Thats not good . How did the car get to Lookers ? What sort of motor was it ?
-
What a pair of plonkers . I would have had to say something to them

I was thinking this , the chassis number must be different and will give the police the correct plate number for the smashed up car .

Don't waste your money pal , Every one I've ever seen are complete Shite . They dare not tell you its a good car because if you find a fault you blame them . If they say its got issues , you believe them and you don't get the car , but they get your money . All they do is drink coffee write a report to their benefit and take your dosh . -
I might join the private bit . Is it fun ?

Shhh Don't shout too loud , Good job the wife cant get on here Sue doesn't need blowing up any more , Lets just say she wouldn't drown . As for boobs " I really don't know what you mean Trade Girl " Thought we were the subject of boobs oops i meant tyres

An Auctioneer called Sue charges a lot more the 20p to blow anything Iv'e been told , But she certainly isn't deflated . Could be the person to contact , then your tyre would get blown and your deflation wouldn't be a problem any longer .

You need a couple of ideas in your head of how to close the deal , Plant the seed that its a nice car on the test drive , find out before the test drive if they have looked at more of the same model . Coming to the end of the test drive ask the question " Well it drives nice doesn't it ? I would think you like it too ? As you get back to the office and out the car the closure question . Do you like enough to buy it then ? and i'll get the tea on while we do the paper work . Why ? because lots of times sales are lost because the trader doesn't close and the customer doesn't know what comes next , so they wander off till I get them and close the deal

That's very good basic business sense . My sales techniques offer more advice about the days weather than the car . They will decide to buy from you or not , let them choose . Answer questions with a very short yes or no eg "how many services ? , the answer is 6 " NOT 1 at BMW in , 2 at jack spratts garage on and 3 more at John jones but it needs another in 3,000 miles . , details kills sales because who your talking to doesn't understand anything about a cars working . Q ;Has the chain been replaced? , Answer is "the chain on this car is absolutely fine" because they are not looking for it to be changed but they've read on google that the chain goes wrong , so assurance is needed in their mind that this one is no problem . Be sure its ok though of course , reputation is important

Extremely good looking £450 px 22yrs and on her own She was in good hands Casper and so was my bank account cant use the heated wheel for four months either

Just had a girl in for a new car , 65 plate Corsa she wants , Has a 08 plate corsa now to PX , 60,000 miles to which says there's no service history "its been serviced cos daddy has arranged it " she had no idea what a service was . Wants to sell her car because she wants Blue tooth and her friend has one with heated steering wheel so she wants that too Condition of car , service history , two keys , New MOT , Nearly new tyres , Just serviced ,how much her car was worth doesn't mean squat to her , wasn't even listening Colour , Blue tooth , Heated Wheel , was the search priority then monthly payments was next , Propped finance and she sat trembling for 3 mins till they said accepted and she jumped for joy . I probably need to look at a different approach to selling cars as this is now the norm here , different world to mine .

Its the modern car that's shite more than BCA I reckon . The problem started with making these cheap little Shitty cars cos people only know CHEAP the general public have forgotten the phrase " Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten " They just pass the problem on down the line now ,

Depends if its a car we stock as far as I'm concerned . If it is I ask for a time scale of 1 month and £1,000 up front . If it isnt a car we stock I ask for 50% of retail price . eg A guy asks me to source a BMW 320d Convertible in white with Black Leather yesterday , he's got 10k to spend so I said I don't stock those so I need 5k . He wanted to look round it first he said then make his mind up . Its A BORIS NO DEAL THEN I SAID

You wont lose £500 pal my god who knocks £500 off for another owner , get online and print a V62 off , customer comes for car then just take him/her to post office to tax it , End of drama

Great sale , Well done in the end it all worked out

They were better than the later ones for sure , the later turbo ones are a lot less reliable . We have done the same and sold no end of Cooper S turbo ones and the JCW 's but they have all required Chains , Tensioners , Turbo Pipes , Piston Rings , De Cokes , just to name a few, not high miles either . .
-
A Cooper S probably will want 4k spent on it , "Joking " er maybe not
