Zahoor 3 Posted November 5, 2020 Hi I don't think it is good offer from Autotrader November will be fully charged when customers can not even view and test drive and can not even collect it from forecourt and December is free they should make November free and charge December invoice hopefully when customer can come in the showroom view and test drive or at least make November 50% off we had 2 inquires today they wanted to come and view and test drive when we told them we can not offer viewing or test drive both of them refused to buy cars with distance selling conditions. I think we will have to speech to Autotrader about their offer or may be i am wrong please comment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus November’s invoice is deferred to pay in January. I didn’t think they would do anything so I take my hat off to them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A & S 20 Posted November 5, 2020 I am more than happy for AT doing this as December can be a bit dicey in normal circumstances, now you can say you have 50% off each month or buy one month get one month free and you pay at the end of the deal as they won't be taking any money from us until January. You never know they extend it depending if lockdown gets extended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RH Trading 80 Posted November 11, 2020 Not sure what Zahoor has been smoking. Never expected anything so its very welcome, see others have now followed but the AutoTrader one was the biggy that makes the most difference, with click and collect and delivery we're still able to trade and sell right now (just off to deliver a Polo to Sheffield now bought entirely online) Hopefully even with a slow down for Xmas we'll be out of lockdown by the 2nd and able to make a few sales with zero AT cost.
