  1. To be fair Ford and Vauxhall were foreign back then but I get your point.
  2. "1,722,698 brand new cars made in British factories throughout 2016. " " In 2017, the country built 1.67 million of them. "
  3. You can of course put, for instance, 2 private owners. I do put on the back of the tag the mileage and car tax cost, although these are on the silent salesman it can be handy to have them there.
  4. Number of owners and Mot date on the key tag.
  5. Price boards and silent salesmen. The silent salesmen are more for me than the customers!
  6. I would give your local Audi dealer a call. If it was done at a VAG dealer they can tell you.
  7. Many years ago when we advertised in the local press T/S used to come round with a copy of your ad to check advertised prices and mileages. I had just put a car down in price but hadn't got round to changing the board. I was given words of "advice" on the matter. I would also point out that a pitch is not free. As I'm sure you can testify it's pointless trying to argue with these know all (done nothing) jobsworths.
  8. I notice the other one has “S-Line Black Edition” in the title. It has been in stock 166 days.
  9. Can only find 2 s-lines in white and both have higher miles. SV62UOP is your twin done 46025 @£13000 could use that reg and your pics and change the spec in your portal to S line?
  10. Even so it will still take Lucas 60 years to get where you are!
  11. I have retail check on demo so let me know the reg of yours and I might find it’s twin.
  12. Do you have any spare adverts within Autotraders offer? Find a similar vehicle online or from previous stock and “borrow “ the reg. See which gets the most hits.
  13. What is a Joe Swash? Some sort of car cleaning product?
  14. +1 ”I’ll let you know one way or the other” Is a phone killer
  15. “We have made £6k profit in the last 2 days” Dont worry. I’m sure things will pick up soon!
  16. Didn't Vauxhall fit something similar to the ZaFIREa?
  17. Has the customer taken possession of the car?
  18. I know we have spoken before about admin fees. In particular about adding a fee for Carfinance 24/7 customers, which I understood you can't do unless all your customers are paying the same. I saw this on Car Giants website. Is it clever or illegal? To ensure we can offer all our customers the best value we have tailored our administration fee to our customer's individual circumstances. This fee is a compulsory fee and applies to all our cars depending on your below circumstances: Retail customer Admin Fee £199 Returning retail customer purchasing within a 12 month period Admin Fee £0 Returning retail customer purchasing in between 13- 24 month period Admin Fee £99 Export Customer Admin Fee £199 Retail Customer using a finance broker outside our official panel of lenders Fee £399 Motoring Trade Customers Admin Fee £699. Visit Cargiant's T&Cs for further information. Your statutory rights are not affected. I notice Big Motoring World, who used to do a similar thing, have dropped their admin fees.
  19. So you can hit the ground runing have you spoken to any Finance companies yet?
  20. They will offer them 1/2 price for a few weeks.
  21. First rule of Bangernomics. Never say how good it is!!! Fuel filter would be my first port of call. But until you can get a proper code reader you will just be playing parts darts.
