    Ive been advised to get a gopro camera with a hand grip to eliminate video shake and better video quality compared to mobile... just want to see what other people are doing?

    Jimbo - I know it's not something one should advertise but I specialise in that "junky" stuff and it does really well.

    I buy a lot of our stock from other traders like yourself who either aren't interested due to the small margins / potential problems or it would look completely out of place on their pitch.

    We're based in St Helens.. so if you're somewhat close by drop me a message with what you have at the moment.

    pm me your no i'm only local to you in Ashton.

    2.5 - 3 months. In my opinion if it’s not gone by then then no one wants it so I cut the balls off the price & blow it out of the door to the first greedy parasite who rocks up :lol:

    As an aside them Aurises are pitch cars - absolutely no good for the internet. I’ve had 2, both low miles for age, both top spec, both FSH, a petrol that I put 4 new tyres & a clutch in and a scruffy (but f***ing cheap) diesel. The petrol only sold “accidentally” to a man who came to see a Berlingo but took a fancy to the colour (I don’t think I’d even taken a phone call on it) and the diesel just attracted stupid offers from the usual undesirable section of society who want everything for nowt. EVENTUALLY a nice fella turned up but I certainly won’t be searching for Aurises anytime soon.

    We recently had An Auris in stock for 190 days 2008 1.4 petrol 5 door 70k in red only had 2 calls on it eventually sold it to a walk on with finance :lol:.

    Hyundai i30 are the same only sell over the net if they dirt cheap...

    Hi

    Happy New Year all ....

    I'm looking at adding videos to our adverts and I know some on here have mastered the art so wanted to ask 

    1) what camera are you guys using? Ive tried with a my mobile but trying to keep a steady hand is an art in its self.

    2) What program do you use to edit the videos to have the music in the back ground?

    Sorry if this has already been asked before.

    Hi

    Took few part exchanges that are really just bangers 53 Passat, smells like horses have lived in it, not a panel without a scratch, rust on arches etc, same with 52 plate focus but without horse smell. What is best way to sell these? Been thinking about e bay, but would have to be sold as seen and no warranty? Or is there another option?

    Thanks 

    Put them on Gumtree as Part Ex to clear they should sell within 48 hours.... at the right price mind.

    This week ive sold 3 pxs on gumtree all within 48 hours of being advertised..

    52 reg Corsa sxi 150k and obvious oil leak 6 days mot £220

    51 Focus 2.0 ghia saloon 3 days mot £175

    54 Avensis 2.0d 190k No Mot £340 (over 30 calls and lost count of best price bro messages)

    Trade sale invoice them make it clear its sold as seen no warranty and only for spares/repairs.

    I thought any provisionals had to be cleared by an hour after final bid and any purchases verified the same say - whatever that means - ....would be worth looking at the trading terms as there are some surprising ones in there. They tend to forget the ones that act in our favour though;)

    Saying that it was below book, they are good news and in the current market that makes it cheap, don't cut your nose off to spite your face...I would buy it and find a home for it.

    PS if it was Enfield they can be bloody hard work, Paddock Wood are very fair, Peterborough and Bedford likewise.

    Yes thats right. I did have a provesional bid on another vehicle which I bought and the Peugeot didn't even show as a provisional bid.

    It's a 2011 Peugeot 3008 eHdi Auto with 48k Grade 4, with esp light on hence why I'm abit reluctant to buy it now.

    Hi Chaps

    Bidding on a Peugeot 3008 yesterday in bca and thought it was mine at £4000 the chap on the rostrum even took my company name anyway when I went to pay for the cars purchased the Peugeot didn't show as purchased or provisional on my account. When I checked on my online account last night it still didn't show so I thought It wasn't sold to me as it capped £4200 below.

    So this afternoon Ive had calls from bca saying it was their mistake as they had invoiced it to another company with a similar name and that the hammer price was £4100... the problem I have is I'm fully stocked now and I don't really want the car.

    Can I reject the car or do I have to buy???

    Its not your website. Autotraders sites are not great either.

    Check your stock is being displayed correctly as sometimes glitches can happen with AT and moving stuff around, speak to your AT rep and get them out to go through performance with you. Don't listen to the upsell but some of what they say will be useful.

     

    You may just be quiet so hammer your social medial, throw some special offers, clear those sticking bits of stock and rewrite your adverts and make sure that you have good images. Get this last bonk holiday out of the way and then get ready for a busy September. 

     

    Best of luck.

    Cheers Rory

    It all went quite mid June at the same time our website changed over to AA cars hence why I was convinced it has something to do with the switch over.

    The AT rep has been in and tried up selling Icontrol. My performance has increased month on month since Feb but it dipped to an all time low in June and even lower in July. My forecourt turn around was at 75% which according to the AT Rep was good.

    Hi Chaps

    Newbie Here and I need some advice,...

    I've been trading for 18 months from a small forecourt selling average bread & butter stock(form about 2k to10k). Originally I was Sharing the forecourt with someone else and splitting the costs. As of Feb this year I bought the other person out and signed a new lease. 

    Currently stocking about 16 cars and all was going well, Turnover has increased every month and selling about 12 cars a month.

    As of June I decided to drop the autotrader website and Icontrol as (1) I wasn't getting support with the website (2) to reduce cost of Icontrol, and decided to go with AA cars who offer a free website and 12 months AA breakdown cover with every car. Now since the move my inquiries have dropped off, my advert views on AT are very low, in July I sold 5 cars and 2 so far this month.

    I know its a quite time but I'm convinced the move to AA cars has had a negative effect...

    Any Help or advice will be much appreciated.
