the value of your used car!

The value of your used car has been seriously affected by the price of dealers/traders used cars for sale.

The dealers/traders used cars are now priced at an all time low, there is therefore no deal to be had on the price of the car that you are interested in buying, the great deal is presented right there in front of you, it is the screen price.

Believe me my prices are so keen at the moment that I cannot deviate from those advertised.

You the customer must now come to the table with your car at a realistic price as ours are rock bottom, therefore we bought at a low price and are selling at a very small margin.

The current crisis has not made your car worth more and my car worth less, it has just brought the difference to change figure down considerably!

That is then the figure that you should now be focusing on, exactly how much you have to draw out of your bank to make up the difference between what your current used car is worth.

Forget what you wanted for your car, the figure that you would have liked previously and that which it is now worth are worlds apart, all you are doing when you adopt this thoroughly unrealistic manner is causing a massive Void that cannot be bridged!

People have brought the following cars in for part exchange, 1) bmw wanted £4500 for a car that is worth £2200, 2) a scenic wanted £1,000 worth £300, 3) peugeot wanted £1750, worth £1000, 4) focus wanted £1900 worth £1050, 5) galaxy wanted £2200 worth £1100 6) laguna wanted £1000 worth £350.

This kind of money will not even be made selling privately let alone as a part exchange, my only route to get money back on these cars is via the auction, the last time I went to sell three of mine the cars outnumbered the bidders by about four to one, I sold one of mine and took a loss.

Sorry to get out of my tree on this subject but half of my December has been wasted by peoples wildy over inflated view on their cars worth.

To the people that do agree on a price I always give them a week or so to try to sell their car privately, the part exchange is never a deal breaker for me; it is a service that I offer to help the transaction run smoothly, look on it as a fall back price should you be unsuccessful in moving it on yourself.

My Thanks to the 19 people that did buy cars from me in December including the two that came in today, Laura and Ian from Henley and Pauline and George from Stratford upon Avon, hope you all got home safely, see you on the 31st.

In Summary, there has never been a better time to find and secure your next dream car, there are superb deals to be had, I offer a brilliant package of benefits and aftercare so please give me a call.

Thanks again for indulging my rambling brain.

It really helps to get it off your chest!

nearly new year, nearly new car, used car

Another new year, another new car, well that's normally when people change their old jalopy.

Instaed of queueing outside Next or River Island at 05:00am come and see me at any time of the day, so long as it's daylight and I will sell you your next bargain priced used car.

When I used to work at Dealerships for other people selling their used cars I used to have hit more than half of my target between the 27th December to the 6th January as there was a buying frenzy.

This was probably fuelled by the boredom of being closeted with you nearest and dearest for too long, most people just go out for a walk, but if you walked into our showrooms then you fell victim to us as prey.

Victims in more sense than one as when I worked at Dealers we used to make as much money as possible from the available customers.

Now I work for myself and only worry about covering my bills and a modest wage I can offer maximum value for minimum money.

The message is come to see me if you want a bargain and want also to keep some of that hard earned money for yorself.

I hope that you have had a happy Christmas and look forward to seeing you either this side of the new year or thereafter.

Thanks again for looking in.

Regards

I can easily find the vehicle that you are looking for.

I will search nearly 1,000 new and used car dealers, major leasing companies, ex daily rental companies and end of lease return vehicles and bring you the very best deal on the car of your choice. And with my many years experience in looking at used cars, I can spot blemishes and potential difficulties which most people would probably miss.

used cars tell your friends

Hi Well the reason for todays heading is that I have had two dealers calling me asking if they can buy my cars.

Now they won't sell them for the same price that I am, this means that the people that are looking with them probably haven't got a computer!

If you know anybody in the Thame or Luton area that is looking for a car and you want to save them some of their hard earned "Bangers", then give them my numbers 01296 632634 or mobile 07878 246956 or you could log onto my website at www.acar2go.co.uk and help your friends out.

I have had a suprisingly busy few days, I have had quite a few new arrivals this week and the co-ordination of servicing, MOT's Valeting, meeting the RAC Warranty rep, etc, certainly takes its toll on you, I normally have Wednesday off but not this week.

I have a few people on the go with hard to find cars, patience and they will come up.

I am an eternal optimist, well you have to be in any used car sales operation, I firmly believe that the used car market has much pent up demand due to the shortage of buyers during the last 6-9 months.

As the New Year dawns we will have a rush of needy and wanting buyers on the phones, I don't think that it will be on a par with the last days of Woolworths, but they will all be looking for a deal and I'm the man for that!

Internet used car sales, if you think about it any business that survives purely on internet business must be doing great deals because they are up against such massive competition that they wouldn't last a month without their savvy customers..

Incidentally, Daimler Chrysler must be Gutted that I have the Domain Name, "acar2go" as they are just about to launch a, hire by the hour car system in Europe and the UK, they have called it "car2go" I was expecting a call and a cash offer to stand down and let them have my Domain name, Sorry Big Boys, I thought of it first and it's mine..

Thanks for looking in.

used cars for Christmas Dinner.

I would like to Thank Ian and Laura for the expected phone call today and for their custom.

I would also like to Thank them for the comments on what a good deal they realised they were getting, they compared me to a Dealer that was trying to sell a much older and more basic model for a lot more than my car!

You did confirm with me more than once what the price of my car was, realising I'm sure that you had found a great used car deal.

