MattR 177 Posted October 23, 2018 If you need the cash because its nearly time for a VAT return, then yes. If you dont need the cash, would you be able to replace the stock? no point in selling to make nothing. if they arent overpriced, then ride it out. Update your pictures to freshen things up online, it gives you something to do! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If your stock is too dear then maybe. If it is priced right(Or too right/cheap)put them up, I have had them in the past where I have bought them cheap and not asked the right money for them and they have sat around, put them up and have sold. You really can't work this job out! Also ca you go and replace the stock you have for significantly cheaper money? Probably not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOACROSS 414 Posted October 23, 2018 October has been OK for us on the whole but has been quiet the last week/weekend. When it’s quiet, I usually ride it out- plus have faith in the stock (also I don’t have that Autoraper monster to feed) but great advice above. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always tend to stand my ground if the car is nice, no point working for nothing IMO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blenheim Car Sales 111 Posted October 23, 2018 What may be an idea and it is something i am doing, if your car was pictured 4 weeks ago it will be with trees with full leaf, It may be an idea to take some more pics to bring it into line with Autominal conditions so customers believe its just landed, Small very insignificant nonsense point i agree but its these trivial matters that sometimes makes a difference Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick M.K. 574 Posted October 23, 2018 I've had a great month and to possibly make it even better I've discounted a couple of cars that I've had for a while. Small price movements, £100 here, £200 there if this gets me Great price marker even better. I also increased a couple of prices though to stay away from Priced Low. It is a good idea to shuffle you images slightly, maybe replace the "money shot" front angle with an interior photo, definitely change the attention grabber and all the details buyers would remember. A new set of photos is always a great idea but sometimes the one you already made are so good, there is hardly any point in spending another 3 hours (in my case) on a new photo session Bought a beautiful MINI Convertible today. Drove it back from Blackbushe to Bucks with the roof open, heating on, seat heating on, I must've been the envy of the M25 in the sun this afternoon. "Best time of the year to buy one" goes in my attention grabber! Being a 2.0D probably also means it's the best time in history to buy one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
