  1. Your a trader charge yourself trade money " simples " You can sell them at what price you like cant you .
  2. Plenty of VW stuff with no air . Someone owned it before so it will sell , they like VW stuff because they are reliable
  3. The guy on the trumpet is pretty good at that isn't he .
  4. All over a bonnet cable , "wow " Why does everyone have to threaten people over a £20 fix . That comment was buyers remorse wasn't it , decided she wants a different car .
  5. Doesn't take that long to become a millionaire in the motor trade . You have to START with a £1,000,000 and see if you can still have a Million next year , then you KNOW you can be a pro Car Trader ,
  6. We have the Snap On Solus Pro and the top end Autel + a MAC Version plus VAG Com , they all do different jobs to varying degrees of ease and standard Umesh . Its always best to show the guys in the workshop what you have in mind , then get one or the other loaned to you and get the guys to try them out ,
  7. Do you trade cars ? How Long have you been doing so if you do ?
  8. Sounds like buyers remorse , just found out it wont be worth above £1,500 next year with another 15k on the clock and the wifes threatening to stop his allowance . Plus he may have to replace some parts after 6 times round the planet and 10 yrs . Shopping outside his budget I reckon . Plus the MAIN dealers just love milk this type of situation on the chance you may send them a cheque for £3,000 to get it all done . .
  9. Not round here ,Car traders are dropping like lemmings they are , either building on the plots , Selling caravans , Selling Vans ,or doing a runner But you cant get a plumber though at any price
  10. What did the customer pay ? What mileage has that car done ? What car is it ? He's expecting over 3k in fixes Took him 7 weeks to wear it out too
  11. Damn I missed it Great News Mark , Look a lot better on someone elses drive
  12. Hope you have the type of coffee I like when I come to view the Kia Mark
  13. Oh My God they are all out today Your so greedy wanting to earn a living and not taking the nice mans offer , He wanted you to take the risk , warrant the car , clean and inspect it , MOT it Service it , and present it for sale for £50 profit , wasn't he generous , and you would have had a quick 50 quid too ,
  14. Hasn't got Finance interest I never buy off friends or relatives or sell to them either . NEVER
  15. How super generous of him wonder if he would shell out the warranty costs when it went BANG after you lost money on it
  16. Just wait till you get into the madness You will be writing a book like the rest of us The best comment I like is " I know you need to earn a BIT on top " and they mean a bit too £50/£100 is their meaning of bit to earn , and that's the clever ones . Funny old world nowdays
  17. Just to top it off Mark . I'm JUST locking up and phone goes . Hello my battery went flat last night and the KEY code doesn't work so my CD player isnt working . WELL TRY THE BLOODY RADIO CODE THEN
  18. Log off and back in . Never fails , No Clue why but it seems to work
  19. Had two calls today , yep TWO on same subject . Hello I bought a car off you last year , One in Aug one in Oct 18 Both want to sell me their cars back , not refund as no complaints , just want to sell their cars as one is planning to buy a house , one is moving to London . Turns out that they want the full retail price back they paid for it One was £9,495 bought in August last year on Finance HIM " I had a 3k px and £6,495 on finance " so when I come do you pay the finance off and give ME the 3k or does the finance send the 3k to me OMG Me "whats the point of me buying the car at what you bought for ? Him " its what you do isnt it , sell cars Had to explain the meaning of PROFIT Half hour later I get another call " hello its Olly , Hello Olly how can I help ? Need to sell my car I bought last Oct cos I'm working in London from next week , When can I bring it back ? me , How much you looking for then , er £3,995 cos that's what i paid you Oh and to top it off , some pratt brought her car back for her headlight to be replaced on warranty , BUT WE didn't sell the car to you did we , No she goes but the other place is shut , ME !!! that's because they are in Spain for two weeks So your not going to do it then she says , NO, unless you pay us , I'll leave it then and storms out Must be mad peoples day out today , so after explaining the meaning of profit AGAIN twice and refusing warranty on someone else's car I'm going home , its windy raining and I'm hungry Always tomorrow
  20. I think Akhtar has left the building . Probably doesn't believe us . Honesty is a hard pill to swallow
  21. First rule of business Akhtar is this . If its not working for you ITS YOUR FAULT , Got it, ITS YOUR FAULT . You are doing the job WRONG , Its no one else to blame . I would outbid you at every turn , I will make you Puff & blow and call me a pillock at the block , , But its because I know my mkt and KNOW I'm going to make a handsome profit . Years of self critique have learned me lessons I don't forget . I also do NOT work for peanuts either . I also sell 20/30 units a month , Money in the metal and bolt ons too Aurfur Daly has said we are pro's at what we do and he's right , You have to learn the trade and an auction catalogue is NOT where its at either , I don't need a catalogue . You have to ;learn how to bid , when to bid , when to stop , when to go higher , what sells , what doesnt , how quick they turn and how slow , Know the stocks faults and how to fix it , How to sell , how to present yourself , What to say to a customer , Know EVERY THING about the car your selling , How to prep it , where to sell from and were not to sell from. Some people are born sellers , other are not .and this makes a huge difference , Come here and you would leave with the car ,that i would promise you . Some cant sell , some cave into letting the customer control , Some cant prep , others its natural , Lots to learn in this job Akhtar , its not BCA Gold card + Catalogue + Wave arm in air + get car and sell it . YOU Have to work at EVERY part of this job and it has to run in your blood veins . Good luck by the way , All the very best .
