I've decided to start using my two free "cheapie" ad slots on AT to make them pay their whole bill. While I can't confidently buy that stock at auction anymore I always get some part exes for £100-£300 that fit the bill perfectly. Easy advert, fewer images, less text, less options, no warranty and I can pretty much write what I want along the lines of "Don't ask about our last, best or lowest price please". My veteran mechanic that gets more and more scared of my newish "retail" stock loves working on these cheapies, he knows them well and I like the parts prices. Today I bought a clutch kit, filters, wipers, fitted floor mats, wheel trims and a couple of other bits and got change from £90 (and this includes the VAT). The downside: Spending ANY time driving those cars, no chance for finance, no chance for decent p/x and the level of English when the phones start ringing :-)
