Thankyou for making march another record month for Executive Cars. We must be doing something right.

The ongoing success is not attributed to anything other than the quality of stock that we keep, that, combined with a straight forward and down to earth approach to what we sell. No fancy sales techniques, no flashy showroom, no expensive lifestyles to maintain. Above all, we love what we do, we love older cars, we understand that not everyone is foolish enough to buy new, nor wealthy enough to afford to lose 25% of their asset in depreciation every year if they do.

My usual invitation is extended to any dealer, private seller, or previous customer to sell me any kind of special, unusual, old, or interesting vehicle you may have. I am extremely short of stock and therefore as vulnerable as I can get to giving a good price. I have been playing with the idea of stocking a few older motorcycles as well, so if you have anything interesting, please call me.

Going back to fancy sales techniques, its amazing how many people leave their cars on consignment with dealers because they hear what they want to hear, that is, that it is worth more than it actually is. From the dealers' point of view it is just an easy way of getting another car to potentially sell at no cost to himself. Often the difference between what the customer wants and what the dealer is prepared to pay is consumed in the amount of time that it takes to sell, so I would suggest the following ; if the dealer is not prepared to cut you a cheque at any price, is he the right dealer to be dealing with ?
