Thanks for listening, some great stories! nice to hear the vendors have to take a pill every now again!!!

Here we go, this weeks Podcast! This is a chap I met at the auction, I don't actually know the exact term for his job description but he would bid on cars for traders that couldn't make it to the auction and he would get £50 a car. Before he done that he was an auctioneer for Manheim for 9 years, then went self employed and has now returned as an auctioneer for the last 3 years. Lots of stories we can all relate to from the characters at the block to one vendor making a massive loss, hope you enjoy! David Up next Hopefully Mr Horgan https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-auctioneer-to-professional-bidder/id1506252764?i=1000476229652

I administer them myself, I normally buy 100 booklets a time and they are great if customers just want our compIimentary warranty (normally 1 - 3 months ) I can’t remember exactly how much but I think it’s around £300 for 100 booklets so well worth the money. I up sell the warrantywise 12 month warranty, when a customer leaves a deposit I’ll give them a leaflet to ponder on it, I offer them it at cost price, if it costs the customer £120 for 12 months they know they are getting a really good deal, if they were at a main dealers it would be double.

I always self warrant, might be worth having a listen to this there’s plenty of chat about warranties on this podcast we done the other day with nick from small cars direct https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/car-dealer-pro-podcast/id1506252764?i=1000474472263
