For me, bigger cars are the way to go. Little cars are hard to sell and especially with a margin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m having it off at the moment with small cars - I have sold one this year Edit: re read this and not sure my sarcasm comes through. I’m full of small shit and the world has ended ever since.

They all sell eventually ate. We live & learn. I do OK with small, five door autos, but we're in 'old people central here in the New Forest) so that explains it. I know 'Just Looking' does OK with small cars (including manual ones I think) though- and he's not far from us. Weird game we're in. I can never hold on to a half sensible profit with them and the punters on them annoy me more than usual. Especially people buying them for their 'little darlings'. edit: (mate, not ate. Are we ever going to get a fix for lack of like and edit button!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've made more off this one estate than my last 2 corsas, it's a real eye opener for me, I know you guys have been telling me to sack off small cars but until you experiment you just never know. I look at my locale, Lancaster is the biggest nearest city, big open area, popular with walkers and short breakers, long windy roads and a mix of low income to high earners, no wonder I struggled with small cars Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick M.K. 574 Posted January 12, 2019 Wait for your first deal with £3K retail margin, ££££ finance comission or £2K profit on the part exchange, all in the space of a week. Will make you sick every time you smell the inside of an old Corsa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
