I accept PayPal occasionally for downpayments, “deposits” are a non-tangible item thus they are not covered by chargebacks. I definately would not accept PayPal for a full payment. Make sure you write on the money request “deposit for (reg) balance blah on collection” in the description section, this coveris yourself.

Same here, I keep looking to see if its reappeared....Sadly no

Hi guys, I can get in easily 18 maybe 20 with a squeeze. I’m looking forward to learning the best way to take appealing pictures inside and video presentation:)

I have no idea... to be fair I just want somewhere to store them.

You’ve got all the foundations right, you just need to sort out the bad language/ grammar and make your cars stand out with consistent corporate photos. It needs tweaking:) Imo

When do you call it a day on a lot? // What's your longest?
Arfur Dealy replied to D&M's topic in General Dealer Chat
I bought an Auris by mistake last year, thought I was bidding on a Jag..... anyway, I priced it cheap from the off to get rid and it still sat around for 6 months laughing at me reminding me what a twat I was for bidding outside the rostrum... Lesson learnt -
Just reading the above makes my blood boil ! Time wasters, I absolutely hate them with a vengeance along with “middle lane” & “outside lane” hoggers and the “last price m8” cretins. Don’t get me started

It’s started well with 4 so far

I would walk away, but I don’t like buying unknown problems. However, if the price is right and you have the time to fix it then follow your gut and take a punt....

Dan, Allroads are one of my favourites to see, the low mileage might be putting off along with a £500+ tax each year. Can you send a link to the advert? See = sell where is the edit button??? -
Grant 75% would be a healthy target to aim for, however you need to find and understand your market.

Well I've just taken a deposit on my current longest in stock purchased 15-05-17. A Audi 60 plate A6 3.0 tdi Quattro SE Saloon. I must keep reminding myself, stick to estates, stick to estates, stick to estates...... Still took a £300 profit though .... -
Zilch so far

How to get rid of the cheapies you dont really want??
Arfur Dealy replied to Jimbo's topic in General Dealer Chat
There’s money in those bangers, it’s very rare I actually scrap a car (only 1 last year). I just do a brutally honest video appraisal with an intro stating no idiots / Trade disposal. As long as you are not greedy they usually sell within a week. I also get payment upfront to ensure no messing. The last one I did was last week, a battered 2005 d4d Verso 150k which owed me £300, sold to a for £1200. Easy money -
TV, the internet and BIN online is the way I see the future of car sales.. Make the purchase simple and offer complete and utter guarantees. Im going down this route, customer FB keeps telling me this way to go....

I always sit on my cars until their sold, if I have bought it I stand by it. My approach teaches me desirability and sale ability because this trade is so fickle you have to constantly change. -
Finished the year really strong with 10 cars sold from the 21st to the 30th. Historically, for me its always a busy time, January is usually really good aswell but not a sniff as yet.....

To buy Trade insurance you need proof you are a genuine Motor Trader with purchase invoices & receipts. Gone are the days of buying a policy without genuine proof.

Citroen C4 ECU replacement
Arfur Dealy replied to Beautiful South Martin's topic in General Dealer Chat
Definitely go down the repair route if possible. Otherwise, any mileage correction (man in a van) will be able to alter an ECU to your requirements. -
TV, "Retail Back" is a AT term derived from Retail Check ......Essentially, AT have given the pricing backwards strategy a name to what we have been doing for years anyway.

I always ask for their bottom line. Sometimes it’s much less than you expected, I also always ask if they have got a “we buy any car” value.
