Description
The current vendor has been in ownership for the past 18 months and has reluctantly decided to due to personal commitments and a strong desire to take an early retirement. Since acquiring the business, the vendor has built a good reputation with the majority of customers travelling from all over the Midlands to purchase a vehicle. The vendor has carefully and cleverly constructed a website which displays all its current vehicles and this has allowed customers from further a field to take advantage of the stock on offer. The forecourt can accommodate up to 40 vehicles at any one time. The website contributes to a high percentage of sales and is linked directly to the Auto Trader website. The business runs on the lines of selling good quality vehicles range from some budget cars to sporty performance as well as vans. The vendor astutely picks his stock to quantify demand, therefore there is a fast turn around of vehicle sales, allowing new stock to hit the forecourt sooner. Each vehicle is prepped and valeted before it is put on sale and any minor repairs are contracted out to the garage next door. Our client offers a good finance package to potential purchasers via a number of finance companies and this is done in store or directly through the website.
