I think it would hard to sell a 30 k car without offering finance maybe up to 5k you would be ok .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then you got an A4 estate at £14k a red one that has had a little interest in 9 weeks. Joe Bloggs says "i can only afford £6k if finance was available I would love that A4". In fact he leaves and wants an A4. In another instance you got the A4 for sale and and Mr Cash can afford to buy it. However he sees you got another motor he fancies more at £7k. Do you see the issue? You got one man that can afford upto £14k another one is limited but can afford monthly repayments. Like some others have said having finance can be the deal breaker. PS some people buy stuff on finance so they can build their credit history Edited August 27, 2019 by TangoVictor32 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XFS 70 Posted August 28, 2019 I think you have to be very niche not to offer finance and stock a particular type of vehicle with a limited market. If you have mainstream stock appealing to mainstream customers by not offering finance you have probably ruled out the majority of your potential customers. Examples. Land Rover Discovery Sport Black Edition in Black 66 plate average miles costing 25K - will mainly appeal to a younger buyer and customer has dozens to choose from and many finance deals on offer. Range Rover Sport HSE in Aintree Green, Brown Leather very low miles on a 14 plate costing 28k. If such a car exists, it will probably be the only one in the country for sale and will have limited appeal mainly to a mature audience who probably won't want finance.

Mojo121 229 Posted August 28, 2019 I think as others say it would depend on your stock profile but ultimately you’ll make a decision based on how much business you think you’re losing. Start without and see how long it takes before the thought starts niggling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Ayers 171 Posted August 28, 2019 Some religions don’t believe in benefiting from lending money. If that is the case would it be acceptable to either put it through at the lowest rate your provider allows and don’t earn any commission or get the provider to donate any commission to a charity of your choice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just remember they are all borrowing money to buy your cars anyway , Bank , Supermkt loans , Hardly anyone now has the cash in their pockets , so its borrowed money rules for most people .

We've had a few of those types Casper One particular girl who had been bought a 1yr old C1 by her Grandad was apparentley the wrong colour for her , Being a dark grey with red trim and only 16,000 miles i felt i had to agree with her really , She wanted a white car and our sticky 4yr old 40,000 mile 1 litre white Corsa was sat winking at her in its white gleaming coat So she was offered a few shillings for her C1 as it looked so bad in Grey and red with Sat Nav , blue tooth , Air con and took the Corsa , Said "daddy I'm having this one so go and pay for it" No please thankyou He just curled up and said she is spoilt Spoilt, my god if she was mine she'd be working in a salt mine now learning about life . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tadams 29 Posted September 10, 2019 There certain banks and lenders that can help you out i believe, its called "Murabaha" where the lender buys the product and then sells it to the customer at a price above what was originally paid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
