One 60 year old man bought a Corsa VXR off us, gave us a box of celebrations and then turned into a customer from hell when he got his ruler out measuring panel gaps. Once got a £20 cash tip off someone. Never even had so much as a thank you card. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every "Thank you" card I've received has ended up costing me £200-£300 in goodwill repairs. I dread receiving the next one.

umesh 336 Posted September 7, 2018 Do get lots of bottles , chocolates and 'thank you cards' ! #nice One customer every year at Christmas without fail brings in couple of bottles and bag's ( yes bags's) of chocolates/biscuits, sweets ....#ravingfans I call them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOACROSS 414 Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) Get the odd card/ letter/ bottle of wine occasionally- mostly from oldies. This is my theory about 'loyalty' nowadays, in that it's becoming a rare thing as the internet generation grows older and the nice return punter/old lady/ polite proper person etc dies off. Trying to get the kids to even send a 'thank-you text' to relatives at Xmas and birthdays was like getting them to unload the dishwasher. Effort.

grant8064 219 Posted September 7, 2018 F**k me, what are you guys doing to get bought bottles of wine and thank you cards? And how long are you spending with them? Never had anything off a punter myself bar their money which suits me fine, it's a business not a social club. If they turn up without being full of buyers remorse and don't phone on Monday morning with an EML on then that's a job well done in my book! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
have a word with the wife 299 Posted September 7, 2018 under 25 you wont get naf all [age we are talking] i try to avoid that age range anyway 25 up to 40 if they've had proper shitters all there life they will appreciate it if you've sold them a good car, and will text after a week, "just to let you know the cars great, thankyou for your help" was a recent one, and they will recommend you, now to me, thats better than a drink, because i dont have to spend on advertising, i don't have to discount to compete, and the sale is a lot easier and more relaxed,ie, i am not looking at folded arms . i very rarely drink so sell the bottles on anyway . 40+ if you look after them they will return, and buy again, the sensible ones if they have a problem, and you sort it for them, and charge them, they will pay you more than asked, because, you've given service, you've removed worry, and they've got faith in you. and that's very similar to a bottle or a box of chocs 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EPV 631 Posted September 9, 2018 Someone gave me a £20 drink once. Which was nice. Frankly i’d rather they bought a car from me and I never saw them again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BHM 994 Posted September 11, 2018 Physically, I’ve never had so much as a bean. I have however had a few phone calls thanking me for the car, generally from people 70yrs+, sometimes the same day when back home, some a week later & one 6 weeks later. I’d rather they didn’t bother - when their phone no. pops up on my phone I dread answering it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had just collected the rejected Meriva (see other post) and it is soooo quiet here, not getting on with my Landlord (we've agreed to part ways) and then I get this text (saved in my phone as Smart) - My heart sinks, sold a Smart car over 10 weeks ago, what now.....
