Frenetic used car sales activity wekend

Anybody would think that I had a sale on at the weekend as I was inundated with people, I would appreciate it if people could make an appointment, just a quick phone call to organise a time would be great.

I have a lovely unit on a Farm and am not visible from the road, this is great because I don't get afflicted by the normal crowd of time wasting tyre kickers, most people that come to see me check over the phone that the car is available before they travel.

I do keep my website up to date on a daily basis, but only ammend it in the evening so please check before coming in to see me, I had somebody in from Rugby to see a Zafira, not a short distance, they thought because it was on my website that it was still available!

I had three appointments on that one car alone, the second person to see the vehicle bought it, the first went away to get an insurance quote and missed out, the third one got a phone call from me to cancel their visit, a good job because they were coming from Ampthill near Bedford.

I have a fresh batch of stock due in today although I don't know if the delivery company will be able to get through the snow, I am working from home at the moment but will be going in soon myself.

I have no doubt what so ever that we will be getting another rate cut this Thursday, care of the good old Bank of England in their endeavours to get the Country back onto an even keel.

There have been a load of people paying cash for the cars that they have been buying from me, this indicates to me that people not only still have the money but are prepared to spend it as the interest on savings has gone through the floor.

I have had an absolutely brilliant January, the figures of used cars that I have sold have surpassed my business plan by almost double, there is no rocket science to this, I have been in the Motor Trade for over 20 years, I know the Formula for success.

I buy quality cars at the right price, I prepare them to a standard that dealers would be happy to emulate, I then sell them at a fair price, I also show respect and consideration to the people that are helping me to survive during this hard time; I won't be getting rich any time soon but I enjoy working for myself, the bills are all getting paid, the Bank Manager is happy and most importantly my Customers are very Happy with the deal that they have had.

Please don't forget if you are one of my existing customers reading this, I will pay you £100 or pay for your next service if you refer anybody to me that buys a car.

Please check my website for used cars that I currently have available.

Thanks for looking in again.

Regards.

Mark Duncan
