    We've been moved over to this new Autotrader portal 

     

    Does anyone else think its absolutely awful and they've spent a load of money fixing something that wasn't broken?

    agreed, I really am not liking this  at the moment, its all in the wrong places for what i am used to

    this is trying to stay professional when you really want to be angry with them Its also a 1 in 20 thing i think, 19 people will give you a text masterclass and disappear never to be heard of again and then 1 of the 20 will make the purchase and will surprise you

     

    just a mater of how much patience you chose to offer them

    They do have a very efficient scanning system that locates the vehicle from a scan on the car windscreen, That is of course unless there is a  bit of ice around and then no one scans anything and cars move and then its not updated, These yard staff are brutal in there breaks there breaks times and are really so unhelpful, its like they go out there way to not want to help even thought they all have jackets saying How can i help or something similar

     

    I thought i had finished my rant ..........................apparently not

    Buy 80% my cars from BCA all over UK, Brought  a good few from Enfield, Some time in December they change things, They closed the key office and changed the system for  getting your car off site AND THEY THINK THIS IS BETTER MORE EFFICIENT, I was back there yesterday and some how its still in place and senior management are plodding along with this dinosaur  of a system unwilling to accept that its a backwards step some how trying to convince everyone its working, 1 hour wait minimum before your greeted by a man in a yellow jacket cant string 2 words of English, 20 min searching for your car another 20 min digging it out from where it is.

    every other site is bar coded where your car is, key office to get keys and then its just asking staff to help remove it, This Enfield site is just wrong its not more efficient its NOT WORKING, Please  listen its wrong you can do better than this, It may have sounded  good when you were locked away in your Office with 15 people  thinking it was  better but i guess none of the  guys making those decisions have ever moved cars around a site, It needs to be changed, I have not got the luxury of 2 hours wasting my  time for something that suits you because it certainly does not  suit me

     

    Rant over...............Feel better now

    I liked the video very professional, Obviously we are in same boat here the  adds in full cloud are not as desirable as the BMW in the sun, I guess you will be doing something once we get a  forecast for sun.

     

    Just me................  i take a  pic of the  2 keys sitting on the handbook, And while i am keen to have  sun pictures for exterior i find cloud cover best for the interior, Its  just so you dont have shadow and sun in the interior pics, I doubt the point i have made will or would have made put anyone off its just me and what i do

    I had a  Mazda 6  a 2.2 TDi some time ago, Some national sales manager for a drinks company, That had 223k on it one owner 18 services with the first 100k all done at Mazda, I have driven loads of high mileage German stuff and of course they take the miles well, I drove this  and it was truly unbelievable it really was tight  had excellent suspension and body control, all the interior and switch gear gave no sighs of the  mega miles, Only  small giveaway was the  drivers seat that felt a little flat,

    He  did  quite rightly say...............  where is the wear in an engine doing 2000 rpm in 6th gear for 2-3  hours 2 times a day as he was visiting customers

     

    That car really was an eye opener, It  drove perfect, Brought it at a  £1000 and sold it 3 days  later £1500 to taxi man,

    way i look at it ...................condition is very subjective......................  low miles the sort of miles that make you different to everyone else now thats  a material fact, its a huge bargaining point, For an easy life i tend to go for  less than 100k on Diesels  lower the better and 80k for petrol's again lower the better

    we all know however that a  150k diesel thats been serviced 10 times has a whole  lot of life left in it, Buying public are still thinking its  a high mileage car

    cars sales is the  best way to make a  small fortune..............................  of course we all started with a large fortune but that`s beside the point

     

    For my  two peneth.................  its a lot harder than you think, From the outside i would agree it looks "easy money", Pitfalls where you could never imagine,  Every purchase and then every sale is a potential risk and  loss, it will consume time like you can not imagine and you will wonder how we established lot end up carrying it on given all the hoops we have to jump through

    Yes key fact, The garage surely had indemnity against  Muppet tech`s ??   this is the root cause of there problem

    By coming to you and  blaming you for there issue is like when the titanic hit the Iceberg and saying it was the icebergs fault
