| Farnell Bradford & Guiseley - What's up? |
|
Popped in this morning and strangely they have hardly any used cars on the pitch, virtually no D3's at all just a few FFRR and RRS.
Looks a bit like they could be going down 
Hope not as I have had great service in the past. 2020 BMW X1 18d XDrive X-Line Auto

Yep, sign of the times.
Heard that another Yorkshire dealership was in bother.
This is even rolling out to parts suppliers - many have gone bust.
For example, I needed a new wheel bearing but there are none available and not due til 21st March.
All because a supplier had gone under.

There are only 2 Automatic D3's under £15k on the LR used website and one is a base model 
Seems as though used cars are in short supply, could be good news for anyone wanting to sell as it seems prices are rising as demand outstrips supply. 2020 BMW X1 18d XDrive X-Line Auto

A dealer freind of mine says decent used 1-3yo LR's are like hen's teeth, and as the fuel prices came down demand shot up, he reckons over 20% in 'real' used prices in last 4 months.
He does have a 56 60k silver TDV6 S for £16k...... Craig

Was in Guiseley branch today and it seemed fairly busy. 'Pre-owned' stock seems to change on a regular basis with 2 transporters off loading this morning. D3's and RRS on display (last time I was there mainly FL2's) and also had 2 G4 D3's in from this weeks auction (08 and 57 plate) and a G4 RRS tagged at £38K.
Assume they must be doing something right.

Just to relay any fears, there is a countrywide shortage of stock at all Land Rover dealers due to the very busy end to 2008 and even busier start to 2009. Farnell have just purchased over 120 used cars which have now filled the forecourts at both sites. Farnell are owned by the Coperative Group so are very very stable. Keep Smiling

Quote from the Sales Manager at Farnell?
Good to hear that things are OK.
Bought my D3 from Farnell Guiseley. Great Dealership.
Still waiting for my Divi though! I don't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member...........
