grant8064 219 Posted May 7, 2018 I said last time I wouldn't open up on the next bank holiday but decided to avoid the in laws... ...what a mistake to make! Two no shows so far, one wanting a LHD conversion thrown in for the asking price, some food for thoughts looking to buy end of July and a Nigerian offering me a good export deal....it's only midday.

Sundays & bank holidays - no f***ing chance whatsoever here. My sanity is stretched enough as it is, I think I’d end up on an assault charge dealing with punters using me as entertainment to fill in their spare time. A couple of phone calls fielded - all REALLY keen but I’ll see just how keen tomorrow (I suspect I know the answer). As I sat down in sunny Scarborough just about to order the family dinner, 5.30 the phone (on divert) rings. I cut them off - what sort of a c*** phones about cars at teatime on a bank holiday Monday!?!! (I wager the sort of c*** with nowt to do except make small talk, big promises of a sale tomorrow but as we all know tomorrow never comes for these tossers).

We had a poor weekend, I put it down to the fact we didn't have enough cars, if we had say 200 more.... we might have sold 15. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Awesome Rory, well done! I've always closed bank holidays but one rang me Sunday morning to see if I was open , made an appointment for late Sunday afternoon as I'd got other stuff to do, text book bought and thanked me for taking time out to meet him, another customer called me yesterday morning and said he wanted one of cars. Think it's always a mixed nag for everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOACROSS 414 Posted May 8, 2018 We did a coupe plus one subject to finance. It's def worth being AVAILABLE but none of them were walk-ons. Same with most sales to be fair - rarely any walk-ons nowadays. Funny how the game changes over the years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattR 177 Posted May 8, 2018 Opened on Saturday, didnt see anyone, did Monday 'by appointment' but no calls, hardly a surprise, you'd have had to be keen to be looking in this weather. I enjoyed having the time out with the family, having said that, if the Mother in law had been around.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
