Really? I’d imaging there isn’t enough TS officers to deal with every dodgy internet sale, certainly not to investigate individual cases. Bodgit & Scarper will be doing good trade via their £30 phones. If you were a bit unscrupulous I reckon you could be raping the arse out of punters at the moment, especially as plenty of them are of the ‘greedy parasite’ variety - all waiting to be had over. Funnily enough I already know of one greedy **** who’s been had for £1500 over a £2500 item - the greedy are always taken in by a cheap price.

Great guest, really enjoyed it, great insight. The podcast done by Dave Anderson really is fantastic, listened to it couple of days ago ! It's HERE

Morning all Coming up at midday, I'l be chatting to Peter Vardy on Car Dealer Live - join us here https://cardealermagazine.co.uk/publish/car-dealer-live-21-peter-vardy-ceo-peter-vardy/190819

I think it was Vardy’s who pulled off a master stroke a few years before they sold out.They had thousands of customers who were in big negative equity with finance deals.I often heard our guys describe some punter that we couldn’t deal because they had been ‘Vardy’d’.Legend has it that Vardy’s contacted all their punters who were halfway into their finance agreement.They apparently sent them a template letter for them to sign ,voluntary terminating their finance agreement.Halfway through an agreement you are entitled to do that but it had passed us by.The punters then just bought another car from Vardy’s .If it was true,I thought it was brilliant.

great interview, i always thought the family pulled off one of the best moves ever in this industry, sold out to pendragon in 2005 for £450m, at the time of sale the reg vardy brand name was so strong in the north east that it wasn't included in the sale! then used the money to start again with the same name, and quickly became worth more on paper than pendragon, legendary stuff.

thanks again !

Hello everyone, lovely to see a forum dedicated to the motor trader industry! Can’t wait to get to know new people and learn new things!

Wow great literally just watched it!

Excellent can these interviews get better? I was really taken by the leadership idea before young ones go out in the world,I never had that and I think in today's world it's a great idea. So great that Peter vardy is doing this and out of profits too and including car buyers,its really great and looking after his staff . Thanks umesh too, I'm working my way through the link you provided,I've been listening to car dealer sales talk from Pennsylvania this last 2 days

Looking forward to it .

Cheers Casper & NOA, Hope you and yours are all good ............ Yup Mel and I both good

JLR, Aston Martin, Vauxhall announced today they're opening up as did B&Q Am still going to sit back and wait for the second surge of cases because there will be a lot. People will become complacent. If am wrong then am wrong. Still a lot of people dying daily 600+ today and I think the big bosses are just concerned about £££
