Hi - and thanks for letting me join. Bearing in mind that I'm an upbeat sort of guy, is it me or is the Sales market getting even slower than it was? Having been in the business for 38 years, I like to think I've got at least some idea of how the game is played, but I just don't seem to be getting any enquiries. After the trauma and stress of a 40 car Main Dealer forecourt, I'm happy now to only have 4 or 5 for sale, but I keep a good cross section of stuff between £1,000 and £6,000. My biggest concern is a very clean 2011 Mazda 3 1.6 TS that has only 74k with history. I've got it on AT and all over FB at £4,500 which is a grand below the next cheapest car of the same age on AT, but I've had ZERO response in over 2 weeks. Let's not even talk about the immaculate Merc S320 on a 54, the clean 2008 Freelander (yes, I actually chose to buy it!!) or the 04 Picasso Diesel that also seem to want to live with me forever. I don't know about you guys, but I've NEVER seen it this bad....
