Prob is when we do that we’re effectively seeing an “advertised” price on AT. Not so much a “sold” price. A car on AT @ £8k doesnt always mean its worth £8k as a sale ive found

The days of “resale red” seem long gone. More like 90 day red nowadays. You can shove small cars up your arse, my days are done with them & their horrible greedy buyers. 7 seaters & mid range 4x4s, especially high mileage (so it looks like a lot of flash for not much cash) are good news. I’ve also had a couple of cabriolets that the phone nearly melted over. Historically I only have any success with cabbies in winter, I reckon the summer punters think they’re being ripped off.

Injectors usually. Does the light flash, then go into limp mode then cut out?

your stock profile mirrors mine and like you I am on every internet site except autotrader, and yes its funny how they still say they saw it on autotrader, I carry up to 60 cars main road well established showroom, lots of repeat and passing trade but mainly internet and as you say its google searches that people seem start with, and like yourself it is a click dealer website.

We sell 3-20k mostly with the core business being 5-10k. Mix of stock profile but all low miles, lots of autos if poss (as few german cars as possible) and nice cars/ spec. where we can. You've got to remember that people don't just pick a sales website and then search for cars anymore, they will search in the google bar etc, and then pick results from there. We advertise on ebay (Motors pro classified with the best offer option enabled) not auctions, Facebook, Exchange and Mart, Motors, Car Gurus (you can use them for free). Motors and X&M who feed to many other sites like RAC cars etc. We use the excellent Click Dealer for our website needs. I also do a local rag advert full page when I feel like it at £140 plus VAT. All of that cost is CONSIDERABLY less than AT. It's very funny but we still get customers telling us they saw the car on AT and swear blind - even though we've not advertised with them for over a year. I've mentioned this before on another thread about my hatred of what AT have become and the fact that the world does not end when you leave them. also, if your website is an AT website, then just because the punter ends up on there, doesn't mean that's where they went to first or how they came to your car.
