I bought a 2009 Prius T Spirit the other day, 95K miles, Cap Clean £6600. The exact same car in 2016 would've booked at around £5.5K at those miles. 

Petrol and especially Hybrid prices have become stupid high so I've switched to buying diesels. Great bargains to be had, thankfully I don't aim for the local market (just outside London). My Prius was an absolute bargain too because of it's burgundy colour and a couple of BIG scratches on the rear bumper. 

There’s many examples but one that shone for me this week was an Insignia, I don’t touch the hatch’s as I can never shift them but the tourers seam to sell well.

Exactly 18 months ago I bought a 60 plate, grade 3 2.0 Cdti, just over 100k, Bca assured for £1750 all in. Cheap I know but surely that’s the whole point of auction? Cheaper stock but higher risk? 

Anyway an identical car went through this week, 60 plate, same miles, same colour, same spec, same grade, hammer went down at £2650 + fees

4 sold today. 3 away and 1 dipper taken. New daily record for me (was 3 previously) and takes me up to 8 this month from an average of 8 in stock, equalling last month.

Sorry Jimbo, I mean 6 for the month not for the day.  Plenty in the pipeline I reckon.

Thanks again for your kind words TV, it means a lot from someone who has been there and done it so to speak. A lot of credit goes to Arfur, I’ve borrowed a lot of his ideas and used my own to personalise it. 

Oh, I use a really flash expensive camera. 

 

It’s called an IPhone 6s! 

Thats it, just a camera phone.

Ohhhh! That’s my gimbal;

Stabillises the phone so no hand shake 

I mean, hand shake doesn’t shake the phone itself. The gimbal stops that. 

[Arfur Dealy 823]

I tried using a gimbal, I just couldn’t get used to it. 

Btw, 16 so far for me with some really big deals. My third best month ever ROI wise. It seems like a real production line at the moment with 7 in prep and 5 still to arrive. Happy days

Good numbers! We’ve struggled to do just over that from a retail pitch this month..

19 here from 35 in stock and closed tomorrow, though the right email enquiry tonight may tempt be to go in!
