L-P

Yes absolutely.

Providing the car is in trade then I would presume yes. Just remove the 1st number from the ref on the green slip. Never tried it this way before though

Hi Mark, I always charge VAT when I sell an extended warranty. Cheers Simon

Pretty certain you can do online. You just need to put a number in front of the doc ref on the front. Cant remember if any number will do but it can only be between 1 and 9

www.mfldirect.co.uk You will need an account with them to buy. Be careful as a lot of the cars are expensive but you can buy significantly below book if you are patient. Also, condition of the cars can be an issue, but you can claim for damage (Not smart repairs or Alloy Refurbs) and you can reject the purchase if they do not accept an agreeable (to you) claim value.

Autorola also have a few.

That's strange. It works as it always did for me ?

Mark, you need to click on "Quick Edit" which is on the main stock page at the top left. This then gives you the screen where you can quickly tick or untick as appropriate.

Off the back of a good Dec & Jan its all gone quiet over here. 2 done and a couple traded. Off on holiday for a week on Sunday so need a good week

Mini Cooper Auto I have had the pleasure of looking at since 16 September. Not one call, not one viewing. Congrats on shifting the TT

£13.7m profit in the latest accounts... Not a bad model I guess.

Hi Umesh I sell most of my cars from AT. I would say 2nd place is CarGurus. We more than cover its cost every month. We pick up the odd 1 or 2 from Find and Fund but that's free so fair enough. Carsnip is the one for me that I cant seem to quantify. I think I will be switching it off after this month to be fair. Not on any of the others so cannot comment.

I saw it on the Car dealers group on Facebook EPV

I would agree that in the vast majority of cases, they are indeed fucked!!

The thing is, we all take in good part exchanges that maybe don't fit the stock profile for whatever reason, and you just want your money back so that you can reinvest in what works for you. However, we are all suspicious as to why a trader wants to block a car or trade it on, so we pass up on it thinking we will be into it for buckets when in reality there is not much wrong with it. I am sure I have turned down many a profit opportunity because of this

Up to 8 for the month now, and I am fairly happy with that. Have bought 7 this week at good money. Just got to get them all through prep now. (Just as everyone shuts down for Xmas )

Could this be an epic 10 pager.... Half way there

Agree ECJ. You can learn the trade without risking huge amounts of capital. I spent 10+ years in the franchised dealer groups and I learned there how easy it is to lose your shirt if you get it wrong.

Blimey, OK What you need to do is liquidate those cars at the right market value ASAP. They will not get any better. Don't make the mistake of holding out for higher prices because they owe you so much. You need that money back to invest into profitable stock. You also need to think about your purchasing strategy. I would stop buying altogether until you are confident that you are buying at the right prices. Do not throw good money after bad.

That's all well and good Lucas. The tipping point for a Great Price label on AT for that car/mileage is £11,074. Did you know that when you bought it, because that's a big difference from £13,500 ? Its a cliché but you make your money when you buy, not when you sell in this game. Good luck

Hi Lucas, How did you price the car ? Is £13,500 the price you are going to advertise it for ? Is 95k the correct mileage, because if it is that looks well over the market price to me ? Certainly not looking to kill your enthusiasm, but the pricing is key to a quick turnover. That doesn't mean you have to be the cheapest BTW, but you do need to make sure that customers looking for that type of vehicle/mileage find your car in a search. Best of luck

Not off the mark here yet. Although we did get a phone enquiry today, so at least I know its still working
