    Do you know that if you buy a car that is knocked down to you 'provisional' that you are at liberty to remove your bid at any time ? Might be teaching some of you to suck eggs but that info could be useful to newbys in the game .

    Thanks for the Typo David , can only blame the spellchucker I get what you are saying . I was surprised to see Autotrademail not functioning after it was such a powerful portal back in the day . Cheers .

    Disagree with what ? I simply pointed out that we were around before the example you quoted. In fact we were the original online car buyers .......unless you know different of course Good luck with your new venture .

    First thing that hits me is how long the 2,3and 4 cars have taken to sell ! nearly 3 months each ! Seems not a very sought after model .

    Just had a quick look at the www.motors.co.uk site and done a valuation using the tab at the top "whats mine worth " all i can say is that if the customer is armed with those valuations then get ready for a real battle . Try one .

    Well the other option is stop using AT if you don't like what they are offering, but as i say things usually even themselves out but again i agree that AT is not helping, be interesting to see where things go with Motors v AT over the next few years, One thing will never change though, if you have the right car in the right colour and spec with sensible mileage and it is presented well with good provenance it will sell ................. at a price !

    On the other side of the coin most of the public are entering there details into WBAC or similar portals and getting there plug knocked in with the part exchanges so its swings and roundabouts and the skill is as always buying the best stock you can at the best possible price, if the customer wants to buy a particular car and he cannot find one at that price quoted by auto trader then he will have to shell out to get his desired choice however i do take the point regarding AT but usually things will even themselves out eventually until then "who dares wins Rodders"

    If we had the answer you could chose to open around the busy times instead of sitting there 7 days a week hoping for some footfall, Historically in my experience this week in between Xmas and the New year can be quite busy but i think the weather holds the key at the moment, usually around the second week in January things start picking up causing trade prices to escalate also, all you can do is make sure everything is ready for the elusive customer when they arrive, all documentation available and the car presented as well as you can, now get off your backsides and clear all the snow of that stock

    Another vote here for less of the New car Guff, i usually look briefly at the pictures and then move on, more interaction with dealers and a more in depth digital section for latest trends etc , i think the suggestion of " problem faults " with cars etc and dealers experiences with them could be useful .

    I have been buying and selling cars for over 35 years and discrepancies regarding valuations have been the same for all that time and not much has changed IMO, back in the day you had Glass's and then CAP emerged as a competitor also we had the retail customer turning up with his Parkers guide in his hand, Now we have valuations available from a whole host of sources, Manheim also have a new system using live data but at the end of the day valuations are all subjective, and can even differ from region to region although this is less apparent now in the digital era, At the end of the day you make your own judgement using your chosen valuation tool and "earn or learn" as we used to say . Nobody can value every car the same and rightly so, thats what makes this business different to many others because there are so many variables . If you look at Sytners Auction site for an example i have seen a desirable car go on sale at £x only to see the car sell for another 3-4k ?? obviously the customer has accepted Sytners valuation when he or she part exchanged the car .

    Kudos Kevin, Just one point though they have been like this for years maybe a change of staff but IMO company policy .

    I don't mind saying that every time i have bid on cars belonging to the Sinclair group ( not saying this is whom Umesh is referring to ) i have never had a response so stopped trying . ATM will not reprimand or ban a dealer that are supplying them with stock, they can do without small dealers but the source of stock is something they will not jeopardise
