  1. we would retail that at £12,995 and it would sell within days Jimnys gold dust up here in the lakes
  2. Yes suppose you are right. volume with them and £1 profit is better than none in their eyes.
  3. Not a trick as such, but word has got around about our local Arnold clark dealer being an easy touch for offloading part exchanges with issues. They never drive them or seem to start the car or check electrics, they just look at the bodywork and ask the mileage. and because they change salesmen so often it just keeps repeating. they must lose a lot in the auctions.
  4. Claiming a part exchange has a full service history but the handbook is at home..... but its deffo got it also it deffo has 2 keys. customer arrives for handover 1 key and no history to be found, we will be re revaluing your part ex now mr customer...... \ they hope we don't ask or they say its in the glovebox, right I will just nip out and get it.........
  5. Dead here also, brings out the nutters with every reason why they cant buy the car.
  6. I do agree with you about them sending the rep around to show you how da would like it done and to show you how to upload, but they certainly do not send staff out just to do pics and upload stuff having dealt with them for a long time this just doesn't happen no matter how big the dealership is.
  7. dealer auction doesn't send people out to photo and upload the stuff, lots of main garages just get the valeters to do it and that's what I would assume has happened here.
  8. Border cars had been in trouble for a few years, their old accountant fleeced them for a lot of money and as the owner also was doing some dodgy deals not much was done, border cars even were taking deposits upto the day they stopped so the man who owns it is a criminal, he has now set up a new company in his daughters name. sorry for the staff and losing their jobs but the man himself had it coming.
  9. tell them you have a nice part ex you want top money for..... but don't actually bring it so they can see it. dealers love that
  10. Leggings do not sell cars, balloons do we all know this
  11. not sure what ive done https://www.chapelhouse.co.uk/used-car-results.aspx
  12. Is this allowed ? just looking at Chapelhouse website and none of their cars actually have the price of the car just says £192 a month only !
  13. Just received this award from cargurus always nice. surprising though as we only have had 6 reviews this year so cant see how we were awarded it ? assume a lot of places also got this just to make us feel special lol
  14. its amazing how some customers are willing to be treated like dirt to get a cheap car, serves them right the greedy twats.
  15. Just did a live chat with them, under the name mr conn mann they answered I said just a bit of advice, if you are gonna fraud people maybe make your prices a bit more realistic you are just being too silly. was cut off immediately lol
  16. what did they trade it in against ?
  17. compensation ? why would you be given that ? and by who exactly.
  18. It also seems that being thick isn't a thing of shame anymore, I understand the text talk and brief enquiries as they don't really have the communication skills or are just too thick in trying to articulate their point. My education was also non existent, in fact I never even attended secondary school, but I am polite enough when making enquires into something I am interested in, I think its a lack of manners to just send a two word enquiry as we often receive also a lot of customers don't seem to have a decent attention span.
  19. We have sold quite a few through car gurus so there are real leads, also think there are fakes ones with silly names as well that never ever respond. so I think its a bit of both.
  20. I Have noticed they put they odd * fake car * in adverts that looks dirt cheap to get enquiries in. have had a few friends who have bought from them and they have said the prep on the cars is criminal and even some didn't get a valet on their car.
  21. Cant believe any adult would even believe this could be true utter morons.
  22. Door to door salesman selling doors I think. Never given it a thought to be fair, sold cars for 14 years only job I have had not sure if that's a good or a bad thing
  23. we sell quite a few unseen, but we never deliver to a customer who hasn't been on site and seen the car. Being in the lakes we have people who buy online not seen the car come and collect and make a weekend break of it.
