grant8064 219 Posted June 3, 2017 One in ten days for us...worst period for a while now but at least the sun's shining! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ocsltd 133 Posted June 3, 2017 Nothing yet, but enquiries have picked up a bit. 1 flakey appointment for later, who failed to show up last Saturday, and one possibly tomorrow. Has been a quiet week though. It always seems to go dead during half term week, but I don't understand why, not everyone's got kids..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andymc1973 199 Posted June 3, 2017 quiet couple at the start of the week, got a rav4 on the go that could bail me out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mat C 77 Posted June 3, 2017 Traded 1 for a £700 loss, Got 1 appt on a car I wrongly told him i'd reduced! That'll make about £400. so not looking good for me either, however can only get better eh?.... I need a good June to make up for the dreadful May ( I was on holiday to be fair! ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ocsltd 133 Posted June 3, 2017 Well my flakey appointment turned up, complete waste of time! Came to look at my CR-V on at £3790, turned up in an old, battered, sunburst pink Honda Jazz with a towbar! Rear bumper was literally hanging off, huge scrape on the rear quater, every panel keyed. She had £2800 plus her car......... Oh and she was given the car by her mother so it owed her zilch!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ocsltd 133 Posted June 3, 2017 Well, much to my amazement, they went away had some lunch, then came back and dealt. Obviously came to their senses over a cheese and pickle sandwich, that my offer of £150 for their death trap was a good offer!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

betginge 73 Posted June 3, 2017 Just to add to the doom and gloom Since Wednesday Afternoon our phone line has been down, openreach can't get to us until monday Really messed up chasing leads having no outgoing phone line, We do have one man approved just waiting for him to come down and sign next week. To be honest I can't wait for this week to end. rubbish week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M.J 35 Posted June 4, 2017 Finally 1 on the board! Hardly any profit in it as its been in stock for a while but took in a nice px so should make up for it. But its bloody hard work out there at the moment! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even harder when your phone don't work, if the openreach man does not fix my line today I am going to Nail is hands to the local exchange Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ocsltd 133 Posted June 5, 2017 Just done one more. Complete contrast from the numpty from yesterday!! Really nice chap, impressed with the car, no messing about, paid by bank transfer and taken it away. It's restored my faith in the human race!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ocsltd 133 Posted June 5, 2017 23 minutes ago, s and b said: until tomorrow Ha, very true!! I'll enjoy it for 24 hours!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ocsltd 133 Posted June 5, 2017 3 hours ago, s and b said: until tomorrow Well it turns out it didn't last 24 hours, had someone threaten to "jab me one" because I had sold a car he'd come to look at earlier in the day..... On a more positive note, I've currently got a customer sitting in their car with a cup of tea, trying to sort out their insurance (only taken 45 mins so far!), if that comes off that will be 2 today. What an eventful day it's been for a Monday!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arfur Dealy 823 Posted June 5, 2017 After a 10 day draught, I sold PX to clear yesterday. Thinking about changing my name to morguemotors.co.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grant8064 219 Posted June 5, 2017 Still nothing. Why is it during these quiet times all the nutters seem to come out? Got a dodgy customer that keeps wanting a car we have on strap but they live 300 miles away, can't view it and want it delivered...and they phone every single day pretending to have forgotten the previous days conversation where I keep saying no way Jose. Another wants our Bongo camper but the fact it's 4k less than anyone else's because its done 150k doesn't seem to negate the fact 'it's a big leggy mate' to them. And finally the woman in a C1 who wants something smaller but with a bigger boot...I tried an IQ with the rear seats folded but it's too square apparently. Give me strength. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
