10th February 2014
The inaugural daytime dealer direct sale event on Tuesday 4th February 2014 at 1.30pm was a major success with many dealer group vendors and independent motor retailers noting favourable feedback as detailed below:
Roy Wilson Car Sales ~ 'the future of vehicle auctions with fully valeted vehicles, mechanical health checks, cars presented under new canopy and total transparency. Sold every car at the sale so will be back next event without any doubt' Roy Wilson, Owner.
Ballyrobert Vauxhall ~ 'solid performance with excellent attendance particularly online. The volume of Irish buyers is unbelievable with many vehicles being exported out of Northern Ireland' Brett Patterson, Sales Manager.
Ralph Patterson Cars ~ 'sold every car on the day with good financial return. I have been buying and selling cars for years across the UK and have been surprised by the result!' Simon Patterson, Owner.
Trust Ford ~ 'the team pulled up trees to get this sale across the line and we achieved a good performance for both retail and budget vehicles. The business is a real success story!' David Cole, Trust Ford National Disposals.
John Mulholland Motors ~ '100% conversion, dry cars, well cleaned, say no more!' Philip Armour, Used Sales Manager.
Richard Smith, Car Auction Manager stated 'we are on target for a record month in February 2014 so please keep supporting us. The introduction of the canopy has real made a difference and we are leading the way in Northern Ireland selling more cars every week than ever before, long may it continue!'.
