trade vet 701 Posted July 15, 2023 1 hour ago, petrol head said: Good point Mate. I think with both Cazoo and Cinch, the latter to a lesser degree it’s about the sizzle and not the steak. It will baffles me that people were hooked winked into thinking Cazoo was worth 10 times the value of Jardine Motor Group, or Marshall’s for that matter. They did nothing an ordinary dealer could do 50 years ago, save for buying on line. The exchange program etc is law when it’s a distance sale. Now they have launched Cazoo wholesale and are established dealers going to deal with them? I think so as they still deal with BCA! Didn’t know about Cazoo wholesale.It must have cost them a billion to find out that there is more money in charging auction buyers fees than retailing . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrishowie 14 Posted February 6 Why isn't Alex Chesterman being investigated for one of the largest frauds in Automotive history? Getting large backers, huge hype without any substance and then taking 100 million at least and leaving it to crash and burn???? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trade vet 701 Posted March 6 Brilliant !, “ They are transitioning to a pure play automotive market place and exiting fulfilment operations.How good is that for ‘gobshite ‘,you couldn’t make it up.Their proposed platform will need to be free of charge to get the trade to support them.They would be better off getting into the Hand Car Wash ‘ industry ‘ ( Sustainable Net Zero Automotive H2O Cleansing )as most of us started out washing cars and then progressed from there.

trade vet 701 Posted May 23 I am surprised they lasted so long.How long have Cinch got having lost £300m in the last 2 years ? BCA were making a fortune what with charging huge buyers fees and persuading their main vendors to accept 90% of Cap Clean on forward contracts when most stuff has been doing over 100% of Cap Clean ……so they set up Cinch because they thought Cazoo was doing so well ! You couldn’t make it up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
