It was recently spelt out to me why selling older cheaper stuff is no longer viable and just creates ‘negative output’.While selling is not a problem,for a start there are no descent swappers or chucky commission.If you correctly account for the average prep time plus cost of parts and average cost of comebacks,the VAT bill can exceed your net profit......

Here’s today’s best phone enquiry on a £1399 gem; Punter: Hi, I’m interested in the car. Will you take £1200? Me: No but I’ll split the difference at £1300. 5 minutes of questions later........... Punter: Ok I’ll phone you NEXT Friday when I’ve got the money.

Two weeks!! hope my boys dont see that if its bought on the Saturday sale and not ready on the lot finished and ready for sale by Friday then dont get there Friday fry up.

Yeah it does amaze me. It's like they think they're being smart but fail to realize we do this for a living a see a good few of them each month. The best ones are the ones that haggle then call the next day and its sold. I love that. Jackass: But but I was going to pay a deposit. Me: No, sorry it sold. Jackass: I was only there yesterday. Me: Yes, sorry, it sold later that day. Makes me feel all warm inside.

Its not only keyboard warriors, often find them on the lot this morning was no difference. Bell end i mean customer spends a lifetime looking over a car with his expert who was more worried that the car didnt have a lot of screenwash in the bottle compared to his car, came up to me and said nah its not for me ok no worries have a nice Easter then he replies whats the best you will do for cash....yawn i replied what difference does that make the car isnt for you well if its a £1500 i will ave it i said £1500 would be a great deposit when do you wish to pay the balance of £1000 No i will leave it i got six others to see up the road, well up the road is Gower lots of lovely cliffs and beaches down there but no car sales, and six cheaper when i looked i couldnt find one with better spec miles and condition within 50miles so good luck with that search. Its hard sometimes not to come across as being an arse but it does get tiring
