  1. Agree with the above, the photos are not the best but all round looks like a good website and very modern. Either take the photos outside or, change the lighting. It looks yellow, doesn’t help the cars at all. Brighter, white lighting I think.
  2. You mean an automatic feed? Highly unlikely. You’ll need car dealer manager or click dealer for that.

    Stock

    Bought two today, one for cap clean the other cap average. Assuming they won’t need much other than standard prep I can’t not make a decent profit. There’s bargains about....

    Stock

    Yet there are at least two forumites off here that have recently said that buying has been a lot easier lately. YMMV!
  5. Not really. Black on Silver for example is very popular. Gunmetal grey on silver looked washed out.
  6. That the same one you posted a link to in here? Red seats?
  7. Ferric Grey. Do NOT change them to black. Oh and add £500 to the price of it. Black with cream leather on a three series is like curry to a pissed brummie. Absolute cat nip.

    A Bad Day

    As I told you last week mate, ebb and flow. Now you’re on the right AT package you can’t not sell cars!
  9. Look at it a different way. From day one in this job, I’ve always seen an opportunity to do the job right and show up every other dealer out there. Present company excluded of course.

    Is it a phone call to everyone you know to proclaim “i’m considerably, richer than yaou”

    Plenty of cars. How many of them sold? Oh wait not they’re for sale, not sold. For all you know 3,500 of them could have been on sale for 60 days. I’ll repeat this again and then wish you luck as you seem hell bent on doing this; You will not turn half your forecourt in a week. All the best.
  12. Sorry yes, you did say that!
  13. No plans, play it by ear. Adverts will remain live and if someone is keen to buy i’ll show them the car, if they’re “looking at cars” i’ll let them carry on looking.
  14. Dodged a bullet there but over serviced at 62k and 7 years old? Looks spot on servicing to me!
  15. Usually wearing tracksuits. Look like they may have descended from Asian origin.

    A Bad Day

    Christ mate, what a day. As you know, I’m no stranger to a run of bad luck, you just have to keep ploughing through it, whatever needs to be spent, spend it, and get through the other side of the bad run. Cars are c**ts.

    Have I read that right? You want to fill up a plot of land with 60 bangers and sell 30 a week? You would struggle to sell 30 old shitters a month never mind a week. Yes there’s a market for shitters, a much bigger market than there is for Ferrari 458 Specialie’s but you’re insane if you think you can shift 30 bangers a week from a stock of 60, make a couple of hundred quid per unit and pay for all the outgoings. repairs (there will be a lot) and inevitable court cases you will end up with, shifting such volumes of shit heaps. Apologies if I have read that wrong but if I haven’t, it’s a terrible idea. Think about it. Who is going to come and buy 120 bangers a month from you? You think someone is going to travel more than an hour to buy a shitheap?

    And what’s it like doing seats and carpets? The videos i’ve watched suggest it can do a very good job of even heavily soiled carpets?

    Do you still use your Tornador mate? I’m still mulling over getting one to do the whole interior of a car.

    Probably the best bit of advice you will ever get, and it’s only day one! £1-3k cars are ok when they are swappers that you’ve driven and nicked from the punter. Trying to buy a £750 car at auction, any auction is mostly a disaster waiting to happen. Set your minimum purchase price at £1500.
