2050? Run for your lives!

Nice to hear, I have one coming in soon

Well, it's been a week or two since we had this discussion...

Really. I’ve sold plenty of diesels and had my record month last but one. June has started well.

These threads do make me smile ”wait until the kids are off school” ”it’s quiet cos the kids are at school” ”the World Cup is on” ”it’s Easter that’s caused it” ”Brexit” ”no ones buying diesel cars” ”everyone’s on holiday” ”it’s raining” ”it’s too hot” ”it’s Christmas” If you believed everything written on this forum you’d think there about 3 cars sold each month across Britain.

Push it in a swamp

Jesus. Fuck being stuck in a lift with you. I’m off to find a dark room and open a vein.

No I didn't mate, thats why I was asking. If the car is in the trade it's simple enough, if it's not then I suppose its quite complicated. I guess before bidding, you check if the car is taxed, if it's not, chances are, it's in the trade. No guarantee but a good chance.

Cool, what if it can't?

Yep, i’m aware of the clawback risk. Nothing that can be done. The comms are nice but I haven’t exactly retired to the Bahamas on it. If it gets clawed back, ce la vie. Nobody will starve. They probably rely on people thinking that’s APR!

Furry muff. So what’s the answer to the OPs problem do you think?

Probably but i’m assuming the OP is talking about buying a car from an auction, probably a bold assumption!

I wasn’t. It wasn’t. I was just pointing out Close Bros downside. They cap me at 6%, the OP at 5.5%. You’re either a yes or a no with Close. Blue have tiers and offer accordingly. It’s a much better system than Close. I admit my earlier post looked “braggy” but that wasn’t the point I was trying to make. I prop and the lender offer. I don’t bump up rates.

There may be a quicker or better way than what I am about to suggest but if it were me, i’d download a v62 form and keep it with the docs for the car. When the car is sold, fill in the v62 in the new owners details and take them to the post office to tax the vehicle and also submit the v62, the post office will send it off to the dvla. The new owner will have a taxed car and a new v5 in the post when the dvla action it. You could offer to pay 6 months tax at the PO when you take the customer there, to grease the wheels. It’s what I have done in the past.

This. Also you can sell Blue out much higher. I sold a 12500 advance out at 8.99 the other day.

As per the other thread. People do NOT want to hear “oh you’re covered by the CRA” because they don’t trust you and they’re not about to start thumbing through the CRA in your office. They want a shiny brochure, an arm round the shoulder, a warm fuzzy feeling that they have bought a nice car and not a pup. Some people don’t care and don’t even ask for a warranty. If you’re losing sales because of it, you need to provide them with that warm fuzzy feeling. Or, not care if you lose the occasional sale.

Copy and paste lol

Correct.

I used to do third party, now do self. I wouldn't ever go back. Third party are useful for certain circumstances, rare occasions and it doesn't take an expert to work out what I mean.

What's the point in offering different warranties for different cars, unless it's a starship mileage £2k car that you give a month on just so people feel some sort of comeback. Do a 3 month/3000 mile proper warranty, funded yourself and give people a warm fuzzy feeling. No point in telling people they are covered by the CRA, they don't want to hear it, they just want to know they have some sort of comeback. Get some sort of pamphlet, Lawgistics or whatever to hand out at the POS so people know it's just covering the big ticket items and not tyres and brakes and that will do you.

£18k maybe but I bet it was £60k when new. Up to you mate but i’d be making it look smart to the untrained eye and jogging on anyone who came round fussing over a neat and tidy but not “manufacturers spec” repair. Good luck with it.

Get a new Bodyshop i’d Say.
