    Had a letter through this morning "Notice to surrender or renew trade plates" I sent the cheque on the 02/01/19, it's not been cashed & now this! I wonder if anybody else will be getting this letter that has sent their cheque in

    Had same letter. Re-sent check and new form this morning. 

    cheque* even.

    Good stuff. Gotta be happy with that from 28!

    We’ve done a couple more than you, but with more in stock. Let’s hope February continues in the same vein. 

    (Rory will come along now and say he’s done 45 and skink our battleships ;o)

    Yep no complaints here

     

    Put a 2008 cat d Touran on this afternoon for £1790, clean and drives well so expect the phone to melt on that tomorrow.

    We've done 20 retail from a stock of 28 (average holding over the month). and a couple of very cheap pexs.

    Pretty decent for January - got maybe 2 more than could be done before month ends too, but can't be sure.

    1 more of the 2 potentials now a sale so 21 for the month.

    /\/\/\ This

    Why on earth does anyone come to clearly a professional outfit and then start checking the bulbs all work when you have already explained that the car will receive an advisory free MOT when you collect.  Worse than that though, people who insist on performing an emergency stop to prove the brakes work.

    sooo true, never understood it.

    Personally I think this is one of the trickiest questions in our industry

    I honestly think a large % of customers think our cars should all be our back to new mechanical standard and parts shouldn’t be worn. 

    If a part fails and we offer to fit a second hand one how often do they say ‘I don’t want a second hand part’ - but EVERY part on the car is either used or second hand!

    We were with Lawgistics for 3 years and they were great - helped us no end and I learned lots

    since we moved we’ve never needed them. My own experience has been enough. Never had to go to court and feel confident in dealing with everything in house - even the super screamers.

    If you get one from A4C and they have missed something, ie clutch slipping, they will 9/10 give you a reduction.

    Back in the old days we picked up a 2002 Mondeo and clutch was slipping and they gave us £250 and it didn't cost us that to get it done (then).

    Not sure if that's changed now though.

    As a really loyal eBayer selling cars since 2002, I have watched its decline, a lot of us have..... My EMP package is £175.20 + VAT, no Gumtree. Over the last year and more importatntly the last 3 months its been dead, all my sales are from AT.. hardly any enquiries at all.... Anyone else seeing the same ?  I'm ready to end EMP.....

    But then I think it's only £175...... 

    I go through the same thought process almost monthly, but then we sell one through it and I think 'oh it can stay another 3 months'.

    Even if we do 10 a year through it (I'm sure we do more) it HAS to be worth it.
