December Thread

Recommended Posts

Exactly the same as last month here. Got 7 away the first week and not a sniff since, not even any email leads in the last week.

A flurry of activity last week before I went away on a long weekend, however interest has collapsed (zero calls, zero emails).

Up to 8 for the month now, and I am fairly happy with that. Have bought 7 this week at good money. Just got to get them all through prep now. (Just as everyone shuts down for Xmas :rolleyes:)

How's everyone found the last couple of weeks? Been absolutely dead here. Hopefully some customers show their faces after Christmas.

I know I'm in a different game these days but Nov and Dec were flat out. I have campers booked in till late March. I'm quoting on Aprils job at the moment. And this is the quiet period, Just wait till it gets busy !!

Got someone starting with me in January as I just cant cope with it. Mrs C has made me take a few days off over Xmas but I know where I would rather be.

With regards to the only car I have for sale.... Apart from the text message bottom feeders I've Not had a sniff on the Z4 I bought at the end of October.

We've had an awful December.

1 car sold and 2 warranty comebacks, both dreaded DPF issues! :(

Hoping to see a few deals in the next few days to scrape through the month before January.

Full site wash done today, prices and adverts adjusted and 4 new cars to advertise so we're almost fully stocked. Fingers crossed and good luck to all for the New Year. :)

it was originally a typo as cum magnet

moaning as the O/S mirror electrics seemed slow, the injectors chuffing their twats off was their main worry
