The problem

Most independent performance dealers tell me the same thing.

“I can't get the right cars, at the right money, fast enough to keep the forecourt turning.”

A specialist showroom floor in daylight, almost entirely empty, with a single sports car parked alone at the far end01

They only made so many

The right ones were always thin on the ground. Each year there are fewer of them.

Nobody rings you

The seller doesn't think of you. He thinks of WeBuyAnyCar.

Someone always pays more

Twenty dealers chase the same car. The margin's gone before you own it.

A stack of finance paperwork and an open chequebook on a desk, a fountain pen resting across them04

The cash isn't bottomless

There's only so much money on the forecourt at once. One wrong car traps the cash for the next three.

Only you can buy

You can't be in two places at once. The business moves at one man's pace.

How it works

Five things get built. You own all of them.

Not software you log into, and not a list of names to ring. A way of buying that lives inside your business, built round your forecourt and the cars you actually stock. The other four come with it.

How it works

The Forecourt Filling Formula

Sellers coming to you, instead of you going hunting.

  • Your own inbound seller funnel
  • An outbound sweep of the open market
  • Reactivation of the customers you already have

The Pole-Position Seller-Pursuit System

Every seller worked within minutes, and chased until he answers, without you.

  • First contact in minutes, day or night
  • Follow-up that keeps going
  • Every channel watched at once

The Dealer's Sixth Sense Superpower

One check you run on every car before you commit your money.

  • Your buy box, and what to check
  • Valuation and history in one lookup
  • A walk-away price before you bid

The Hands-Off Handover Blueprint

Your whole way of buying, out of your head and into a playbook, with a second buyer trained to run it.

  • The buying manual: what, and how
  • A second buyer, trained on it

The Smart-Spend Scoreboard

Every car you buy, what it cost, and which channel brought it. Live.

  • Cost per car, by channel
  • The profit in each car
  • Updated live, no spreadsheet

Before you ask

The questions you're already asking.

Someone with a car that matches the buying spec you signed at the start: make, model, money, mileage, condition. They clear six logged checks before they reach you, so whether one counts is never my judgement call or yours. If one doesn't match, you send it back within 48 hours and you don't pay for it.

Your buying spec, set honestly — what you'd actually put on your forecourt, not what you'd like to. Then the calls. I get sellers coming to you; I don't buy the car for you. You still pick the phone up, you still turn up, and you still treat a bloke selling his pride and joy like it matters. Do that badly and no system on earth saves you.

It's yours. It's built inside your business and it stays there. Leave whenever you like on 14 days' notice, and your accounts and your data stay with you.

Everything that's ever been sold to you was about selling cars. eBay ads, Auto Trader packages, somebody's agency. When did anyone last sell you something for buying them? That's not you picking badly — the whole category points at the wrong end of your business. This one is aimed at the buying and nothing else. That's the entire business. I don't do the other end at all.

Tell me how you buy. I'll tell you straight.

Forty-five minutes on your forecourt. If it fits, I'll tell you exactly what I'd build. If it doesn't, I'll tell you that instead.
