People ringing offering stupid prices/ wanting too much for their part exes/ they’re all popping out of the woodworks!! How’s everyone else doing up north? No problem here as yet with tyre kickers. We are based North West and yes it has slowed somewhat however, the customers we are engaging with are in a need to buy situation hence no discount remains our policy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samuel welwyn 1 Posted November 22, 2022 Haha Yes, seems like they have are arriving by coach. What makes these animals wake up and think let me spend my time and fuel going round tyre kicking? Its frustrating to say the least, especially when my cars are prepped well beyond average and all show a clean mot history . Any one have any good ways of calling them out without being too aggressive? Ive been using “what would make you take it now” which tends to shake them up a bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
