I know a girl who works for BCA and there's no info yet as to when they are re opening any time soon. My thoughts are its going to be online only , cant see how a physical auction can operate , but who's going to buy 60% of the stock without hearing it or seeing it , Cheaper stuff will be a nightmare for most people . Rules will have to change to sell 100% online in my opinion , no good return it , but who pays that bill

Here’s how to avoid SOGA and make money selling cars
David Horgan replied to Wheelerdealer1's topic in General Dealer Chat
These sorts of business presentations that purport to be auctions and sign this that and the other will get come backs wont they . Just imagine how many punters are actually put off complaining though by signing that trader document . Only get one or two back , just buy em back , sell em again , bob your uncle . Its a numbers game for those types at the end of the day . Chap we know trades on the numbers game , he reckons on 20 % moaners , 80% of them go away after being shouted at he says , the others he strings them out to dry till the pip squeaks then it only leaves one to buy back , they are that exhausted they take his offer of less than trade money . Sometimes giving back less than he paid for the pile in the first place , he thinks that's just hilarious . He has that brash in your face personality , BUT I also blame his greedy customers who probably researched 1,00's of adverts and found out hes the cheapest . As for the guy selling on what might be or might not be an auction , fair play if it works I suppose . Only thing that gets me mad is selling stuff that don't work properly and isn't fixed , that gets us all tarred with the same brush at the end of the day , because all punters have fell for the lets buy this one because its cheaper and had their arse burned . -
Oh Casper I love those types had one once dressed head to foot in NEW Snap On everything, even bloody gloves , Thought he was a walking advert for them . his mate bought a JAP car off us , he rang up 40 min later shouting about the clutch was CLICKING . Well bring it back then , Twat It was the Air con Pump Clutch unit , you know when it kicks and goes CLICK My son made him look like a complete FOOL

First thing to say is Don't bring your carpet and torch ; makes you look stupid Don't bring your local expert who obviously knows NOTHING , It makes you look silly If you want FINANCE , tell the truth when asked the questions relating to earnings , ETC , ; Saves time and your embarrassment PHONE us , text is ok but we respect the call from you ; Helps to make you a considered proper buyer If you say your coming COME or at least tell us otherwise . That prevents you from being RUDE . Don't come looking for an Argument ,with a sour face and attitude ,; NOT impressed and you wont get anywhere as lots wont sell you the car anyway PLEASE make sure your not looking out of your pay grade , ; Just a waste of time both ways isnt it PX cars , TELL The TRUTH , Bring the Service book , We know its value so DONT Expect a £1,000 more than its worth , Dont tell " well they are making X online " ; makes you look silly . READ the advert , has it got service history , 12 Stamps On advert you blind idiot , Don't send an email going is Price Negotiable , ; You haven't seen the bloody thing yet . There will be more but its lunch time .

Ling I was as polite as i could be in my response to your post wasn't I , To accuse me of blaming 5g next is completely stupid , what a silly comment as i never blamed 5G did i . My feelings personally are that the Chinese Government are to blame for this world disaster , they should hang their lying heads in shame . " my view " The people boycotting local restaurants are a direct result of me knowing a Chinese family running one near us , sold them cars serviced their cars so we know them well , People are not going to their takeaway anymore its that simple , they are distraught about the feelings towards them , but that's what disasters do . China is China I agree with you there and now the world knows China a little better doesn't it unfortunate as it is,as they now know more about the BAD than the good don,t they . This is where resentment will stem from . There will be millions that hate China for this pandemic disaster as the virus is killing their loved ones . Now as you mentioned 5G , well my own feelings regarding 5G is the Chinese Firm should bend over and have 5G stuffed where the sun doesn't shine , There is no come back from rudeness like that is there . Hoping you choke on a fortune cookie shows true feelings doesn't it . leopards never change their spots as they say .

