  1. Just the 2 for me this week, thought I was going to do more but no else committed
  2. Lots of enquiries this week but only 1 sold today lovely Mecedes C class.
  3. Interesting, I've only had a handful of minis (2009 on coopers) with no issues. They sell well with full chili packs and big wheels. I'm not surprised others have had issues seeing as they are BMW product and I get nothing but hassle with German cars. Good build quality, chocolate engines.
  4. I advertise that we buy cars that does work well, I usually get them for a very good price as they just want the money. I've had some real bargains doing this; I used to buy privately but its hassle driving round finding peoples house. then finding the car is a tub etc. At least with auctions you get a condition report and mechanical report so you can see what you're buying. I know what you mean though the fees do kill it but its finding the right cars where you can rack the margin up and ignore the price guides.
  5. Be interesting to know, I recently rounded my prices up i.e £6995 to £7,000 and viewing figures went up. But I'm always playing around with numbers.
  6. Sorry to hear, theres a couple round here who have closed. It's not easy this game!! Best of luck.
  7. Yes if you want to get rid of the customer take the car back and issue a refund. If it's within 30 days they have a right to reject if it has a major fault or after 30 days you have to prove there is no fault at time of sale.
  8. Another one today, main dealers are quiet near me.
  9. 2 more today thats 6 this week.
  10. my 2 pending turned into sales.
  11. 2 sold last night and 2 pending
  12. As above! Treat them all as royalty and your business will shine.
  13. Best thing to do next time is just do your own report. I'm still waiting for them to pick it up though!
  14. I've done nothing all week
  15. UPDATE: BCA are taking the car back, my mechanics did a report which suggested the engine to be replaced, so now they are coming to collect it. Well done BCA.
  16. Quiet this week nothing so far!
  17. Keep me posted, Im still waiting for an engineer to come out?!
  18. Im on platinum ,still waiting....What normally happens then someone comes out and looks at the car?
  19. Another yesterday for me. I saw you on TPTV good interview, hopefully pick up for you. Have you changed your website? I only had a quick look and saw this Basildon Car Sales, Specialise in German cars and offer finance with Main Leander's << "Lenders"
  20. Thanks its actually on partner finance so I'm hoping my interest will be refunded as well.
  21. I currently have a car which i bought with a clean AA report but the engine knocks, suspect piston. Requires new engine. 2009 BMW 318 petrol M sport 60k miles. Called Monday 27th June still waiting for a response apparently someone will call to take it to a garage? Its really annoying and seems to be hard work getting anything out of them.
  22. No chance! Ill apply your new car with it though mr. customer
  23. Trouble with the lady she wanted £2,500 for her 207 which was trading at £2,000 and they are not the best news.
