Same happened to us with a 330ci coupe this week  - Advertised Tuesday 3pm driving away Wednesday evening. Great news.

Nice to have met the legendary Umesh yesterday, you can pop down more often, managed to get the customers sold to so must have brought me some good luck.

1st one this morning. I'm not complaining. Last December was my opening and I sold 2 units. Batten down the hatches til January

If only I'd saved from the oodles of cash I've paid myself instead of squandering it on frivolities like food (and wine. And loose women) I'd bugger off somewhere for the month.

Thanks Umesh, I appreciate that.

 

Rosemotors, all the cash I pay myself gets squandered by the wife so I didn't even have that pleasure!

December quite good for us at moment, 12 gone out and no returns (he crosses his fingers) November was terrible though 13 in whole month which was half that of Nov 2014

Slowed down a bit, on 9 atm. Got a few deals still potentially in the pipeline and 2-3 appointments for the weekend.

 

Would take 16-18 this month for sure.

Very good. All off ebay?

15 for the month, been very steady and pulled some decent margins - bought some good stock too.

I reckon on I'll be on 18 by Christmas which was my target for the whole month. Pretty happy.

5 over weekend - 27 for December in total, been very busy and now desperate for stock to fill some gaps, hate empty spaces. Not seen much decent stuff at auction lately and very tatty, anyone else notice quality has dropped off or is it just me? seems everything would need a fortune spending on it

Just moved a Seat Alhambra over the phone to a chap from Orkney, coming down over the Xmas break, took a Mondeo 2006 106k 2.0 TDCi in p.ex.

 

Nice strong deal that for me.

Currently sat on 30 for the Month, this weekend has seen 4 cars go. Certainly dropping off now was dead yesterday and so far today.

A lot of the dealer groups will hold decent auction stock back til January and get the added profit from the people desperate to stock up. I did quite a lot of buying last week trying to keep on top of things. Trying to get a last couple of cars today and tomorrow online but very little showing that has my interest.
