Anyone advertising on hey car? seen it a lot on google ads....

Lol! Yeah engine fell out in on the summer of 2011! that info is from auto trader

Ok I’m confused with this too. Just bought this Audi TT for £4900 plus fees and delivery from BCA. https://www.villagecarsessex.co.uk/single-car.php?ID=13987 Everything was going way over book. This capped at £5300. Grade 4 no condition report. No mechanical report. Just said engine smoking / rough running on the screen. this car in my eyes is mechanically perfect, the bodywork is grade 1/2 - it drives like a dream, it has 11 stamps..... yes 11..... and only 2 owners. bridgestone tyres all round with 5mm tread on all of them and been meticulously looked after. thank you very much, Best Buy of the the day by miles.

Bullet proof engines to be fair.

Has anyone got that feeling that they are reading from a script when you start shouting at them?

So found out today after a heated arguement regarding price markers that all their trade and retail prices are worked out by dealer auction and Aston Barclay lol. I asked them why they are Not using BCA prices And they couldn’t answer me. i also asked them if anyone had been to an auction recently from auto trader and by going on their prices we will be running on £200 per car after prep lol so basically they are basing their pricing from 2 of the worst places ever.... absolute clowns

We have just gone from spending £450 on the lowest package, and upped it to £1300 on the sponsored listing packages. We sold 9 from gurus in jan from 38 in stock.

I try to not sell anything higher than fair. Which is yellow. I have sold a couple on high price but they are normally with really stunning alloys or white in colour as white seems To command much more money in Essex. Especially in Audi TTs or a nice c class. It can’t drive prices down if cap prices are expensive! You’ll be selling stuff for what you pay for it otherwise. Auto trader prices are about £700 too cheap at the minute. Rediculous Price gap between cap and auto trader

What’s your postcode? I will see if I can find the issue lol

I have put quite a lot of warranties through handler, but we have come away from them now. Useless company. We have had payouts however but they are shite

i sell a fair few c classes. i have sold a few c200's with no probs. even manual ones have sold well. as long as they look decent and are not basic they sell well.

i bought 5 from blackbushe on monday, decent but bought a coupe that needed paint, but i like those ones.

I bought 5 yesterday, but it was still amazingly expensive. Not sure what these people are selling these cars for. But they can’t be making much money.

Bedford BCA is decent. Less crowded and nice people

i would of loved to have seen their faces when the timing chain didn’t fix it lmao....

Never again. The prices were simply eye watering... was anyone else there? There was literally not a penny left in some of these cars.

We are on 19 for the month. Done 9 in the last 7 days. Not expecting much more now

Just ask them to put a new gearbox mount in before you do anything

Stand your ground. They have only been in London twice In 5 months but beware you will lose in court.

I absolutely guarantee it’s a mount. And I’m almost certain it’s the gearbox mount. Costs about £70 to fix. I’ve had this loadS of times and it’s 99% always the gearbox mount The gearbox mount looks fine but you can’t check it until it’s off and normally there is a tiny split on the inner rubber part of it. It’s extremely common.

Emails are no good from car gurus. We rarely convert unless they call us. When they call us it’s generally a decent lead.

We don’t do it anymore. If they reject the car you are in trouble.

Auto trader, use the moving link

There is a huge issue with dragon 2000 if you are planning sending stock to auto trader. when you add a car to autotrader it adds all the standard spec. If you add via dragon it wipes it all off every time a new feed is sent. I have had lots of arguements about it. It’s a brilliant system if you are using it to integrate into sage accounts also

I know how it works, I ran a web marketing company for 10 years, however those adverts are still being paid for by car gurus. Also seeing a lot of tv advert as well. they are working well for us anyway.....
