    Quite Month!!

    10 lock up garages, no forecourt. Over the top, to say the least. sorry that I have impacted your breakfast in this way! no, I don't write my ad's in this way. I find your response quite passive aggressive. hopfully your feeling better after your post, you sound like the sort of person that's generally quite negative and critical of other people? everything ok ?

    Hey Grant, thanks for your feedback. may I ask what price range you sell in, and weather or not those cars sold in Aug weather financed purchases ? im really concidering the FCA route to help me get deals done. i don't even have a website, that's not helping me sell cars. i see people have viewing my ad on autotrader, but that's not translating into calls, maybe me not having a traceable website is putting buyers off. I need to sort that out because I have so many great photos of wonderful cars I have sold. a reviews page might help me to, I like to do things the right way.

    Hi Mojo, well done. do you mind me asking what sort of price range the cars where and weather they where bought on finance or PCP contracts? Did you sell meny of those cars cash so to speak? most people finance these days no? Maybe that's why I only sell 1-2 on average a month from a float of ten cars ? Hi Tom hope your well. i think this has a strong bearing on why the market is very quite. new car sales is a key indecator of consumer speanding and that's very weak currently with new car dealers offering all sorts of incentives. second hand car sales will have a knock on effect. People are not spending and have adopted the wait and see approach. the same can said for the housing market, I think they both go hand in hand ( to a certain degree ) lets hope Everyone getting paid end of September and the schools well and truely being back may get things going. best wish Ben
  4. Hello everyone! hope your all well. I have been selling cars for 2 years now, I have 10 garages I rent from the local Councel and store the cars in there. i have found the last 6-8 weeks very quite, I don't want to keep dropping the price of my cars, as there cheap already and I thing it can be off putting when a car looks to cheap. is the market just very quite right now ? or, do I need to offer fianance ? My cars range from £4,000 - £6,000 I don t know weather I'm going to do that many more deals, I find the thing very inconsistent and I'm worried about investing anymore time and energy into selling cars. having my 2nd child has made me think weather there is money to be made anymore? Or maybe you need 60-70 cars to make the job worth while. the other question I had was weather or not people pay £1,000 more from a dealer or do you just sit on cars for weeks on end? someone told me to sell cheap and fast regardless of condition. the dealers I have seen around for years, sell spotless cars for top money. frustrating game car sales, but can be really enjoyable when things are going well, which is not a lot of the time for me right now! Thanks for any advise. Ben
