  1. Don't get talked into you completing the export section with your details (you are not exporting it). I seem to remember you give them the full log book and keep a copy of their ID with the purchase receipt etc.
  2. I'm with you, its a very simple search engine on the classic site (mobile app is rubbish). Its far better than AT as an advertisng medium in every respect IMO, apart from it doesn't attract the same clientele as AT....
  3. James, when there are variances in values, its risky.... My advice would be to research thoughly then work out your retail back value, its the only true way to calculate your required ROI.
  4. When I changed to CD5, I specifically wanted simple and straightforward, not clutter, just easy clear adverts. Fuss free (stock on front page) easy to negotiate. It annoys the hell out of me when I look at dealer websites and you have to be Sherlock to find a car...
  5. Nik, your website is in your details mate.
  6. I know exactly where you are coming from, I've never had any intent to be huge... I like being my own boss and now with the kids, I just want an easy life watching them grow at weekends, we've gota static in Newquay. To be fair, I sell everything remotely so it gives me alot of freedom, I just feel robbed with that AT bill when its quiet.... We all know how that feels....
  7. How many do you stock ? , does eBay bring in most of your sales ? I would love to lose my £1700 AT month fee, thats 15+2 but my usage is running at about 70%....
  8. I do't mark it sold until its gone....
  9. I sold a few ultra low mileage school mini busses to this guy in Africa, I seem to remember it was from Tanzania. He paid upfront and sent a guy over here to drive them back...
  10. Believe me, if I knew the answer...... The good thing is I don't have anything older than 5 months..... Those on here will have cars which have beome part of the family.... Its like a sweet shop, bonbons might be selling quickly and then all of a sudden its sherbert dips, then chewings nuts..... Oh and btw guys, I am not laughing iat anyone who has a car that is growing roots.
  11. Typically bullshit then.... Did you get my voicemail ?
  12. Guys, I don't tend to take note of AT's emails because we all know their figures are fundamentally flawed....But, my stats show "27 average days to turn over your forecourt". My question is...is this good beacause it doesn't say anything about other dealers ?
  13. I'm lost.... All us Devon boys are huge.... not
  14. To all the newbies out there, here is a genuinely good short video on how to do minor scratch repairs. I know there are lots of repair vids on YouTube but this guy explains it well and is credible.
  15. Result, very good idea to plug it in. I think twerp is right price wise, you could even go £4790 because of the quality of service you are offering. Don't under value it.
