  1. The other one is rental cars - I used to share an office with a franchised car rental company and it was common practise that they would run cars over the agreed mileage limits and then before any event that would lead to mileage being recorded - service, MOT etc..., a man would come in and adjust the mileage back to a suitable level for the contracted mileage.  These cars would be happily sent off to the block for the  unsuspecting bidders.


  2. Nice new site Danny, only one thing that I would pick up on outside of the other comments - the main picture of the site you use, is centred on a different site offering guaranteed car finance, and your site if off to the right, almost in the background - the other site and their phone number are in the prominent position.  Might be worth a new picture of just your site?

  3. Have you taken a look at Tootle?  They are in essence a broker service between private sellers and trade buyers - no sign up fees so well worth a look. They also tell the customer what the likely value of their car is to a trade buyer, based on CAP clean money so this should take away the surprise that their car is not worth retail money to a dealer


  4. If you can wait a couple of weeks, we are running  DMS feature in the next edition of Car Dealer, talking to the likes of Dragon2000, CDK, MDF, Gemini etc.. Hopefully this will give you a good idea of who has the right product for you

    It was very interesting to listen to what he said about dealerships that there are less but they are bigger as they are becoming brand experience centres. He goes on to talk about VR within the showroom to compliment customers experience.

    So how long is it going to be before a dealership places a dealership in a high street and you can go experience the vehicle via VR and if you would like to have a real test drive they bring one up from a storage area for you to try?

    This is already happening with Rockar Hyundai opening stores(!) at Bluewater and Westfield shopping centres https://www.rockar.com/about-rockar
