I’m a car dealer… I gave up on the most underrated car far too quickly – don’t make my mistake
A CAR dealer who admitted giving up on an underrated car far too quickly urged others not to repeat his mistake.
James, from Chops Garage, took to his YouTube channel to explain how he sold on a Hyundai i10 to a dealer a bit too quickly.
James, who flip buys from British Car Auctions, Copart and Private Sales, agreed to buy the car due to its excellent condition and low mileage. The motor had just 11,000 miles on the clock.
However James , who was "chipped up" by the customer, and then sold the car on to a higher end dealer.
But when James returned to the office he had received an email from a customer looking for an i10 with around £8,000 to spend.
James realised he had made a mistake in selling on the low mileage car so quickly.
He said: "You're all entitled to call me an absolute idiot because I did trade the i10 out um pretty much straight away."
James then reveals how he referred the customer to the garage he sold the car on to.
The customer took the advice , visited the garage and then put a deposit down on the i10.
James said: "So within sort of like 48 Hours of me doing them a good deal on a really good car I've not only done that for him I've sent the customer and they've sold it so yeah get in the comments and tell me I'm an idiot."
James confessed that he sold the car on so quickly out of "fear" that he would be unable to sell it on for the right price.
Rather than call James an idiot most users praised James for helping the customer and the dealer.
One said: "You did a good deed for the dealer and the customer… which I'm sure you'll benefit from in due course."
