Tom 164 Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) 1 today nice little Fiesta! Had a lady look at it but wanted the husband to see it and these two young lads turned up (who did call me previously) just bought it on the spot whilst the lady was still here! Snooze you lose love! Last time I had 2 people on the same car was an MGF were they where both circling the car like vultures until one bought it.

TDB 31 Posted July 1, 2016 The same with me today Tom.....first customer humming & arghing......trying his best to get everything for nothing....says I will be back in 20 minutes with my "expert". Ten minutes later chap & son pop in buy the car and drive off happy. Second chap comes back totally bemused that I would sell to someone else! Its a ten grand car Sir first past the post wins! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 164 Posted July 1, 2016 Trouble with the lady she wanted £2,500 for her 207 which was trading at £2,000 and they are not the best news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SC Derby 259 Posted July 1, 2016 To be honest I think I'd prefer that to happen than to actually sell two different cars. It is SO SATISFYING. Especially when they ring up and say 'I'm the one who viewed the X earlier/yesterday' and you can just scream down the phone ITS SOOOOOLLLDDDDD 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justina3 518 Posted July 2, 2016 Agreed that is a great feeling, i often rub it in a little just for smug factor had a customer look a fiesta last week and she wasnt sure her expert boyfriend thought the pads on the back where a little low ! hmm there drums madam no pads there and as for your expert i would part x him in. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rory RSC 596 Posted July 4, 2016 Danny there's a place down the road from me. I spoke to the guy there on Saturday as I bumped into him at the hand car wash we both use. He has not sold a car since the EU brexit stuff and sells quite high end similar stuff to you. Probably doesn't make it any easier but I don't think you are alone. I have certainly been a bit quieter than I would like here. Stay positive, new week and get selling some cars Facebook marketing offer a special offer perhaps just anything to drum up a bit of interest. Good luck. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing like a warranty Monday to start the day. Know a good place for gearboxes in Birmingham who are quick and cheap if you need a number let me know.

Rory RSC 596 Posted July 4, 2016 Yes they can recon while you wait or for common boxes have them on the shelf on an exchange basis. Very good and fairly cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SC Derby 259 Posted July 5, 2016 Just sold a 3k Fabia, through Parkers (motors network) to a student from Sheffield. I've been highly critical of Motors in the past but I'm currently paying £185 a month for 30 cars and it's easily justifying the outlay. It seems to be bringing in 2-3 deals a month minimum.
