Cars that scream Estate Agent?

[classicyanktanks]

Just for fun and as we all love Estate agents. Im thinking:

Mini for City shiny suited Estate agent - Big Graphics a must.
Land rover discovery for Country Estate Agent - Tweed suited, probably failed stock broker
Golf R for "urban" agent - Fit blonde girl with low cut top

Diesel Insignia, terrible estate agent.
BMW 318d, slightly better estate agent.
BMW 330d, run, he's ripped off far too many people.

I think so little of estate agents I couldn't even come up with a stereotype for them.

[AppleJuice]

FIAT 500 - for those who can't afford a Mini; again graphics are a must and like a Golf R, usually driven by a 20-something blonde in a blouse with one button too many undone and YSL specs.

[Agent XXX]

One agent who covers the Sandbanks area of Poole ponces around in his Continental GTC complete with perma-orange tan

[kcalculates]

Around here it appears to be:
- Bogo spec VAG or Asian super mini hatchback for cheap agents and new starters
- BMW M3/4, Audi RS6 for Leasing & letting agents
- Golf 2.0 TDI, Audi A3 TDI or generic car for the country, suburb sales agents
- BMW X5 petrol, Land Rover Disco, Jag or A6 for the larger country sales agents

[culpz]

My A4 probably fits that stereotype. I certainly feel like an estate agent when driving it. Roll an March/April when i can be rid of the thing!

[Agent XXX]

oh, Pretty sure FIAT 500s have overtaken BINIs as the Estate Agent car of choice in Brighton now.

Put in an offer on a house this morning, it's closing in 3 minutes.

The estate agent turned up in an Hyundai i20. An absolutely filthy one at that.

The blonde in Specs or the i20?

How would you describe this?

I've never seen a woman driving a Golf R - not sure why

This is a local estate agents car which also appears in every listing parked outside the featured house. He was a bit of a tool to me on the phone when I was looking to buy a few years ago - I think it may be to do with having to drive that

My mate has an estate agents and he goes around in his X6 he’s 34

What do estate agents actually do?

Worthless creatures.

[Ninja59]

It depends on if they have a company vehicle. Our estate agents that our sellers are using have a C1 with a private plate. C1/Fiesta and Mini seem common around here.

Flipside I have seen some estate agents that force them to drive their own car.

Some are, some aren't.

Our village agent is very, very good - gives a lot to the community and sells a lot of houses very quickly for a reasonable commission. Often they sell without advertising as they manage a tight list for specific streets, and charge a lower commission when they don't need to advertise.

[jamei303]

They seem to use A1s around here, I suppose if they were driving Kias or something people would think they were kinda cheap and nasty and so wouldn't be prepared to buy any of the houses they advertise.
