It's almost 3 years since we stopped advertising with Autotrader and although 'they' (the doubter said we would not survive without them) , here we are not only surviving but thriving without the burden of the Autotrader invoices that everyone and their dog moans about! (especially the 5 week months) So I have decided to share with you all, via a Podcast interview with Derek Blair from www.cardealerpodcast.co.uk how we achieve sales through Facebook.

Find out how we have managed...... Any questions feel free to shout! Jim

Same here. The website they offer is good and also the 12 months free breakdown cover is a nice bonus for the customer but as for site traffic it seems very poor. I am paying 150 a month and so far have also had 0 calls and 0 emails.

Been with them 2 months, not a single call or email. If it doesn't improve, I will be stopping in January.

'Under selling' How many of you are underselling your stock ? Strange question you may think? I've come across this again a few minutes ago with a customer I've been trying to source a car for, this time it's an Audi dealer selling a Q5 , BIG group , and bizarre how they must price their cars, I guess it's down to individual sites etc, however a quick look on their own website and prices all over the place. This particular car , Just arrived in to stock ( unit stocking suggests 07-09-15) No pictures on the website as yet , website says 40,000 miles - Actual Mileage 46,000m - Full spec not shown but has few more than what's mentioned ... advertised at £22000 - Customer told can have it for £20850 !! Big discount for a new car into stock for whatever reason ! now the numbers GG £19850 Retail £22650 ATM £19626 Retail £23550 CAP £18500 Retail £21900 One owner , full dealer history car , will come with full 12 Months Audi warranty , Now is it me or are they under selling the car ? Good colour Daytona grey / Black leather ! IS this why everyone is trying to compete with these deals ? or saying its quiet when you have a car similar but marked up at I believe higher price ? Has the dealer undervalued his own brand or do they know something we don't ? Any thoughts ?

Sold three cars last week total - very quiet. Sold three cars today - excellent day. Strange industry at times!

bit of lacquer in it, let it dry, then touch up on top, let it dry and repeat until the crater is filled, then a quick polish back with a light compound.......it'll never disappear unless you get it painted but it'll look better

Are you happy to do it yourself ? Gets some paint ready mixed with the lacquer build it up, den nib or wet flat back with 1500grit, then 2000 then 3000 then polish then refine to remove holograms. Chipex do a kit, have vet a look at this http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=217520
