  1. Only sold 1 this month which is a decent deal but....... It is absolutely dead here. no phone calls. very few walk ons. I can understand being quiet on forecourt, but the phone isnt even ringing. i have literally just rung it to see if it is working.
  2. Ive got some absolutely lovely stock in at the minute and can’t sell a bean.
  3. Harry rednapps dog owned my old Ferrari....
  4. To be honest it’s been a bad few weeks for us. Absolutely dead. Only done 8 this month which is a real shocker.
  5. It does actually drive perfect lol I’m sure it will sell before Xmas
  6. My mum and dad love silver Yes it is in that sort of twilight zone with pricing. But it doesn’t matter what sort of car you put on this forum for advice. Someone has a problem with it somewhere lol
  7. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201808119391759?advert-type=dealer-stock&dpp=10012523 Not really what I get involved in but it’s got loads of money in it and it’s immaculate. havent even had a sniff on it in 4 weeks. It’s priced low on auto trader..... on a busy main road but only a coupl of people ha e had a brief look round it
  8. 1 key mentioned on advert, 2 keys mentioned on advert customers know what they are getting from the spec sheet. i would be surprised if you would lose a deal over this. besides... how do so many people lose keys lol - almost every car i get from the auction has 1.....
  9. you didnt qualify them properly and wasted your own time. there was no point doing a test drive etc etc if its way outside their budget. weve all done it but you should really of qualified them properly first.
  10. Thanks mate, office is coming along nicely now all boarded out. Need to ply line the roof tomorrow and put some insulation in then can finally get the skirting board down and possibly start painting!
  11. Cheers, I was going to use them but was unhelpful before I had my Fca license I guess I have no choice now
  12. Evening gents - getting asked if I do finance on cars that are older than what our current supplier is willing to lend on. for example I have a a3 black edition 2009 with 120k miles on it at £5495 - my current lender won’t touch it as it’s over 8 years old and over 100k Miles. any ideas who I can get signed up with?
  13. It’s been really tough, we don’t have the forecourt until 1st September however we have the showroom which fits 4 cars and a desk. We can’t use the office yet as the roof started collapsing from rain damage so the carpenter has been in and it’s now sealed finally. So we will start the sales office refurbishment Monday - so much todo - we now only have 3 cars in stock as literally sold everything. When we get the cars on the forecourt as well as the showroom it’s going to be a gold mine hopefully. The site has 65 years of history on an incredibly busy well know Road and the previous company has a great reputation. ill send pictures when all done but it’s a dog hole at present Ive hopefully landed on my feet here for once
  14. Only 5 last month, although our stock profile was awful. This month - 6 in 2 days. 3 Friday, 3 Thursday. Lessons learned from panic buying that’s for sure.
  15. i know nothing about the price of these trucks etc, just doing some research now. however..... Mitsubishi L200 2.5 DI-D CR Barbarian LB Double Pickup 4WD 4dr mileage 119k full history and looks decent for age. thoughts on part ex price? also anyone who wants to bid me on it feel free. sorry its 2010 private plate
  16. You can get your finance through on ZUTO but you do not get any commission
  17. We have VW Audi Tech in Chelmsford and they are ridiculously busy. Nothing to do with VW however
  18. It’s taken me 9 months to find the ideal place, everything I found was either too small or no motor trade, luckily I have landed on my feet with my new pitch but 9 months! Night mare
  19. I seem to do well on a nice 1 series, and being white as well is all good
  20. Yes both private - although bmw photography really good. The mini photo was from the dealer before he bought it, the rest of mini photos on his drive way.
  21. A bit of Sunday night shopping tonight. Just won these gems on eBay. Bmw 118i 2011 50k Miles - paid £6600 will sell for £7995 Mini Cooper 2011 42k Miles pair £4600 will sell £5995 ebay turning up some right gems this week
  22. Not new but stating facts when buying stock, auto trader / cap / totally off the mark with white cars. But I’m assuming a white mondeo lx will be minus £500
  23. Maybe different for other areas of the country but if you have a white 1 series or white Audi TT or a3 / A4 they seem to be fetching much more money?
  24. 3 this month with absolute shite margins but all cars sold were all major problem cars. so good news. moving to our new site 1st of august so not buying any stock.
  25. put it up for £200 on facebook as its a shitter but drives ok and has 4 months mot on it, and so far been asked by different people within 10 minutes would you take £100. when was oil and filter changed? does it have full service. when was clutch last changed. are all the tyres new. will you put 12 months mot on it for me. what do these people want for £200???? haha
