In this episode of our Selling Supercars series we go behind the scenes at Alexanders Prestige, a luxury and supercar dealer based in Boroughbridge, North Yorkshire. Join Car Dealer editor James Baggott as he looks around the stunning showroom, and chats to co-founder Andrew North about what makes his business stand out from the crowd.
From the luxury stock that, at the time of filming, included a Maserati MC20, Ferrari 488 Pista, Porsche 911 Turbo and lots of luxury 4x4s, to the meticulous attention to detail the team place on the cars they prepare to the showroom they're presented in, it's not hard to see why this is a successful business.
This episode was filmed around a year ago when supercar prices were still high and the market buoyant. Yes, it's taken us that long to edit it...

I’ve visited the guys at Alexander a couple of times and I have to say the whole team are just as described by Andrew. I haven’t yet bought a car from there but I would have no hesitation in doing so…

Great informative vid. Over the years of buying cars only half have been a good experience and like your interviewee said it should always be a good experience. I’ve got a Porsche Boxster 981 and I feel privileged and lucky to own and drive it, and I wonder if his customers feel the same way

I would definitely buy a car from this company. Very professional and they dont push sales they just provide the knowledge in helping in the buying process and they do everything in house perfect

Great video and Andrew and Alexander are true to their word. As a finance broker based locally to them I have worked on a few cars for customers and they have been noting but fantastic with myself and customer.

A great series and insightful to hear their different philosophies and attitudes. The saying that people buy from people they are comfortable with is absolutely true: there are some high end car dealers I definitely would not trust.

I probably will never have the money to go to Alexander’s but always take look every few weeks at the stock in some of these high end dealers. It’s great to dream and well just enjoy looking at Cars all be it online. Must emit Alexander’s has one of the cleanest user friendly sites I go to. Some are a bit of a dogs dinner and then some just nail it. Seen him on See through glass with Sam and it just comes over as a genuine dealer. Probably exactly what you would want if your lottery ticket ever came up. It must be scary times right now with prices crashing on some Cars. Car appreciation unless super rare is a thing of the past unless you really want the GT3RS 😂 Obviously Tom H is still the GOAT.

there is lots of money out there- the skill is to bring it in your direction by doing everything that the customer can possibly imagine = success : )

Those ratios of 71m to 1.5m pretax are just horrible. So much working capital tied up at some risk for a very small return…must be love because as a business it does not make much sense.

£71m revenue with only £1.5m profit. Not much profit tbh.

@Rafz90 3 ай бұрын

Really? Do you know how business works? That’s amazing profit. Look at their overheads, it’s massive. A lot of their revenue is due to the value of their products, they are very expensive cars. If they sell somewhere around 25 cars a month at approx 8k gross margin on each car they probably net around 4-5k off each sale. Mr Taxman then wants his share every quarter the b*stards!!
