BHM 994 Posted August 8, 2017 I half expected the answer to be 10" on the hard God knows how you get a penny out of the punters before they even see it - half of the greedy bastards I deal with don't even have a deposit after the test drive - the number of punters who have to be directed to the nearest cash machine surprises me. Who on earth goes to see a car without at least a coupl of hundred quid with them? ANSWER: my punters! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I only appoint after I have received the deposit and they have confirmed their intent to buy Genuine confirmed buyers only is my rule. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arfur Dealy 823 Posted August 8, 2017 I buy the right cars, I'm very choosy, I prep to a very high standard which I emphasise. Quality sells to quality buyers, if you are a dealer in crap, you deal with crap buyers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
