Look at this stocklist from my village garage forecourt

[smillion]

http://www.carringtonscars.com/1Stocklist.htm

Starts with an SLR, followed by Lambo Murcielgo, Aston V8 roadster, then onto its bread and butter of 5 year old Seat's Audi's and Hyundais.

This is an old style filing station; small workshop; showroom for 1 car, rest out front. All in my local village. How do they manage that?

interesting.... location is becoming less important due to the internet...

I am in a not so affluent part of nuneaton and only show around one third of my stock in the showroom... but it doesnt matter as most of my custom is from the internet, not from local trade...

if you buy from someone with a flashy showroom then you will be paying their rent when you buy a car...

Anyone offering a service or specializes does not need a prime site, and that has always been the case, if you offer a service or product that people want they will come to you.

Bit sad they can't spell "Boxster" though ...

Its like the Ebay adds, where no one spells correctly. No offence though to any car salesmen on the forum. I have never found a highly educated kerbside motors outfit boss

Lovely, just the way to present a £200K car. Mind you, I notice that it states in the advert that it is a "physical car". Perhaps the dirt is their way of showing the viewing public that it's not a cardboard cutout .

Is it me, or is 20,000 not quite a high mileage for a 2-year old SLR?

That or his F-reg Golf? Tough choice!

 

[BlackC55]

He wants 5k for the Golf.

Dreamer.

I was expecting a real minter but found this: http://www.carringtonscars.com/F797MCA.htm



I reckon that makes your Caddy £4k's worth Olly!!

Thats nothing. Here's my local:

They stick the "cheap" cars such as the Ferrari F430 and DB9s on the outside forecourt whilst Veyrons, Enzos and SLRs are showcased inside.

Thats what I was thinking.

I have a MK2 GTD too. It is actually quite rare but I am realistic.

Well i have been noticing there has been a lot of dealers now cooperating with each other to sell stock... so if a car is non physical, it just means they dont have it on site.. so they are probably advertising for someone else... they may make less money but they are not having any stock holding costs...

I dont personally like this approach.. if you are selling a car, it should be yours to sell..

Lovely cars.
This dealer seems not to be able to spell some of what he sells either.
"Maseratti, Ducatti..."

That really is a mouthwatering collection of cars. Financing that stock must be horrendous.

 

[fredfloggle]

If they own them - many dealers sell what they don't own .

Romans sell a lot of cars on commission. They're also grossly overpriced for the most part.

There is absolutely NO excuse for bad spelling - especially if you're dealing with exotica at the highest level.
