Now is it....... Ass hole or Asshole?

Loving the irony aswell......

Dan, you need to qualify the customer and get a commitment prior to appointing them, they need to know your time isnt to be wasted (politely) and you only appoint genuine buyers, equally they need to know that you guarantee you will not be wasting their very precious time. If they start making excuses, “I have 27 other vehicles I need to see before I ask my dad for a loan..... My method is upfront and fare and ensures neither parties time isn’t wasted.

I am absolutely with you, its like when someone idiot cuts you up on the road and then gives you the bird, unjust and completely unfair. But, to act with road rage is wrong. The secret now is to respond by belittling / dismissing the prick in the most politest and professional way. Your review readers will see he’s the moron and appreciate your rational reply.

You don’t need a court order for eBay, just complete a defamation form and the comments will be removed. https://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/policies/defam.html

My bread and butter. Yes they do have problems, but once you know them you know which ones to buy.

What we do is a production line. You need to set it up and constantly watch / manage it to be as effective and efficient as possible. No different than working in a factory or in an office, the principal is exactly the same. We manage delegation.

Mark, it won’t get any easier. You just need a constant stream of new stock coming through. Logistics will be your biggest issue, moving stock from A2B and managing the garages.

Anybody can tax any car by the v5/2 ref number on DD. No need to register the car in your name, simply cancel theDD when sold, if you pay by card the refund will go to the previous owner.

Agreed, and they know it. sometimes you have to get in bed with the devil

Btw, there’s nothing to stop you increasing the price of the car to cover the costs, you just aren’t allowed to charge a separate cc fee me thinks

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.
