    Hey James, have you heard from Mr Glasses? 

    They haven't spoken to us since 2018

    Interesting video, I like Mike he seems to get a lot of flack but he seems a decent genuine chap to me. 

    He is a great guy. I get very annoyed by people who give him grief. He's the most genuine and lovely person you'll ever meet

    The used car market is facing a volatile first few weeks post-lockdown with prices likely to take a dip, says CAP HPI’s head of valuations.

    In an exclusive interview with Car Dealer Magazine, Derren Martin revealed CAP HPI had not moved values for six weeks, but will begin to start adjusting them next week. Read the full story here:

    Well worth the £50 its a good publication whether online or the older physical.  Same as Mark I thought it was worth paying for it just for the forum.

    The awards is a great night aswell and fingers crossed it goes ahead, after all this shit will be very much welcome. 

     

    Cheers James for the regular updates and news throughout. I thought you were a decent bloke before but feel you have really assisted and gone above and beyond or the motor trade as a whole throughout this and its been fantastic to see. 

    Thank you. I think the awards will probably be delayed but will definitely go ahead as soon as they are allowed

    I've battled with them, and battled again. But they're sticking to their guns - painful really, but there are some businesses out there screwing over small firms like mine. This is one of them.

    I'll never use them again, and I'll tell everyone who'll listen never use them again.

    Thanks for the subscription call - it would help us hugely. We're not printing the mag right now but we are producing a digital copy and publishing so much stuff on the website every day. 

    A helping hand is appreciated, but I don't expect it. Thanks for your kind words.

    Our revenue is bolstered by our events - CDX and the Used Car Awards - both of which have been put on hold. Our advertising revenue is down 90 per cent as suppliers shut up shop during this time. It's incredibly tough for us. The magazine is paid for by the advertising, we have very few paid for subscriptions - they're here if anyone else wants to support us by the way, CarDealerClub.com - but we are trying all we can do to keep things going online. The forum is free, click on a few of the Google Ads for us as that will help a little, but we're fighting for our survival just as many others are.

    That's the honest picture, but there's no point masking it. We may look busy and successful, but publishers firms like mine are hit severely when there's a downturn as advertising is usually the first thing to get cut.

    Thanks for the note and for subscribing - you won''t believe how much difference the £50 makes to us right now.
