Big/ bigger dealers £40k doesn't really show a shortfall in the cash flow / system , I've heard about Ten of thousands£££ with some BIG players and it took months and months before they find an issue /shortfall ! Just very sad that these people are put in place of trust and abuse that trust! Heard a few years back small franchised dealer had new sales man , He was always willing to work wekkend's etc , The owner thought wow, this is a great find, ... as time goes on owner steps back a little bit more ! Salesman off ill one week customer comes in with an issue on a car he'd bought over the weekend - a cheapie , no trace of sale or that vehicle - Long story short , you can guess .. the salesman was selling majority of the swappers for cash - most deals showed no PX , Can of worms opened that day - I Remember him telling me how heart broken he was and thought there was at least 7/8 cars a month being sold by the salesman and pocketing all the money ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trade vet 702 Posted September 9, 2017 Have you noticed,it is usually franchised dealers which have these problems.I recall a main dealer who often had new,unreg'd cars stolen unnoticed from their ' secure' compound. While most of us could have a 50-100 car pitch,walk in at any time,scan the stock and know which car was missing or probably if one was wrongly priced up by £50 !

A few a go friend of mine worked at a franchised dealer that had been taken over [ same sales manager - that;'s the important bit ] .. Comes to my friend who was in after sales asking about some cars which were showing up on stock and if he knew anything about it ? All these cars had sat at their compound for just short of 12 months - Brand new ( Pre reg) about 10 I think of memory .. How could someone FORGET all all these cars ??? And the fact that he was in charge when they were registered ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
