Sourced a year old c class coupe for a friend of mine recently. £25,000 car and borrowed the lot from a supermarket lender. Is paying back a little over £26,000 over 5 years. No wonder the finance companies can't compete!

Bit of a heads up, Some good deals to be had plus even more discount if you have a trade card. Just spent far to much on impulse purchasing.

Their Advanced tools are very very good value and are good quality.

Doing more finance than ever this year largely due to marketing, pushing deals that look attractive and being competitive on rate whilst still earning. Stock profile also. Makes a big difference monthly when the cheque rolls in. I have put a lot of effort into making it work with a lot of trial and error but seems to be good for now. CF247 don't pay them anything. Sacked them off following them repeatedly sending us invoices for cars customers had seen on Autotrader / facebook etc and despite us and the customer telling them this they were not interested.

The only thing missing here is a Parkers valuation and you'll send me back in time 15 years when I used to read that crap every now and then.

+1. In December 2016 I had 12 sales (12-14 stock) 8 were convertibles (Boxster, 3 series, A4, TT Roadster, Merc CLK and SLK). Especially the hardtop models I think are not seasonal in demand at all, plus my advertising always mentions that this is the best time of the year to buy one. For me at least it's true. Are you kidding? My cars are not costing me, they are paying me OR at least keeping some money outside the poorly paying banking system. CALCULATE DAILY PROFIT

Good cheap convertibles,I don’t think so.Out of interest I was annoyed with a friend yesterday at Newcastle where there was a 12 207 CC Roland Garros 8k ,white,leather etc ..a rare car.One or two said they wanted it and I was asked by this guy who I know well how much I had for it.I said north of £5k and he said how much more.So I said £5500 ish and his reply was it will never bring that much and the others agreed which inferred to me that they would not bid that much.Anyway it started at 38 and I could not shake off the other hall bidder and I stopped at 5850 and it was knocked down at 59.Low and behold it was my friend who bought it.If he had told the truth he would have had it for £400 less as I would have stopped at 55 so I let him know.

Have always done better with selling them out of season rather than in. People do think they’re cheaper- but they’re not. Certainly not here. ;o)
