Anyone have recent experience with Motors?

A rep from Motors keeps popping in offering a 5 car package for £100 per month  I currently have a 5 car package with autotrader I stock up to ten 5 to 10k cars and use auto trader and eBay.  Is it worth it? General opinion on here seems to be there no good.

Tell him you know another dealer who also pays £100 per month but has a 20 car package. True story.

I get a few calls and emails from them and for that sort of money will keep them.

I have 34 for £144inc Vat.

I keep debating whether to give it up and then you sell 1. Or like today a lady rings up and comes with her son and daughter in law to see a Jazz, which she decides is too big so goes for a Micra instead. Whilst they are here daughter in law falls in love with an SLK. So that's 2 more for motors this month.

Pays for itself for the year with just a few deals, yes.

To be fair I'm not sure if the price quoted was for 5 but I think she said that was the minimum. 

 

Seems cheap if you had the full 20 but not sure its worth it for me with all other outgoings. They should do a month free trail if there as good as she was making out every one would sign up!

Isnt this on the one bought by ebay recently? If so I'd be sure they will be drawing the two businesses ever closer to one platform and pricing plan!

Will it improve the offering from the combined business to take a slice out of AT ??

I had never heard of Motors until I rejoined the trade a year ago - that says enough to me.

Thing is they have several other platforms they put it on.

Not every customer like Autotrader

I'm pleased to hear that David, having served notice on AT.

Please can you tell me the other platforms - Car Gurus I have (free version).

Yes eBay just bought Motors so will probably rollout a package deal shortly for eBayMotorsPro + Motors + Gumtree. I think it will be between £450 and £600 per month for 25 vehicles. This is purely a guess though...

I started on a free month or 2. Then a discounted month. Before commiting.