Thats a scary report of China Ling I know your Chinese by birth and I have no personal reason to dislike Chinese people , so this is not a shot at being nasty . BUT with just what you have told us here about the way the Communist Government go about control of people , it really make me wonder if the west has any business dealing with them at all . World feeling is changing as more info comes out about how China conducts its self , more negative information will only be greeted with negative reaction , and when the lies come out the Shit will hit the fan big time . I know they make most of the products the world uses because of cheap labour and business won't want to stop dealing with them least because of profit margins , but if the end buyers say NO with their wallets it could change the way the world trades The fact that China is telling lies will eventually be heard by all wont it and that will affect millions of peoples thoughts Some bad feelings are building with people down here at a very local level , even boycotting Chinese restaurants is being spoke of when reopening finally takes place . According to to road I live on people wont use the local Chinese Restaurant any more when it opens again , Shame because they are a nice family , but feelings run deep in times like these . Took years for a whole generation to buy German and japanese after the war war 2 so its not a new feeling . My Three uncles never bought a Jap or German car because of what they saw . no doubt the Chinese authorities have covered this up .man made or animal made it was let out by China , I think they may well be made to pay for that somehow . Hope your family are ok back home Ling , best wishes to them all , sad times all for the wrong reasons eh ,

What are the best cars for a summer wedding?
David Horgan replied to Kongah's topic in General Dealer Chat
That's useful when weddings are banned shops shut too . Be open next spring if they are lucky Have to have two Etypes now to comply with social distancing rules , bride and groom in separate cars . Interesting honey moon night at two meters -

Casper in my head a 308CC auto diesel isn't worth the effort of a normal valuation reply , but we buy any car have stopped giving valuations now and so has our local Evans H place so getting rid of the undesirable heaps of poop has now got to rely on the value they are actually worth . 308 HDI SE FAP convertible auto , black , two Service stamps , last serviced 37400 miles , MOT has low pads all round , rear tyres nearing legal limit , 47k on clock , declared DPF fault with anti pollution light on and in limp mode , Bearing in mind we couldn't touch the car even if I could do the deal safely then couldn't get parts to fix it till probably August at best , £20 wotrth of Disinfectant and steam to just get inside the bloody thing i'm really thinking £50 and scrap the Fing heap That's going to be a difficult time isn't it . Excuse me dear customer while we steam clean your car and disinfect it for appraisal , by the way that's £100 +vat for the privilege of cleaning your car

That's the same number I had in mind casper but then again it just home a problem , How on earth can we take a PX off someone safley "we can't can we " Even if they dumped onsite , put the keys in a Dettol cloth and left it , be weeks before we could touch it . I agree with you there pal , imagine the shite after this lot , no MOT for 6 month is going to bring some proper smiles to the deals . But we didn't need to MOT it did we LOL no you didnt but it's completely bollocoxed now ist it my dear customer who wants to palm it off on someone else

I personally don't get the difference between Delivery and handover if the customer arrives to collect a car . **Delivery **, you arrive with a truck/trailer and hand over at a distance , Q how does the paper work here differ from collection .how does the actual car differ from collection . Collection : Customer arrives not at the showroom but maybe the car park . Cant test drive car , cant touch paper work , uses bank transfer to pay , picks keys off the windscreen and drive off so its essentially the same as being at their House isn't it . whats 50 miles either way going to make a difference ? Is any of these systems actually essential journeys NO not in my mind anyway Even if its an essential worker its the same isn't it , HOW on gods earth can a nurse just get in a car they have bought from a stranger without knowing its biologically clean and drive it to hospital to work with patients? _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I have an email just now , Hi interested in your Sportage and i have a px too . I have explained that its impossible to evaluate a px at a distance or hand over a car safely at a distance . She said but i need a car as this car i'm trying to get rid of has faults and its not reliable turns out DPF antipollution lights on and in limp mode 308cc 2.0diesel auto 59 plate car 47k on clock , she only wants £3,500 it "values at 2k clean " in good times and working , just about the most undesirable heap of shite on earth in my head Told her we don't take faulty cars as PX as we cant get parts to fix it . Lets see where she takes that

24/7 car finance still doing deals
David Horgan replied to David Horgan's topic in General Dealer Chat
Think i went in or did I ? , Its an essential trip I check to see if we are open or not . Did i put closed on the door or not ?. Cant remember locking the door after i put a PX in front of the door now , Then did I lock the PX or not? lol Need another essential trip now in the morning to repeat the process . Might take the dog with me this time too , needs a walk he does . No body there so I cant be breaking any rules can I ? No one comes near you anyway if you walk a German Shepard , Even in normal times they cross the road when they see him -
How does this work then , 24/7 calls me and asks if i can deal on a car for their customer , she passed finance , deals sorted and wants to collect . They wont pay out till customer gets to site with the car as they have been doing deals were they pay out and customer goes to collect but the dealer isn't there because they are closed for the virus . Makes me wonder if we are shut or not .
