  • Episode Twodoubletutu

    I listen to many podcasts, but I am almost as religious with the CarDealer as I am with the Archers (I never ever miss an episode of the everyday story of country folk). On a few occasions, I have been moved to send you a comment, generally an adulation. Most recently, you were late back from your jollies and I was wondering if you were okay or being held by customs with

    a non-compliant Jimney Cricket. But never quite get there, why do you think that is JJ? Well, super heinouser than enforced ... more

  • Stories are good

    Used to be better, spends most of the podcast talking to the guest these days, my advise would be fast forward to halfway or the last 1/3 if you want to get to the stories. If they spent more time on stories it would be a great podcast.

  • Awkward at times

    The thing that saves the show is the industry guests that come on. However so often they don’t get a chance to speak and are left to quietly sit in the background while the hosts rabbit on. I really want to hear from them to be honest. A great opportunity missed.

    I feel for Beck. She’s been tirelessly doing her best to host the show but is clearly uncomfortable behind the mic. I actually feel uncomfortable when she speaks to a guest. You may want to look at shaking things up.

    Finally the sound... more

Peter Waddell in court, Polestar boss hails 'renaissance of the dealers', and latest on finance redress scheme – with Mike Askew, episode 244
Q: When it comes to buying new cars online, purely without seeing a dealer, what's your take on it? Would you do it?
No, I don't think I would. I believe there is still a significant value in physical dealers and the knowledgeable interaction they provide.

Cars that just do their job without stressing the user tend to stand out. The Skoda Enyaq and Cupra Born were mentioned as well-designed vehicles that provide a good user experience.
Autotrader CEO Nathan Coe on why package prices are going up again – episode 240
Q: What changes have you made off the back of the feedback that you've had from those groups?

Autotrader CEO Nathan Coe on why package prices are going up again – episode 240

Geely launches in UK, Robert Forrester hits out at 'Motability tax', and how quickly should a dealer answer the phone? - with Nic Thomas, episode 228
Q: Nick, you've worked for Ford, you've worked for Nissan. What's it like working for a Chinese company compared to them?
It's more about the challenge of working in a startup, I think. Chang'an is a 160-year-old company, but in the UK, we're a startup, which requires a lot of effort and long hours.
