  1. 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
  2. i once tried with a photoshopped mr blobby in the background waving but it didnt help the sale
  3. 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?
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. why do they always want the car im driving or someone else's whos just called in too
  9. 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
  10. well i hope you gave him those mats lying around with the pink border on them because we all have some of those
  11. 2 years ago i was of the opinion that everyone was now using satnav so a pitch was not necessary,autotrader was working fine and they all turned up,this last 2 years ive sold more stock from walk ins and referrals because im established and seeable from the road so my attitude has changed again to how it was ie you need some sort of pitch Roadside as said is free advertising so i wouldnt move now, as i did consider it to cut costs If you are off the main road then my favourite piece of saying is, 'advertise or die' and unfortunately advertising is not cheap ,as it unfortunately never was
  12. to answer your question ,you price the vehicle to what the market will pay
  13. and i thought it was just me that got this,i wonder if its due to lots of mr magoos reading details off their 10 bob a day phones
  14. i see it this way you want the car to look its best for sale you want it done the easiest way possible you want it done the quickest way possible you want it done the cheapest way if you agree with all these because i don't know about you but polish is polish to me and traffic film is traffic film the bits in between need to do their job too call in your local autosmart guy and if he's on the job he will demonstrate, leave samples and show you the best and easiest and in the long term cheapest option to stay in front of the game oh and dont put those paper mats in, they cheapen any car and are bally dangerous in many cases
  15. if you register car in your name then plates yours no skiddafle unless seller advises otherwise at pos
  16. ha viva ,the rear wings rot out and you cant stuff teacakes in to the fill the holes

  21. 3 coil packs no 1 yes i wouldnt fit a £13.99 one though as it sounds an internet copy i would fit 4 oe if it had a problem back at base from my breaker from a crashed car where engine running fine beforecrash to keep cost sensible my first thoughts were misfuel too and im still unsure regarding invoice write your own i have, put down customer has to dance on one foot if you wish ,some might like it
  22. Remember as i said it was an internet auction not a classified, i really couldn't be bothered because i knew that he would find reason to dispute when collection time came,as it turned out i got a higher price than i wanted by a customer off the street anyway so all turned out good
  23. would you sell a car to this man *************************hot off the pressssssssssss********************************** even with a full check list pdi, new mot, full independant inspection and a long drive i wouldnt sell this man a mota would you? Hi I am very interested to buy your car and would like to bid but i have some questions i would like to ask beforehand. Rest assured i am not a timewaster. 1) What if any, were the advisories on the last MOT? Is the mileage verifiable, ie old mot's, vosa history printout 2) Has the car been smoked in and has it carried any pets? 3) What is the tread on the tyres and is a full spare wheel and tyre changing tools included? Has the cam belt been changed? 4) Is all the paperwork for the car present, ie V5, MOTs, Service history, book pack, garage receipts? Is it HPI clear? When did it undergo a full service? 5) Does the car run and drive well? Any other faults with the car? Is the gearbox and engine working well? 6) Are there any rattles, squeaks and untoward noises while driving? Are there any oil or water leaks anywhere? I look forward to hearing from you VERY SOON. Thanking you for your time to give the answers Regards michael skillawonjker answers on a postcard no stamp required
