Exciting Partnership News at GL Car Sourcing! 🚀

Today, our team had the pleasure of engaging with James from The Car Range Doncaster. As a dedicated entrepreneur, he’s been scaling his dealership with fresh funding but faces challenges sourcing high-quality cars from local auctions. For instance, a Nissan Qashqai, recently acquired, had an unexpected turbo issue. This highlights a broader challenge: many auction cars, stemming mostly from finance repossessions, hide underlying faults.

It’s evident that local dealerships are feeling the pressure from large online car supermarkets in the procurement market. Their growth is intrinsically tied to their buying capacity. However, sheer volume isn't the endgame; the emphasis must be on quality.

This underscores the value proposition of GL Car Sourcing. We're elated to declare that The Car Range Doncaster is the latest partner to come onboard since the revamp of our platform. The insights James provides will be pivotal in fine-tuning our services as we venture further into the North West and Yorkshire territories.

But we’re not stopping there. We're in active dialogue with potential partners in Sheffield and Leeds, intending to assist more dealerships in sidestepping the traditional auction pitfalls and bolstering their local stock with quality.

In summary, in this evolving marketplace, it isn’t merely about matching the pace but about upholding the caliber of what we deliver. At times, this calls for thinking outside the box and integrating avant-garde solutions.

FACEBOOK REELS is the secret weapon I recommend all car dealers start using to get local customers excited about their dealership.

Reels allow you to create 15-second videos that can be added to your Facebook profile or page.

Reels are a great way to showcase your inventory and share fun, behind-the-scenes content.

To get started, simply open the Facebook camera, select the "Reels" option, and start filming!

Want to make money buying and reselling cars? Look no further than Facebook Marketplace. This platform is a great way to find great deals on cars, and then resell them for a profit.

Here are some quick tips to help you get started, sourced from REAL dealers that we work with who make money from Facebook:

- Look for cars that are being sold by individuals, rather than dealerships. These are often priced lower and can be resold for a profit.

- Bid over the phone not on messenger

- Be prepared for the seller to reject your initial offer and to VISIT them to inspect the car thoroughly before making another offer.

- Check for any damage or issues that could affect the car's value before you bid again.

This is a great way to turn your passion for cars into a profitable business!

ITS A NO BRAINER FOR USED DEALERS. What are the benefits of buying cars privately? You meet the customer so you know the backstory of the car. Customers bring the cars to you, so you don't have to travel. And best of all, no buyers fees at the "extortion" auctions.

If you buy 10 cars at auction in a month, at £400 per car, that's £4000 you could have spent on a marketing funnel. Our clients pay between £2 and £10 per lead for Sell My Car leads. So you could get 2000 leads on cars for the cost of 10 at the auction?

Take this 2013 Mitsubishi ASX with 60,000 miles. Purchased privately from a local by our client, deal done on the day, and another quality car in our client's showroom.

We'd call that a no-brainer. Would you?
