    Theres a bum for every seat,its just a matter of waiting for the bum. I dont like high mileage mind, never did because when i started out you got a badge if your car did 100,000

    easiest way of getting out of a test drive if they turn up is insist you need to see their driving licence,very few p0eople carry this so it often sorts the dreamers out who would need to speak to the wife anyway

    i like the polish,they say,'you take this price' theres no negotiation its either take their money or no sale,i often take their money because its obvious they've done their homework and know they are only people interested in the car,sad really i used to do this when i started out a million years ago in barny hubbles car

    you can only keep reasonable costs so the best way is to keep the deposit as low as you can and then not refund citing costs such as readvertising etc,this is what ive always done but if customer had indeed lost his job then i would be pretty bendy

    I stopped buying the local paper when i realised that i knew quite a few of the people mentioned in the obituaries on a weekly basis and lets be honest here anyone under 50 wont be buying these papers so what percentage of your market are you cutting off in your advertising budget? suppose it depends where you live of course.

    i dont mind anyone looking but i do object when they bring their brats who run round with no control ,they all want to go for a test drive in the rain thus filthying the car both inside and out then go off into the sunset in their vectra even though they quite clearly did say if they were happy how my car drove they were purchasing

    yes half of what you would normally pay see simples keep up

    the old addage always applies is if it smells at pos then dont take their money i only use classifieds im a real believer in this even if short term im cutting my nose theres always a sensible trader somewhere ready to take a risk or just scrap the things is often an easier answer if they really are worth zilch

    when he comes back on saturday morning at peak time 11.30 am wait till hes parked his car up and comes strolling in and quickly put the sold header card in the car dont forget to film him too as his pants fall down do we really need these people

    Brilliant oh and this paragraph says it all in my opinion I have years of experience at the coal face of the motor trade and don’t need some graduate who has never sold a car in their life patronising me and telling me how to run my business. All I want from you is for you to treat me with the respect I deserve and help me sell more cars. I’m not an overly demanding partner. but then its never going to go back to how it was,i still think of yellow pages and just hope the same happens to them in digital heaven

    you say you have (We have identified our market ) so surely you also know how to interact with them? im puzzled because surely to have identified your market you must have a unique selling point or have you identified your market as being in the region of being able to make most mark up not being picky by the way dont forget plenty of balloons so passing cars know you are there too,sounds corny but try it

    i once tried with a photoshopped mr blobby in the background waving but it didnt help the sale
  19. It's me
    I ignore them because otherwise i find i get even more spam from them asking silly questions when all the detail is already in the advert anyway,ive yet to make a sale to an idiot,am i doing something wrong?

    car had 47,ooo at pos so even if buyer had done 10,000 i wouldnt want to go legal in such a short time base

    try LV been with them second year now,you have to go via a broker but whats offered is good and the price is excellent i went with an unknown a few years ago via a broker and to this day i think i wasn't insured thinking back oh and if going into the unknown watch simple stuff like paying extra for your own car and not having social domestic etc because one insurer does this until you get into the small print sometimes keeping where you are isnt too bad

    dead here too proper dead to the point i think my phones faulty so ring it just to check,if its any consolation my local competition are all cutting each others throats in AT but still doing nothing,im waiting out the storm as 2 dealers indies near me have bailed out since xmas, chin up

    i agree at the end of the day selling something like this you really need to be making plenty so if it does come back you have the contingency me i would have stashed a grand away but then this is why i dont do big lumps like these
  24. It's me
    why do they always want the car im driving or someone else's whos just called in too
  25. It's me
    to summarise double mint it dont drive it redo the advert through fresh eyes take new photos with a good background dont bother ebay auctions it only ends in tears ive found good luck
