This week on the Car Dealer Podcast, head of valuations at Cap HPI Derren Martin helps us decide which stories are the biggest of the week – and who wins the weekly challenge.
It was the week that everything seemed to be happening in Swindon, from its council trying to contact Elon Musk, to a dealer based in the town saying it wouldn’t be offering click-and-collect.
Some things did happen outside of Wiltshire, and luckily Derren was there to share some of his views on those stories of the week too.
To find out what the most important stories to happen this week were and ensure you didn’t miss them, click play on the podcast below or search on Apple or Google Podcasts.
Car Dealer has now published six podcasts and they each follow a similar format – editor in chief James Baggott and I pick our top stories of the week from this website in an effort to out do each other.
Last week an ‘independent adjudicator’ called the shots, but Martin felt James was robbed and offered to come on to the show and help judge.
Fortunately he did far more preparation than us. If you’d like to be our next guest judge on the podcast you can email me.
