Used cars are not being affected by the Credit Crunch!

Forgive me Customers and readers it has been 10 days since my last blogging.


I have been MENTALLY BUSY trying to maintain the level of quality used cars that I am renowned for supplying, it is not easy, I drive up and down the Country, visiting many dealers.


You see I only buy my used car stock from reliable sources, mostly dealers but also some private purchases.


I had several customers in today thay remarked how they were considering most of the models that I have in stock, peugeot 206, Renault Clio, Ford Ka, Vauxhall Corsa, peugeot 306, rover 200, etc.


I told them that I have been in the Motor Trade for 20 Years and I only buy the cars that are very good sellers, I prepare them to a standard that is beyond what you would expect even from a dealership.


I spent about 5 Hours today valeting the Renault Clio that is available on my website www.acar2go.co.uk

used car pandemonium

February has been my best month since August last year, Thank you to each and everyone of my customers.

I had a great suprise this week as one of my loyal customers from when I worked in a Dealership tracked me down, he was after a car for his wife, he went into the Dealership and asked if anybody knew where I had gone.

This is the great bit, they all shook their heads because they knew that if they sent him my way that the outcome would be predictable.

So they lied, the staff from "Evans Halshaw Vauxhall in Hemel Hempstead" who all know exactly where I am, LIED!

Hardly a suprise, after all they are typical Used Car Sales People and what more could I expect?

I on the other hand am not a Liar, which is one of the reasons that I left the great Used Car Dealership Rat Race, which according to numerous accounts highlighted many times by the Media is renowned for Lying, Cheating and outrageous profiteering, not that I am pointing any of these harsh and hard hitting comments at my previous employer!

That could be interpreted as a bit unfair as I only have my old faithful, honest, loyal customers word for this, why would I believe his word over that of all the people that I used to work with in the Used Car Sales Industry!

Anyway regardless of any of the above my customer did manage to track me down, he did this by going onto google and entering the following, "Mark Duncan used car sales" hail the all seeing and mighty power of the Internet.

I have already had a super referral from him and will be supplying one of his close friends with a car in the next few days, incidentally he didn't appreciate the way he was treated whilst on his last visit to the Dealership and as he has now found me guess where he will be going in future for all of his cars!

I heard another horror story from a Customer that went to Auction, to "Save some Money" he bought a car and was rubbing his hands together at the potential saving of @ £600, sounds like a Super Deal to me, however when he pulled into a petrol station he went the wrong side of the pump, no problem just move to the other side, "Big Problem" as the reverse gear in the
gearbox was knackered, he has had a quote for a new gearbox, he won't be getting any change out of £1200 so not such a great deal after all.

I have heard the same type of story time and time again over the years, don't get caught out, get a comeback, when you are looking for a great deal on a used car with WARRANTY then come and see me.

Thanks for looking in again.

Regards

Mark Duncan
