Just had an interesting interaction with a customer. Gentleman walks in and says I am interested in the Jimny you have out on the front..... Oh yes mr customer the 2016 model at £11,175.... Customer then proceeds to say er no !! its actually priced in the window at £1117 so I am willing to pay that amount.... I say yes very good very funny nice try. shall I get the keys and you can have a look at it. No he says !! im being serious you have to sell this car to me at that price its the law you advertise it and im going to buy it otherwise its conning people !! I grab the keys walk him to the car. ( Even has the finance example in the window of £11,175 ) and the 5 is on the floor..... you see mr customer its just where the number has fallen down, of course the vehicle would never be this price. are you actually interested or not ? He then threatens to take us to court for all sorts takes pictures as evidence.. all the while me and the manager are stood in bemusement and cant work out if this is a prank or not. I mean it certainly gave me a chuckle to get through a Monday but I have never experienced anything like this before.

They are legit it seems.

First I have heard of it as well, quite worrying if that's going to be common

I always one problem with these stories, a customer always undersells the damage on their vehicle. we have had a few people wanting to vt their car and have asked if they can come in and us have a look at what we think the condition is like. they seem to think knackered alloys big scratches and scuffs are ( not damage )

Can be done, pretty easy to piss away vehicles for no profit. Vauxhall dealer across from us sell used cars sometimes with £50 profit it in hoping for add ons, just need to ask the question why bother

We took one in a few months ago made a few hundred trading it, Also took a pug cc in same thing small profit. can never tell

Fancy another one Just agreed a deal to take in an 07 plate, 73k full history roof works and best still its in jewish racing gold.... open to offers lol

Alfa Romeo SPIDER. Just like the Real Thing, Horrible, Black and Ugly. £SOLD. Offers!!!!! HAHA ^ love it from their website.

Its just a lack of respect and ignorance, Had one yesterday appointment booked for 2.00 on Tiguan........ by 3.30 they are a no show. about this time lovely couple walk on the pitch and 20 mins later buy the Tiguan, come 5:10 my original appointment walks in and I give him the news its sold. He asks why didn't I ring him to before I sold it to tell him someone else was on it...... Well sir most likely the same reason you didn't ring me to say you were either busy.... or most likely you couldn't be bothered.

wish I could write this about some of the retail stuff I have in right now haha

what they would like for it and what they think its actually worth can be a funny conversation, Although I personally don't ask them want they expect for it anymore just from my experiences it never works in my favour.

Learn more I've have never had any experience with this dealership and I don't think I ever would I've been watching a golf sportsline on there website for a week I thought that's a good price I will look at the weekend I went on there website Saturday morning the price of the car had gone up I thought I will give this a miss it mite have gone up again buy the time I got there I thought cars went down with age not up He posted this as well about another garage................ Yes mate they put the price up so d**kheads like you don't come through the door

Agree with Linctrader, Take time doing the pics getting the right angle and making sure they are all uniform same position and highlighting any extras, Just using an iphone here but pics come out great

Had a lovely experience Recently, gentleman enquiring about a car we have in, starts politely asking for discount when we say its priced the cheapest within 90 miles for its age and mileage and we are not prepared to discount that car.... the verbal abuse starts....... and continues for about 10 minutes........ the line that tipped him over the edge I think was when he shouted at me WHAT KIND OF A BUSINESS DOESNT KNOCK £500 OF A CAR !!, I said a successful one now f**k off we are not prepared to sell you car at any price now leave. any others had some lovely experiences like this recently

Just had a fun conversation with a customer, He emailed on Friday to say he was keen to look at 2 vehicles on Sunday, sent him an email response asking if he wanted to put a holding deposit on them until the sunday, also left him a voicemail.... no response low and behold we sell both cars on the Saturday.. 11.00 this morning he comes bounding in shouting at me as they both have sold signs in them... well mr customer I did try to contact you on the phone and email you didn't reply.... his response why should I put a deposit down on any vehicle !!! because if you don't someone else will... quite enjoyed watching him sulk his way out the front door.

Yes indeed, Can just imagine the conversation now...... but but he had a hi vis jacket on he must be in the trade and and.... I will show myself out...

If they are stupid enough to hand the keys over to a random man in a hi vis jacket without asking for id or some documentation then not sure how they can claim theft.

Used it quite a while ago, Personally don't think its worth the extra money. Spend an extra 5 mins and do a manual search same outcome

Replying to an earlier post Yes I do work at a main dealer. Seems the majority here don't, its nice to see other views and how you guys do stuff keep up the good work all.

Yes must admit when I first started the job I would have done the same spent time with these gimps. Seeing as I am on the only one in today wasn't in the mood for a timewaster

10 Mins into working on a bank holiday and one of my least favourite customer types already.... I have a friend who is looking for.... vague description of budget or type of car..... No problem if you would like to leave me his details I would be happy to contact him and see what we can offer...... response no I want to drive 3 cars and I will let him know what I think about them and he may came back to you. Er no thank you, please feel free bring this ' friend ' in and we can sit down and find a suitable vehicle. Needless to say this gentleman got annoyed I wouldn't let him drive my cars and said well my friend will take his business elsewhere haha Anyone have similar experiences.

Similar to us then Jon, we have tried facebook and local groups never seen an enquiry, Pics are great advert has all info and priced very well just cannot drum up interest. Any tips would be appreciated.

thank you sparky I will have a look through them
