Had one in this morning , Come 50 miles on a £13,795 car . Loved what he saw, got a 05 knackered BMW 320d sport px part service history 184,000 miles and well used shall we say regards body work and interior Wanted £2,000 , silly boy Then offered me £10k for my car , silly silly boy , He left , why do they come shopping with only 80% of the funds needed , No way on earth I would ever go shopping with not enough money , what a weird hobby , No wonder they no funds as they must spend it driving round the 5 counties looking at what they cant have . Another yesterday came on £3,799 little motor in our small car section . Dad says son wants to spend 3k but he will pay me £3,,250 as the car is so clean I said well let me explain it this way We like £650 profit £100 goes to VAT man £135 goes on service and MOT £100 on adverts £75 On valet £50 towards Rent £20 on Fuel £20 on power Electric /water etc £25 web site costs £100 wages = £625 expenses = £50 profit . See why my offer is thought out and not a guess like yours He said i was just trying my luck and paid £3,799 .

cant beat a numatic george for value and ease of use, about £220 new, you'll get 3 years hard use out of one of these with no agro.

As mentioned the AT price looks out of bed on this one, volvo bods jumping into the v60 now which look current and value. however the car has nice pedigree and spec, just think you need to re evaluate the sale. i would say - pics not great particularly the interior shots, car needs detailing better above valeting, shiny leather is dirty leather. i would do - thorough detail especially interior, look again at your photo device, photo outside in neutral light, concentrate on detailed interior shots, re word advert, price at 7995. i wouldn't be worried about stocking this car, it's a nice car, just needs to look as good as it's pedigree suggests.

I’m pretty sure it will sell off the front anyway, plus it is actually a nice car to drive so may I fact in keep it. I’ll throw the dog in the back and put on a brown cardigan with some driving gloves..... I’ll feel right at home lol

Is it Cat B on VRM and VIN? Have had in life cars put on the V-Car before due to input errors by insurers on either the chassis or reg when it matches a similar rental car. Ball ache to get off but they can do it.

Definitely needs the tyre dressing re photographed and perhaps tints too? Not too sure on Volvo buyers opinions on tints though.

Hello everyone, Newbie on here - I just wanted to introduce myself, as ive been reading the forum for a while and have signed up now. A bit about me, my name is Amer and I have been trading for 9 years, have a small pitch in berkshire for 20-25 cars. I started back in 2007 and traded from home for a few years full time, things picked up well at the time so I decided to get the pitch in 2010 and increase the level cars. With that came lots of learning which im still learning on daily basis and some hardships which many of us have all faced. My main sources are bca blackbushe and on the odd occasion walsall, I also have a few from manhiem nhampton/bham aswell. My passion for cars started from a young age thanks to my father who worked in Ford factory back in the 80's, he was always buying a car on the side and repairing it/selling it so as a child I always remember being in the garage and messing about with the spanners. I guess for most of us it runs in our blood and thats what makes us passionate about the trade. Anyways I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone on the forum, great topics and at times you all have bought a smile to my face, especially on those quiet days, I find a sense of humour makes it all better (life is to short). If I can help anyone or chip in on topics to help at least you know abit about me now Cheers, Amer.

Sounds like you were a greengrocer too in a different life

From an outside perspective, I'd do the following: Re-take photos - some of them look fine, others not so great. The Wheel photo - definitely add tyre shine, not everyone likes it but makes a huge difference on the photo's. The door card photo is blurry. I'd put the price back up and show a "Great Price" indicator rather than "Low Price" indicator. Volvo buyers don't tend to be the last price brigade, they want a quality car. We recently sold an XC70 - Not sure if you can see the old facebook ad? We have another one in stock atm - https://www.rjeautomotive.co.uk/used-volvo-xc70-ebbw-vale-south-wales-2330050

I only mention it as i avoid those posts at all costs, dont find them mentally productive at all.

Welcome Amer.
