VERY VERY TRUE

A lifetime ago, when I was working for a North London Toyota dealership, a Mr. Penas (yes, spelt that way) came in. This was possibly my most unprofessional episode in the business. I sat him down and started taking his details and going through the process, all the while trying (and failing miserably) to stifle the laughter. He gave me my get out of jail free card by asking about payments. Straight to the BM's office where I lost it completely. I pre-warned him and he lost it too, then came out to second face him (I couldn't speak!!). He also tried & failed to have a professional conversation but we caught each other's eye and completely lost it. That poor guy probably still hasn't managed to change his car.

I think the staff up BB keep the staples in their pockets never known such grumpy staff! Go down bridgwater in Somerset and the red carpet comes out. #Justsayin!

James, I did ask autotrader about the 'valuations' and like you believed that the prices shown are low due to car C & CAT D Cars bridging the value down, I'm told this is NOT the case , when CAT C-D Cars are highlighted with VRM , There are removed from the valuation tools so does not affect the 'retail' prices, obviously if some sellers don't use the VRM and its a CAT C/D in the wordings etc then this cannot be picked up for valuation purposes and some will slip the net. Hope this helps! GG you're a genius ! free tips always appreciated.. must check it out ! I look forward to your next tip ..... advertising cars on all platforms for free !

Unlikely, cause it is accessed via the 'advertising' portal, so i would probably reduce stock to minimum to keep facility and reduce costs, kind of a compromise to quitting completely, have you ever used the valuation tool from the AT website that customers view? I find it really helpful because no matter what the trade says, that is the info Joe Bloggs gets...
