  1. Should have done a wheeler dealer video of the restoration, including selling it back to the last owner for £2000 more!!
  2. Just tell the plod if they don't want to be there don't issue any tickets. No tickets issued. Obviously no crime so no need for a plodmobile.. Simples!
  3. " I trade from home at the moment on a party time basis" Beats sitting around on a forecourt.
  4. 8 so far this month. 2 more appointments this week
  5. Had a regular in a couple of Saturdays ago. Brought his mother in to buy a Megane. Whilst he was here another guy was looking at an Insignia. The Insignia guy had a test drive etc and decides to go away and call me on Monday. My regular then says to me "Is he having that?" I explain he's gone away to think about it so he says "Well I have it then" Didn't even look in it. He'd had an Insignia off me last year and traded it in for an S-Max in March but preferred the Vauxhall. First guy rings up 20 minutes later and I have that lovely feeling of telling him it's sold. You snooze. You lose! Just this minute sold my regulars brother a Fiesta. In the last 12 months I have sold the family 2 Insignias, a Megane, a Fiesta, an S-max and an Astra. Of which I've just done the 1 test drive, Have taken back in the S-Max, the Astra and an Insignia. ££££££££
  6. Wonder who’ll pay for that?
  7. Glad you cleared up the Ipad offer. My rep was about to get a call. The last one I got was on the Christmas promotion!
  8. +1 for Close Blue Motor Finance are great too
  9. From my Clickdealer portal " AutoTrader are having intermittent issues sending emails from leads@autotrader.co.uk. They are aware and working to resolve this. Please make sure you check your AutoTrader portal to ensure you don’t miss any leads!"
  10. Pay cash in to your bank account at the post office. No charges
  11. Why do I even still have this?. If I remember correctly the difference between the Sport and Zetec was colour coded mirrors and a centre armrest.
  12. Best one from Vauxhall is “Enjoy” As if anybody would!
  13. I've got a forecourt. Cars are placed on website as they are bought. With the strapline of "In soon" Once they arrive I place some photos before the car is valeted. Photos are retaken once valeted. Had a guy come in Thursday for 13 plate Qashqai despite it clearly saying in soon and no photos. He is just so keen to have the car. Wants to give me a deposit without seeing it. So I agree with you Nick Get it advertised. Get it sold!
  14. Motors are about to put stock onto Facebook Market place
  15. "say it loud and clear as the customer won't even know what you're on about." And that's where you are going wrong. Make sure the customer knows what you're saying. He might get the message.
  16. If it's a Zetec then having the Appearance pack will sell it. If it's an early one Google the problems with the Ecoboost engine. That might make your decision easier!
  17. So a 996. A Boxter. And now a Cayman. That's a bit of an expensive habit you've got there buddy.
  18. Desperate to get rid of the 911 then.
  19. I use the 2nd pair on Grants link. Fiddly but do the job. But they won't work on cars, such as Peugeot 207,etc with low front number plates. Nor cars where the number plate is just above the bumper. Oh. Don't use them on Astra VXR'S. The exhaust is below the number plate. Burnt mine!! I also have a set of the rubber holders but find there is no way to attach them on these modern cars with under trays.
  20. I take £200 deposit on a card, the rest by bank transfer.
  21. You’ve been lucky! last one Hadex pump, central locking motor and rear wiper motor!
  22. Too busy sending out the letters saying they are going to do it to actually do the damm thing