As per the title of my blog today, if the dealers don't get off the Greedy Wagon and come to the Party on used car prices, then they will indeed be having their cars around the table for Christmas.

Please don't do it, I am having it away and so are my customers, with every car that I sell, I am turning another page in the story that is, the buying pattern of my customers and their family, friends and colleagues.

I offer my existing used car sales customers a £100 referral cheque for sending their people to me, I won't tell you how much I have spent in this way, but I would need more than one hand to count them.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You and a Merry Christmas to you all.

Buying a used car from me or somebody else

Hello again and welcome to another edition of acar2go.

I had a mediocre weekend of car sales, with only two of my four appointments turning up, now I know that it was Tayters on Saturday but if your not going to turn up, the courtesy of a phone call would be polite!

This comment is only directed at the Coventry man, Guess I won't be sending one of my cars to Coventry after all, which is good because since the plants died it's been nice having them around for the company.

Imagine if you made an appointment with me and I didn't turn up! or the car that you made an appointment to see was dirty because I couldn't be bothered to clean it!

I was always taught that we are, "Ladies and Gentlemen Serving Ladies and Gentlemen".

And by doing to him as in similar cases you would wish he would do to you, or in modern English, treat others as you would like to be treated yourself, remember you Reap what you Sow!

I would like to Thank Matt and Steve for turning up and also to Ian for the polite text message and for turning up today with his wife Laura and Children, I look forward to the phone call tomorrow.

Matt, I know that we didn't have a deal because of the lack of Isofix but it was nice to have met you anyway, I hope that you are happy with the way in which I still tried to help you with some helpful advice and information, Good luck with your Honda.

Here we are in the depths of the Season of Goodwill, I watched Miracle on 34th Street with my kids at the weekend, when I heard Chris Kringle giving out details of other stores that stocked toys that they didn't have it tickled me;

I always watch other dealers stock and am constantly giving out phone numbers and addresses for other used cars that I don't have or have already sold, remember you reap what you sow, I believe in Karma.

Just a brief note about used car warranties, when you go into a Dealership you expect them to have your leg up but not your pants down too; we used to charge £365 for a one year used car Warranty and for two years it was £499, now we're all entitled to make a living but let's not take the P*"s.

We were told to say, "at just £365 it works out at just a Pound a day for Total Peace of Mind".

I charge £199 for a Comprehensive one Year RAC used car Warranty and just another £100 for the second year, Now That's Value!

My Warranty also covers Blown Head Gaskets and Catalytic Convertors, they didn't cover those items within the aforementioned Dealership Warranty!

A bit of High Horse, a bit of philosophy, a bit of general information and a bit of Whistle Blowing, now that's entertainment.

Don't forget to look in again soon.

Bye for now.

Pre christmas used car bargains

I have so many great used car deals at the moment that I hope that you can get here before they are all gone.

I have a chap coming all the way from Coventry tomorrow to look at one of my used cars, I don't know if I like the idea of sending one of my cars to Coventry, I mean what have they ever done to me?

I buy some really nice cars, I take my time about selecting only the best models, specs and types as a result of which I am often sad to see them go, or maybe I'm just Sad!

Becoming attached to an inanimate object which only comes to life when you feed it and turn it on. (Sounds like my Wife)

Anyway I am looking forward to a very busy Weekend, I have had four people make appointments to come and look at my cars, that normally means four happy people and more work for me next week trying to fill up those spaces again!

I will be updating my used car website again this evening, so no rest for the afflicted (Petrol head)

I am also listed on e-bay motors, auto trader, fish4cars, click cars and several others that I can't recall.

I have to ask people now where they have seen me so that I can spend the advertising budget wisely.

Budget, now that's a word that people don't have to worry about so much when they come to me as all my used cars are sold at amazingly affordable prices.

Thanks for looking in again, have a brilliant weekend, it's less than 3 weeks now till the fat bloke comes and cheers us all up.

Regards

good value used cars

Here we are again in December, allegedly the quietest month in used car sales, I happen to disagree with that.

There are thousands of used car sales executives up and down the country right now telling each other that this is the king of the quiet months, thinking that they might as well use up their saved holiday time due.

The market is full of savvy consumers who are well aware that when the new year strikes all the prices go up as buyers flood back to the forecourts, so now is the time to Buy, Buy ,Buy.

Because the new cars have not been selling, people have been turning instead to the used car market for the very best value deals, how dumb to pay VAT and then face the depreciation of £1000 to £3,000 in the first 3-4 months, it's a no brainer to me.

I have only ever bought one new car, in my naivity I thought that I would change it every 18 months for another new one, the theory being that I would not lose so much money!

Shreeekkkhh and screeeaaammm, how much did you say my car is worth, my low mileage, immaculate, well cared for car that I only bought new just over a year ago!!!!

And that was the end of my used car buying days.

I have been selling used cars now for over 20 years, believe me I wouldn't swap for selling new cars as I need to sleep nights.

My cars are still selling very well, I had a bit of a flurry and cleared out most of my stock, I am in the midst of re-stocking and will be up and ready again for the next bus load of bargain hunters, I have a winter policy, I stack them high and sell them at unbelievable prices.

Two of my customers this month have asked on the phone what's wrong with it? Why so cheap?
It's not Rocket Science, provide great value quality used cars and people will come to buy!

I would like to Thank two of my customers who have this month, shortly after taking delivery of their cars from me, taken the trouble to call me to tell me how happy they were with my service, it really is the icing on the cake when people do that.

Thanks for looking in.

Regards.
