Rory RSC 596 Posted November 21, 2016 Yesterday was brilliant I do 10-4 on a Sunday usually come in around 9ish - From 09:20 until 4:40pm I had customers on site all day did not have a spare minute and not had a busy day like that in ages. Absolutely love it can't beat that buzz of dealing all day love it. Just me and my valeter in and managed to sell half the amount of cars in one day that I have sold so far this whole month, just completely out of nowhere, nothing different just swarms of people.

SC Derby 259 Posted November 21, 2016 Blanked the weekend but got one on the board this morning with a phone deposit, car isn't actually here yet. Thats the benefit of Autotrader unlimited stock, can put everything on thats due in - sold 3 that way this month before they've even got here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everything coming in seems to be missing a locking wheel nut key. Countless time wasters...but then they all come out when it's quiet. Crap weather.....making valeting more of a pain than usual PS the smart money is in night shifts at ASDA ...no really it is How did your trip to court go, did you get rogered by m'lud or did you get a fair and favourable outcome? Totally agree on the weather, currently staring out of the office window at a Qashqui that needs valeting for pictures and the forecast says heavy rain all day Did 2 last week, apart from that been swamped with poor credit customers and time wasters taking up my time with no sales amongst them, yet ...

SC Derby 259 Posted November 21, 2016 I have had to take two part exchanges back as well, due to faults cropping up. Annoying but seems to be the biggest problem for me over the last 6-8weeks. Before that we had a great run but at the minute every part ex seems to turn to sh*t after I've had it for 24 hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is exactly why I generally try to avoid taking part ex's. It does hinder some sales, but does prevent a lot of grief / problems...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't afford to have to write off £200/£300/£400 a couple of times a month... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ocsltd 133 Posted November 22, 2016 Sold a cheapie yesterday, but still finding it very slow..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grant8064 219 Posted November 22, 2016 Sounds like some of you are not having the best of months...hopefully it'll pick up for you! October was a poor one for us but this month is going well for sales. Got a Range sold that I expect will be an issue (one of those kind of customers) but otherwise all good.

Got me some mafia and golf books, downloaded season 2 of Narcos and have dieted to allow me to eat like an American. Emails will not be looked at, calls straight to voicemail. For one week only Mathew, I'm going to play at being a normal human being. The job can go and **** itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Overall November has just not delivered for me. Worst month of the year, clawed it back a touch the last week or so but disappointing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
