Everyone has internet banking and transfers are free, we all have banking on our phones. Cards machines are an unnecessary cost. Jmho

If they can’t pay by transfer or cash I don’t do business with them.

I’m gonna have to put up my hand and disagree.....Waitrose are robbing bastxrds on the bacon from, as are Sainsbury’s and if you ever have the displeasure to step into babe if the local Post Offices, they will tone uou blind for bacon... Can I try again...

I understand it’s really hard for larger independents to survive, the internet is killing your profitability. I don’t think there is an easy answer to the way the market is changing and it’s changing quickly....

I understand and agree 100% with what you are saying To quote though your website states Welcome to Motorwell Group New and Used Citroen and Fiat Main Dealer

I always struggle on low mileage, it always looks expensive to me.

BHM, you can’t be a judge on hearsay and you can’t compare cost without having the full facts. AT enables me to sell 15 cars a month, that earns me a jolly good wage. AT facilitate my business concept most effectively and with the highest ROI. When they don’t I will simply look elsewhere.

Agreed, not a sniff on mine....

Cheers

I’ve always sold high mileage, it doesn’t scare me as long as it’s low ownership, clearly been looked after with a full history. The model and spec is more important, 200k is now the old 100k.

Hi Arthur, you are a Fiat & Citroen Main Dealer with all the associated overheads. Your business is not comparable to mine, I only pay myself so I’m usually in profit by mid month. You clearly have a special deal with AT, I am sure there will be lots of very angry Dealers out there comparing what they are paying.

I’m £1600 for 15 + 3 (approx) inc VAT

Hi Mark, I price competitively within my locality 100 miles, but my cars tend be older and not mainstream so there isn’t a lot of competition. I get lots of buyers coming up from Cornwall because they realise they have to travel for the right car. I equally get buyers from London regularly because they are buying it cheaper from me. The secret is to know your market. I respect your ethos on getting things right, but your Fiat looks overpriced to me, what does the car owe you ? Can you break down its cost, hammer price, prep, paint, warranty etc... I am with everyone else on the pictures, it doesn’t look good taking pictures in a puddle in what is clearly a car park.... first impressions are everything. I have a one owner 500 Lounge which I took in PX (I know it’s pink) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/391968156827?_mwBanner=1&redirect=mobile

What about when it’s freezing cold and the exhaust is a lot more smoky? All cars do it....

Just save your pictures and video and explain when completing your PDI you keep a copy of all your advertising.

Mark, surely you understand you need your own website to be believed and trusted by your customers. CarDealer5 is fantastic value

Price paid is the price paid not the RRP

With effect from 25/05/18.

Agreed 100%

I didn’t say I didn’t have competition, I said they buy different stock.

Agreed, every car should be safe, sound and roadworthy.

We don’t compete against each other, different types of stock.

The DPA is all about information kept on computer. It covers personal information, medical, monetary records etc etc.... Nothing at all to do with a service receipt passed on by the previous owner. Now I have a real hatred for time wasters, idiots, cretins, bulliesand morons and feel it is my responsibility to stand up to the pond life, in fact I quite enjoy it Now I know, some of the wiser old owls on here have learned to stop the grief before it begins (and I agree) but sometimes these idiots need standing up to. Let the sport begin....

There’s a bloke at Bristol that approaches me when I’m looking at a car he’s clearly interested in and asks me to “flip” for it.... we’re not mates and I don’t even know his name....... I just say I’m on a commission or I’m not really interested..... The only other bidder I watch is the auctioneers eyes.....
