TODAY Car Dealer Magazine is launching a brand new service to help traders in these tough times.
Used car stocking is a major problem for many dealers – finding the right cars at the right prices can be very difficult.
Not only that, selling cars that you don’t necessarily want to put on your forecourt isn’t easy either.
So our solution is a simple one – it’s called Trader Directory – and will be THE list to come for when you need a part exchange underwritten.
The Trader Directory – which can be found by clicking here – lists active buying traders who want your cars NOW.
The list is published on our hugely popular website with traders listed under each manufacturer they’re interested in.
And select traders’ details will also be reproduced in the printed Car Dealer Magazine every month in an all-new section.
THE BIG IDEA
‘Car Dealer is all about helping the trade and this idea came from our new commercial manager Duncan Chappell who used to work at a main Mercedes dealership,’ explained editor James Baggott.
‘He was often tasked with finding a price for a part exchange being offered as part of a deal and would have to thumb through hundreds of pages of price guides to find a trader willing to buy.
‘This online and magazine directory aims to cut that process down to one easy step – either on our website or in the magazine, helping put dealers in touch with traders.’
Knowing that times are tough for the motor trade we’ve also pitched the price of inclusion extremely low:
A listing in the ONLINE directory for 6 months is £29.99
A listing in BOTH the magazine and online directories for 6 months is £39.99
If you’d like to be included you can submit your details on our website now and your advert will be live in 24 hours! And if you opt for the magazine listing too it will be included in the next available issue.
‘We also plan to produce a booklet of all traders in the not too distant future, so register your interest early to avoid missing out,’ added James.
