Every single one a Mini We do really well with complaints, i.e we get very few. I'm of the opinion, if it goes wrong, we put it right and we've only had 1 proper screamer in 2 1/2 years and that was on a 110,000 mile VW Beetle. We stopped selling px's after that and concentrated on selling the best stock we can get. So far so good! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sparky 274 Posted May 24, 2018 You know the job is on fire when a Peugeot SW that has been sat on death row waiting for two rear seats to make it a 5 seater (yes, 5 not 7) has just sold for 4k. Funny old game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EPV 631 Posted May 24, 2018 Seeing a difference this end too. More enquiries and a couple of sales. Still, if you believe some on here, the game is doomed, we’re in a recession and nobody has got a bean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funny old game. Ha yeah completely agree! I was washing my cheapie runaround yesterday, and a lad from the business next door came over and asked if it was for sale! (It isn’t). Don’t you find when things are going well, people almost fall over themselves to buy a car from you. Other times, you have to check the phone to make sure you haven’t been cut off. Strange old business.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grant8064 219 Posted May 24, 2018 We've been moaning all month about how quiet it is but the numbers have kind of come together somehow and it's been a good one. Seems very quiet for walk ons and enquiries but those that have turned up have mostly bought. Strange month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SC Derby 259 Posted May 24, 2018 Agree Grant, we've now dealt 8 out of the last 8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark101 536 Posted May 25, 2018 Brilliant month (for a home trader) and still almost a week to go. Stock total 9, sold 8 so far and still have 8 in stock - confusing but all but one came with PX (two of which sold again within a week at healthy margin). My favourite was the sale of a PX against another PX against a stock car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
