They only made so many
The right ones were always thin on the ground. Each year there are fewer of them.
For independent dealers still doing their own buying
Your own 90-Day Forecourt Filling Formula, written for you and run alongside you.
The problem
“I can't get the right cars, at the right money, fast enough to keep the forecourt turning.”
The right ones were always thin on the ground. Each year there are fewer of them.
The seller doesn't think of you. He thinks of WeBuyAnyCar.
Twenty dealers chase the same car. The margin's gone before you own it.
There's only so much money on the forecourt at once. One wrong car traps the cash for the next three.
You can't be in two places at once. The business moves at one man's pace.
How it works
Not software you log into, and not a list of names to ring. A way of buying that lives inside your business, built round your forecourt and the cars you actually stock. The other four come with it.
How it works
Sellers coming to you, instead of you going hunting.
Every seller worked within minutes, and chased until he answers, without you.
One check you run on every car before you commit your money.
Your whole way of buying, out of your head and into a playbook, with a second buyer trained to run it.
Every car you buy, what it cost, and which channel brought it. Live.



Before you ask
Someone with a car that matches the buying spec you signed at the start — make, model, money, mileage, condition. They clear six logged checks before they reach you, so whether one counts is never my judgement call or yours. Anything that fails those checks doesn't count.
Your buying spec, set honestly — what you'd actually put on your forecourt, not what you'd like to. Then the calls. I get sellers coming to you; I don't buy the car for you. You still pick the phone up, you still turn up, and you still treat a bloke selling his pride and joy like it matters. Do that badly and no system on earth saves you.
It's yours. It's built inside your business and it stays there. That holds whether it delivers or falls short — if it falls short you get every penny back and you keep the system anyway. There's no version of this where you finish with nothing.
Everything that's ever been sold to you was about selling cars. eBay ads, Auto Trader packages, somebody's agency. When did anyone last sell you something for buying them? That's not you picking badly — the whole category points at the wrong end of your business. This one is aimed at the buying and nothing else. That's the entire business. I don't do the other end at all.
Forty-five minutes on your forecourt. If it fits, I'll tell you exactly what I'd build. If it doesn't, I'll tell you that instead.
45 minutes, free, and you will leave with a straight answer either way.
