i know these are only rumours at this stage, but if this is true you have to wonder what is going on at CC?

Been keeping an eye on their pre-owned stock list myself, doesn't update very often, but just getting a feel for what their prices are like. Have noticed in the last few days that most of the Midlands stock is now being listed under South.

The stock levels of used cars has been reducing at both locations recently, and yes I notice they are now showing only 5 cars, not including the ones shown as sold at the Midlands site.

Is mic not around to tell us whats going on?

I suspect Mic is being sensible and declining to comment!!

Of course he stands to get more future trade at AA too!!

Seriously though i do wonder if CC have thought this through, the more things that make it harder to buy are just extra excuses people will come up with to procrastinate and therefore not buy.

I like to think i am a good and loyal CC customer, but even i can't be bothered to get in my car and drive all the way from the midlands to Crawley to discuss buying a new car.

Also if they even bothered picking up the phone at the Crawley Showroom it might encourage buyers who might be on the edge of a decision, sadly they don't seem to bother, when calling them to get a price for a trade in on my R500, i called three times during a normal weekday, only to get the answerphone each time.

I know serious buyers would keep ringing, but thats a big turn off for me!!
