BHM 994 Posted April 1, 2020 On a serious note, although currently I’m getting a few arseholes everyday asking puerile questions, it won’t be long before some of the general public will be GENUINELY looking for cars. At the moment I’m closed but what ‘policies’ will others be implementing to limit contact for the foreseeable future? Unfortunately I can’t see Argoses new pay online & in advance working on secondhand cars (and neither do I blame the punters for this). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately I can’t see Argoses new pay online & in advance working on secondhand cars (and neither do I blame the punters for this). hmm, good question, maybe after lockdown is cancelled, and we are given bail, this bail may still come with conditions, regarding contact, certainly we have to limit test drives, and making sure that test drives do not come free , maybe something like this = "we have been advised that due to covid 19, test drives are to be restricted only to customers who, after producing driving licence, and a £100 CASH debit card payment to cover full sanitisation after test drive, please bear in mind, that this car may have been test drove by a previous customer to you, who has also been charged £100, we would be very concerned to put you in a un desanitised car ! £100 to be refunded at point of sale off sticker price " Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
