Car Quay Garage Tour : Independent Car Supermarket With Over 250 Cars!
Рет қаралды 27,111
25 күн бұрынIn this video we head to Car Quay in Derbyshire, to meet Jamie Caple, owner and operator. It's really interesting to see how other dealers are doing it differently, or the same, as the case may be!

Very interesting. As a consumer you don't realise all of the issues, when he said he'd make the same on a £20k car as a £10k car, may as well have two 10k, shows that just because they sell higher end cars doesn't mean more profit and the margins are tight. Yours and others vids show me that I wouldn't want to be a car dealer! Keep videos coming!

I bought a 2007 330i from these guys a couple of years ago. A couple of unforeseen issues in the first month but they couldn’t do enough to look after me. Had the car for a year with no issues before getting a company car. Great company and brilliant staff

Interesting how things have changed. When I was in the trade, we fully prepped a car before it was listed. That way it showed its accurate stand in cost. Now they dont prep the car until they have a buyer for it. It hits the margin, but they can always trade it on without spending anything on the car, if it does not sell.

It’s not for me this expanding game. Since Covid I’ve gone the other way and downsized everything from 50+ cars to 30 maximum. Less agro, smaller tax bills more home time with the family!

Decent garage 👌🏼 I brought a c class coupe of them for a very decent price . They couldn't do enough for me . Shame it got smashed into 6 months later why I was parked up , saving 5 pounds parking and got my car wrote off 😂 lesson learnt, ilI never park in a terrace street again.

The one and only Jamie Caple, purchased a car (ex Derby footballers RRS) from him many many years ago (15 ish years), reminded me then as the David Brent of car sales... Driving around in Hummers, sponsoring Boxing and generally loving life. Ups and Downs will occur with any business and glad he is doing well.

Not sure if I understand the " we need to prep the cars better" in other words we'll let the customer be our quality control . Get that older cars will go wrong but I'm not purchasing with the knowledge I'll have the inconvenience of returning it in 30 days
@ShiftingMetal 23 күн бұрын
No, you don't understand. He means prepping them before they are listed for sale vs prepping them once they've taken a deposit. The end result is the same but it would be cheaper and more convenient to prep them before they are ever available to sell.

A couple of things......yes cars that are 10k now were 6.5k cars pre lockdown. The cars are the same quality it's just everyone has got bastard greedy. And just to let Jamie know.....i got an 09 plate Fiesta last week for my daughter to learn in for 500 quid......well actually 498.20 after i took the seats out for a deep clean. I'll try and sell the piece of shit for 1500 after she has ragged the life out of it...just to join the other greedy feckers. 500 pound cars are there if you go find them, then again i live on a different planet to this guy he is flying!

@bmwman1981 22 күн бұрын
A 500 pound car once a dealer has had to prepare it warranty it will have to retail at 1500 pounds then the person buying it will want it to be absolutely perfect like new and won’t understand why the dealer won’t warranty something on a car that’s sold out for 1500 pound also most 500 pound cars are sheds
