficult punters ……..and it generated a lot more business for us.It was one of the best things we ever did .
