Just got rid of my longest standing car so far, it was a Mondeo Estate Titanium X 2008 with only 70k on the clock, had it for 85 days, glad to see the back of it!

Vikki asked me for some feedback on it as they're looking for things they can change if they're not working well!

Thanks! Have just sent a PM

Morning all, Is anyone else getting really crap customer services from Autotrader recently? I've had to call them everyday this week with technical problems and people not getting back to me via email or phone. It's just basic stuff like changing a phone number (had to call twice to get it changed over 2 days), address changes taking over a week, the "new business manager" not replying to emails etc. I've never spoken to my account manager, even after requesting he calls me when he wasn't busy on another call (this was back in early Jan) Called up today to make a complaint after the new trade portal has hidden things like retail checker and naturally my account manager wasn't available, spoke to a lovely lady called Vikki, she helped me find everything on the new portal, but she cant do much in the way of sorting complaints because shes not my account manager. Is it just my bad luck or are they always like this?

https://www.glitterretribution.co.uk/spring-loaded-glitter-canon Sounds like the sort of guy who would love glitter everywhere, shame you can't order these full of dog shit instead! Very sorry to hear about your Father.

This is appalling, it's getting worse and worse every year. The scum really don't care how it affects anyone else, rotten selfish bastards. My condolences to you and his family.

Just a daft one, is it getting up to temp okay? A friend had it on his personal car a while ago, turned out the thermostat was stuck open and the regen cycle wouldn't kick in because of it.

I agree, haven't been tempted to go to any auction recently because the selection is crap

I struggle going up a step ladder!

fingers crossed!

Yeah I realised that, should have gotten diesels! Although I thought the Audi would be in the "hot hatch" market being a turbo petrol?

Thankyou buddy!

2 in the first week with viewing booked in over the weekend. Got some stock at good prices so hopefully they'll make up for this month!

Bloody hate being called duck! Mostly for common folk round here Sure thing, just let me know when!

I was lucky enough to be born in the most neutral accent area in England! The east Midlands! If you do want me to have a look Mark, drop me a pm and I'll see what I can do!

My first video will be "how not to talk to a car dealer" I'm sure it'll be over 30 mins long! Thanks for the encouragement on the video side of things, might have a sit down and a drink and see if I can make it a viable side line

thankyou Mark, never even considered it!

speaking from experience there! Thankyou! I think what I'm going to start doing is some tour videos for more standard cars (Mondeos, golfs etc) as they attract the sort of buyer that will appriciate that! I'll save the current style of advert for more uniqe cars like M sports, S lines etc Thankyou BHM! See above response ^ Exactly my thinking, yes the Audi is 13 years old and isn't perfect, if the video clearly states that might be doing myself out of a viewing. Obviously the in person sales pitch would be VERY clear about the car to promote confidence and clarity.

Noted and adjusted thankyou! It does surprise me that the biggest car selling website doesn't allow a bit more freedom in the layout of the text, it is difficult to read at the best of times! Thankyou Tom! I do go through the photos with a bit of post processing in Darktable as I take them in RAW format. They do want a bit of brightening up, i'll have a play tomorrow

Ah I think that's from hitting enter, for some reason it makes a ,, rather than a space, was hoping it'd break up the text a bit!

Ah I see what you mean! I changed the earlier bit but forgot to untick the MOT details on Autotrader! Thankyou!

Thankyou Tim! I'll be having a drive round tomorrow to see if I can find a better location

Super thanks!

Get a whiskey in me and I'm far from normal! Thanks for the feedback Noacross, all taken on board. I am hoping to get out of this price bracket soon once some more capitals in the business and get some lower mileage and newer stock. I always try to stock something with a selling point, ie the Mini is cheaper on insurance as its a smaller engine, but it hasn't translated into a speedy sale unfortunately! With the speedo pic, do you mean to put it in the advert or just keep it filed? I'm just thinking in regards to Nicks advice of removing pics with a date on so it doesn't look like old stock
