Proper cars can also attract proper C***S.....Doesn't matter what you sell its part of the job, you can't blame it on the car, the price, you have have to be like a psychologist and try to weigh people up when they call, if they sound like a nutter then I'll do my best to swerve them. If the car is under a grand then the majority are planks! first time buyers can be a nightmare and the main thing I dislike is they don't have a part ex, on the other hand the older generation are great, in the last month Ive took in a nissan micra 54 plate with 35k on the clock from a lovely old lady, needed a steering rack, so I allowed her £100, the next week after £170 steering rack fitted and £30 mot it was on sale and gone for £1300 by the end of the week (I should have advertised it at £1695 but hey ho) next part ex 2009 corsa, 65k in black needs a door, allowed £600, its worth £2295 all day long so plenty of profit left in that and then lastly an old chap chopped in a Hyundai Couple 2002, he'd had it from new (yes nearly 16 years) loads of history with just 50k on the clock, I tried to get it for £500 but in the end allowed £600 to get the deal done, advertised it for £1500, had quite a few enquiries so thought sod it and put it up £1895. Its the part exes that make my money up every month and they generally sell quicker, yes I'd love to be selling every car with a clear £1500 profit in it after vat but thats what Im working my way towards....slowly slowly catch the monkey, small acorns turn into mighty oaks...thats what I keep telling myself anyhow
