Isn’t it a shame though that people have come to believe this is an acceptable way of conducting themselves? I’m glad I’m not on Facebook but from what I gather one syllable words strung together without grammar is the norm for a car enquiry. After a decade or so of arguing it out with emailers on ebay I now employ a simple policy depending upon category I judge them to be in; Moronic emails are ignored, the “£800 m8?” offers on £1800 cars. These punters NEVER follow up because after years of trying I finally learned these do not buy anyway no matter what you say. I honestly believe many of these are just passing their spare time on the internet. The “best offer/last price” -type emails get a standard cut n paste response telling them I price correctly and to phone to discuss etc. Someone wants £250 off, ok phone & tell me why - I think about a total of 2 or 3 in the 18 months have actually bothered to phone! Only 1 came & bought (a taxi driver for a Hyundai Sonata ). Emails with a glimmer of hope are responded to in a professional fashion. Probably about 10% of my cars sell to people who’s initial response was by email.

There was a thread about this a couple of weeks back mate, look back a few pages and you’ll find it.

My wife takes our dog walk car 175,000 miles px A3 100 quider to waitrose . Hilarious reactions from the other Audi Merc Beemer types BUT you don't get any dinks in your paintwork as NO one parks at the side of it Even seen one Jag driver Move his car when we parked up If only they knew

I had just collected the rejected Meriva (see other post) and it is soooo quiet here, not getting on with my Landlord (we've agreed to part ways) and then I get this text (saved in my phone as Smart) - My heart sinks, sold a Smart car over 10 weeks ago, what now..... (and I quote): Update on the Smart Car. It's just bloody perfect! Thanks Steve

Its been said before and i stand by it "this is the world we now live in" social media is a great tool if used correctly, before posting i checked our leads and we get 26% of our sales from it, like anything else for it to work well it needs to be understood turn off reviews there a disaster and have the app on your phone so you can quickly delete hide block comments from the keyboard warriors, we got approx two three a month stupid comments hardly a full time job. If you manage to work the system i am yet to find a cheaper form of advertising, i fully understand it depends on what your selling in our case we find the first time driver will see the add on mongbook then turn up with his mum and dad to buy it.
