There is no reason whatsoever in 2019 not to have cars ready to go. People want to pay and drive off. They won't tell you they will just buy elsewhere.

No - 40+ Minimum. Very efficient in terms of prep and having cars ready to go. Few obstacles in front of buyers. Desirable stock. Work fucking hard. I certainly spend more time in the business than anyone else I know.

We have 45/50 max probably been hovering around 40ish for sale the past couple of months at any given time.

You must have lost on some. No ones been in this job for a few years and not lost out. Its not possible. Ive had a few big hits. Q7 that came in as a part ex. Sold it. Some twat bought it and did about 3000 miles in 2 weeks. Engine completely knackered. Had to give a full refund, rebuilt an engine it was still not right.Gearbox ended up needing replacing. Ended up bodging it up and ebay selling it. Lost at least £4k. Game of averages, win far more than we lose.

Snap ons bad for Merc Andy. We are trying to buy a knock off star for the Merc's we are stocking.

Honestly the worst thing anyone can do is follow Cap. As the auctioneers always say - 'Throw away the book on this one'. Its miles out, absolutely miles on out anything.

Your never mega quiet David. Same like us. 22 cars for September so far - Trades dead, jobs on its arse.

What is Cap at the moment though? To me cap clean tends to be the starting point for the bids to begin at. I never price to cap retail therefore whats the point of buying to cap clean. That Audi A5 would still have profit in it. Buy as cheap as you can, sell as high as you can repeat.

Probably abroad. Ring car.

I remember having some cash taken by a police officer. The amount that was presented as evidence was significantly lower than the amount actually taken. Couldnt really complain about it to anyone at the time.

I suspect what has happened is someone has been adjusting the volume on their computer and accidently bid for a couple of cars by accident and then not gone to pick them up. Easy done.

It really is impossible.

Constantly got to be on the look out for that.

Trust no one. Never take a card payment over the phone for any amount greater than you are prepared to write off.

Bet you are still getting asked to fix it

Dear Cuntomer, The CRA 2015 is in place for your protection.It also protects the dealer. You cannot pick and choose the sections you wish to use in your favour. The CRA states for any defect present within 30 days you are entitled to a refund. I am offering you a full refund due to the car having numerous issues and I want the car back to establish some facts and why this car is not meeting the bill of our usually highly prepared cars. I want to launch a full internal investigation into the matter. Furthermore I am a fair, reasonable trader who looks after my customers. I can only reimburse you for items explicitly agreed in writing. You have been given no authorisation for any expenses against this vehicle. Multiple spurious claims have arisen since purchase. I am sure you will agree the best course of action is a refund. Please return the vehicle, with any documents within 14 days and I shall make a quick transfer back to you for the amount paid.

If I had a car on stocking or outright and it was at 90 days I would just end up cutting my losses, taking a hit and shifting it on.Buy something else, take some finance comm, take in a nice PX. There is a lot of silly old men in the trade who think anyone who pays over cap clean for a car is 'money laundering drug dealer innit'. Many, many businesses make funding work for them. Some don't. That being said some people with a big pot of money owning all their stock still take losses and still mess up when buying. Keep up that kind of activity and your out of a job funded or not. Cars are worth what anyone wants to pay for them. Set your limits and worry about yourself and what you can do.

Keeping on top of stuff like this means you know when to buy and not buy. Might aswell get that RRS from a dealer. They have took an absolute hammering lately, when they level out buying rights going to have them looking banging value for money. I did alright and bought 9 today, 7 at Colchester Manheim 2 from Northampton Manheim felt most were fair money.

Use ace engineers.

Depends on your take on it.I would see it as a trader in Walsall with good reviews and feedback will stand out more so than the bad ones so push every customer for positive feedback. Ultimately having cars people want, means that people will travel for them and you will sell them irrespective of where you are. You are in a hugely populated area with lots of people looking for cars at any given time. Use image sliders, video, website, advert text every single thing you can to say buy from me i'm a good trader not one of these bad ones.

Does anyone know the relevance criteria and what it takes to be highly relevant Vs just a bit relevant?

XFS know if you don’t take part exes why not offer finance. It costs nothing to set up. Over the course of a year you will make some money in comm. even through a broker you can do nothing to pay for 6 months giving people not trading in chance to sell theirs. It takes minutes to prop and get an accept. If anything trying to work efficiently and easily like you are it’s probably easier and brings you in more money.

Bought them like that Sir

Helps to get ahead doesn't it. That and a natural ability to know what sells and tell which cars will break down on the way home and what will fly out and not come back under warranty
