i have noticed car gurus are hitting google massivly.... every site i go on i see car gurus cars of interest. Its looking promising for the Gurus.

So over the last 6 months we have noticed that we are getting much more sales from car gurus. decemeber and jan car gurus are almost at 50/50 with auto trader now. has anyone else noticed a large increase in good quality leads from car gurus? I seem to be getting much younger people coming through car gurus. our last 4 sales have all been gurus also. Tide is turning?

I have very rarely ‘lost’ but bought a grade 5 white scirocco blind when 4 months ago for £3300 Because it’s was cheap’ from BCA it needed Body work & paint £600 - dual mass and clutch £575 - turbo actuator £150 - boost sensor £70 - satnav repairing £75 - mot & service £120 - air con re charge £50 - Finally ready last week and its up for £5495 but it was an absolute shocker of a purchase- I must of been blind drunk bidding on it. I may make £100 on it if I’m lucky after putting a warranty on it. 4 months of my life I will never get back Oh and bought 118d m sport coupe 3 months ago for £5000 12 plate 56k miles. Needed a new engine but will break even so hopefully get some finance on it

Fan motor over winding, new motor required disconnect the motors 1 by 1 until the clicking stops.

I thought he died... clearly not

Oh shut up Steven

Seo marketing, only reason it’s posted here. Getting a back link from google

Finished on 24 for the month.... Very very respectable

i have had a Merc stereo go wrong and have bought another Used one from eBay, However when you turn it on it brings up the anti theft screen. Has anyone successfully recoded a used one?

Well you deffo need finance for those types of cars. There are firms that will do the fca for you for around £300 wenhabe just signed up with auto guard and seem decent so far for warranties.

Hi jbs - things to consider - getting FCA approved to offer finance. What price, mileage and age will you be selling? - warranty company - advertising autotrader, Facebook, eBay and car gurus - website

Cars with no reserve work on volume. They buy from Bca, deliver it straight to their yard, bang it on eBay and sell it for what they can sell it for. Just go down the BCA auction and buy it yourself.

Ok so I i have purchased today a 60 plate c220cdi sport auto 4 door in white, white being the important factor here. I paid £3800 including fees and delivery. The cheapest one I can find with similar age and mileage is £5595 which is private, then they start at £6200 ish for dealers. EVERY Single car in white is priced HIGH.. How can this be? I want to sell mine way below the others at £5795 but it’s still going to be priced high. average market retail is £4700 ish! What a load of nonsense. Autotrader are having a nightmare with these price markers.

We have had this recently but in the footwell of a 2007 a4. It’s gone now. Strange.

Up to 20 now. Happy days

Well we have surprisingly done 18 so far this month..... way way way over our anticipated numbers. 6 done this weekend.... how’s everyone else going? Unfortunately I didn’t book that break but happy with the additional £’s that I didn’t expect!

Get the contact details of the delivery firms and go direct with them, now I get them even cheaper

We sell tonnes of finance on cars 6-12 years old all German, and sports models, Sline m sport etc. Up to 120k miles. basically flash for not a lot of cash and to people that can’t really afford it.

Close will

There appears to be a way of putting the car into trade without a log book but unfortunately I don’t have the jiggery pokery to do it

Car needs to be in trade or you can’t do that at the post office. I have a guy who works in a post office who can do it some how but I’m sure it’s a bit dodgy. Any way I give him a drink for each one.

Whats everyones expectations for december. We have done 5-6 for the first few days of December but someone turned the tap off since the 4th and we have had no phone calls and only 2 emails with 50 cars in stock and all on auto trader in the last 3 days. Im feeling a city break away for a few days just in case its dead. i have a couple of business partners so no real pressure to be here as everything is prepped / close to it. There is no way im sitting around for the next 14 days with naff all happening.

I tried to get rid of her but she puts some Ann summers on and I’m straight back.

If you are could you look at a car for me as it’s my birthday and the mrs said I’m not allowed to go

I made this decision once, I soon went back and doubled my advertising lol.
