  3. netting 70% of their t/o for several years when the trade find it difficult to net 2%. This is a fact that **isses me off every year ! We struggle as an Industry to make net1.5 % , and they make 70 % , we can only dream of making a 5 % return, i personally cant wait for Google to eat up some of their margin, about bloody time !
  4. I think a posh web site & a huge media following guarantees nothing in life , we had a place up here called The Gti Centre, their social media was amazing, sponsored the football club , etc, etc, bla, bla....people thought they where all trendy and the "in " place to go too, , until it went Bankrupt overnight . Lasted 2 years & went bust for over 1 MILLION !!!! ( they only rented a showroom, no assets )

  8. Love the Car Gurus leads : whats best price.....now they joined up with Piston Heads those customers can be a nightmare , more like Piston Headaches lol
  9. ok so if the customer views a car on our premises & collects the car from our front gate, is this sale exempt from the DSR ??
  10. is it classed as a distant sale if they turn up and see the car before they buy it ??
  11. We use Autotrust ( car care plan ) and have done for 10 years...... They seem to be very fair in my opinion.
  12. Hi i took a decision 3 years ago , after HSBC used GLOBAL PAYMENTS, they are absolutely useless !! So i DO NOT ACCEPT ANY C CARDS OR DEBIT CARDS, and the effect has been positive, and the customer has less rights to bring the car back / reject the vehicle. Also you have total control over refunds of deposits etc.... JUST DO IT !
  13. get used to it, they are complete morons !

  19. Have CAZOO read the distance selling regs ? CRA 2015 they are in for a busy few months , hope they have a good in house legal team, already lots of people have returned their cars, I think the customer was expecting a brand new one like AMAZON LOL
  20. Autoraper want us to work on £750 per car, soon it will be £500, we are all crazy in the Business , working for 1% turnover / profit, no other Business would entertain our costs / profit margins....
  21. This is effectively restrictive practice by Autotrader, if you look at what WBAC says then what Auto trader retail is , its laughable, they have no idea at all, they are soo detached from the coal face its unbelievable, if they had Account Managers like they used to , they could feed this info back from Dealers.. Can we say if their ADVERTISING PACKAGE is HIGH / LOW ETC ?????
  22. AVOID AT ALL COST / a friend of mine ended up in court because a lady killed somebody in the loan car he lent her , 3 years of legal hell, police, lawyers, guy had a nervous s breakdown and went Bankrupt .....
