Yep, already reduced my spots from 14 to 8 and removed the finance charge they added for april. will just have to start “cycling” my adverts regularly to get all Cars seen throughout the week.

I have very few issues with them. Just remember to change the gasket in the Ecu - rain water loves getting in there!

If you want to be successfull at this job,you only need to do half days.The key to this is you must work half days everyday of the week and the other 12 hours are yours !

Tom, we are in both Yeovil and Bridport.

Make it well clear. We’ve even done a few ex panda cars. Sell well but need to be sold a lot cheaper than none police as no matter how much prep you do and regardless of how well mechanically maintained they are they still feel worn. Punters tend to overlook that when they see the 4 page long maintenance record though. I think some people like the novelty of owing an ex old bill car too.

Well it looks like my ‘challenge’ has got people thinking, a very diverse mix of responses and some interesting ideas. It is a big part of the operating cost of running a car sales business and its good it’s finally got people comparing what they pay, if nothing else some of you may have ammunition to negotiate a reduction if you’re still with them. I’ll start from the beginning of April, I need to work out a fair way to compare, probably v’s the same month in the two previous years and as the months go by a picture should start to unfold, I’ll either be saving money and still selling enough or not, there’s no in between. Good luck to all and I’ll update regularly as there has been genuine interest in this topic. Arthur Thicken driving the prices down.....

I made my own using Excel, then added my logo - meant I could print them rather than a scruffy mechanic finger print on them. Happy to send you it by email?
