  1. £1000 per claim up to the limit of the value of the vehicle. £25 excess per claim.
  2. I sold a Cx-7 several months ago for £3995 and £525 per year tax. Could have sold it 3 times over.
  3. Must have looked like a scene from Harry Enfield’s “The Old Gits”
  4. 3M. Green then blue. All you’ll ever need. Shit load of fillers.
  5. Too much etc etc What features do you get for your £50? Logo on the advert? Extra number of photos? More than 20 I mean. Website link? Strap line?
  6. Two types of PAYG? So one from memory is about £58 for 3 weeks. What differences are there between the two?
  7. I’m not saying people don’t buy locally nor am I saying some dealers prefer to sell locally. I’m saying local targeting isn’t unique as AT allow buyers to search by proximity and I am told most people search up to 50 miles. You want to disrupt AT and good luck to you but one of your USPs isn’t U at all. If you want to knock AT off their perch or at least sit on the same perch as them you’ll need a shit load more than “its free” because from where i’m sat that’s the only thing you do differently. And many other platforms are free and none of them are remotely a threat to AT.
  8. “Targeting the local area” is not a USP. It’s a hinderance. The internet made the world smaller and AT can target both local and national buyers. People will travel for the right car. So suggesting you’re going to rival or attempt to rival AT by targeting locally is fantasy. “Free for dealers” never works imo. “Targeting the local area” is not a USP. It’s a hinderance.

  9. With respect, the packages are meant for dealers and the PAYG adverts meant for private sellers. I understand you want to keep your costs down (don’t we all) but if you want all of these features that we all pay the price for (website link, logo displayed, ability to post videos, statistics/feedback on number of advert views) then you’ll have to ante up i’m afraid!
  10. Actually it’s 6 years in certain circumstances. Best you read the CRA or at least the relevant parts.
  11. Watching that makes my bollocks tingle
  12. How would he claim the £3400 off the insurance as a write off when the OP would have the vehicle?
  13. If I could buy 3 door 2009-2011 black edition A3 2.0 TFSI’s Black I could sell 20 a month. They fly out and people travel from all over for them. I can see why a 3 door Audi SE with 16” alloys would be a tough sell though.
  14. You’ll have zero hassle. “Representative example” it’s how millions of pounds worth of personal loans are sold every week
  15. I think most people will see that as leggy for a petrol, wrongly in my eyes but i’m not buying it! Give it a go at £4995, plenty of photos with the back seats down showing the space etc and best of luck with it.
  16. My dad is 77 today. He uses Facebook and an I pad etc for his news and can use google. Up until a few years ago he was clueless about it all. And that a 77 year old man. Over fifties will be using the Internet for nearly everything.
  17. It's the sort of car that will have nine owners by it's 8th birthday.
  18. You're in the wrong game mate, you'd make a good accountant with a side line as a car detailer
  19. Then just start the months in the middle of each month on your records
  20. Correct, as long as you are not operating an organised DSR then delivering cars to punters is fine. If someone asks "could you deliver?" then I would answer yes, we can. But if you state "delivery available" on your adverts etc then I imagine you would struggle to refute a claim that you don't operate an organised DSR.
  21. Marked as sold as in, the advert? The text of the advert I mean?
  22. I was talking to the rep for my warranty company a day or two ago and he did a little straw poll at Christmas of around ten of his family - Who thinks Great, Good or Low was the best price. Must have been a slow Christmas but in any case, everyone came up with different answers. Now that doesn't account for the nation but it does go to show that a random group of people have no idea what is the lowest price marker, they probably don't really care either. If AT is telling them that its a "good price" then at a moments glance, that sub-consciously does enough to tip them in the direction that they aren't being legged over price wise. They will still chip, still dry their teeth, still say they have seen a cheaper one up the road etc.
