  1. Solid end to September here (1 Saturday 2 Sunday)

    And a nice start to October (1 yesterday 2 today)

    Ticking over nicely. The two today a £7k and £8600 and neither wanted to test drive, asked any silly questions or anything, volunteered deposits and left happy.


  2. Oh we've sold a few cheap estates to Africa actually but they've not flown over, normally someone done the deal for them in this country.

    I think they strip the cars and fill them with electronic goods then ship them over, the cars are still worth something over there and it's much cheaper than a container.


  3. I don’t think they are anywhere near as strict on mileages now. We’ve certainly had companies contact us that will look up to 150k on diesel vehicles - especially if they are newer cars with high miles.

    and 120k is certainly not correct as we got someone financed on a 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe at 126k just last month (£2390).


  4. Which is fair enough and he is not the only dealer operating within that school thought - though personally we’ve never had any issue at all within the 7 years we’ve offered finance.

    One mutually agree DEKRA report in that time on a Mini that found one minor fault (nothing like the customers claim as we and Close brothers suspected...)

  5. To be honest there’s no reason finance couldn’t be implemented into the procees if Simon wished.

    Still take the £100 deposit, process the application (20 mins extra work but worth it for the commission). If they pass great they collect like normal, e-sign the docs and you are paid via bank transfer as you request.

  6. We are of the reduce a couple of hundred till it sells brigade, it happens, sometimes even on proper well prepared cars you've sold 10 times over before.

    Also like to re photo is somethings been in say 8 weeks. Then the price drops can start at same time so taking it to whole new audience.
