Too right, better to take the hit now rather than plough on with it, find other problems, then find it sits like an unloved orphan for 6 months & every day you look at its ugly face thinking "why didn't I take the hit in the first place?"!! Been there, seen it, done it. Got the effing T-shirt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

betginge 73 Posted June 7, 2017 Ive got a nice Coupe S3 that needs going on ebay, not the type of thing for subprime. Got 3 approves yesterday and one at the weekend. All booked in for saturday and monday, if i Can deal them all it will be a great start and on target for the month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
betginge 73 Posted June 10, 2017 2 Deals today a Nice 57 plate mazda 5 diesel with 60k, lovely car with great margin and a 60 plate Astra sri 1.4t over average miles but a lot of motor for someone with bad credit who is chopping in a 98 megane convertible. megane is a peice of shit which is saying somthing for me. Not a bad week this week, lots of approvals and movement with the finance companies trying a lot harder to make deals. running a bit short on 7 seaters, just bought in a 2010 kia carens cdi for handy money, £1950 with full history and they drive far better than your average zafira trash. this month is looking better already Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BHM 994 Posted June 14, 2017 Dead. 2 gone on Saturday morning but since then just a handful of eBay idiots sending emails & a couple of tossers on the phone. A car trader (I Googled his mobile no.) giving me a load of B/S claiming he is retired & wanted a cheap car for charity work to take the elderly/sick to hospital etc. I was suspicious as soon as he said he'd send a transporter to collect. Is this normal behaviour from traders from Birmingham? Depressing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Customer got out of his neg equity and into our focus and paying less per month, we had to take a hit on the price but got a nice G out of it. Got 6 approvals going through so looking really busy next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BHM 994 Posted June 19, 2017 The trouble is cheap stock is no longer cheap after the auction house has added on their bit & as for some of the scrap offered on Dealer Auction lately this jobs getting hard. Is everyone finding that just about every car has a couple of hundred quid that needs shovelling into it to get it right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BHM 994 Posted June 20, 2017 A roaring start to the week! 3 so far, however cheapies but a small wage from each one. Absolutely no interest whatsoever in any of my better stock. As seems to be the norm nowadays, a few pillocks with raging hard-ons for cars who feel the need to phone every day to say they're "coming tomorrow". However tomorrow never comes for these tosspots.
