Welcome back to another episode of Redgate Lodge | Dealership Diary, taking you behind the scenes of one of the North Eastâs leading independent used car dealerships.
đ PORSCHE TAYCAN 4S SPORT TURISMO: 10 MINUTE TEST DRIVE Scott gets behind the wheel of a stunning Porsche Taycan Performance Plus 93.4kWh 4S Sport Turismo, producing 571 PS with four-wheel drive. We take it out for our regular 10 Minute Test Drive to see what the all-electric Porsche is really like to drive and whether cars like the Taycan now represent serious value on the used-car market. ⥠Porsche Taycan 4S Sport Turismo ⥠93.4kWh Performance Plus battery ⥠571 PS ⥠Four-wheel drive ⥠Porsche performance with EV technology đ View the Porsche Taycan on the Redgate Lodge website: https://www.redgatelodge.co.uk/vehicl…
đ§ A ROLLS-ROYCE ARRIVES AT THE BODYSHOP It isn’t every day a Rolls-Royce arrives through the doors, but a Rolls-Royce Ghost has arrived at Redgate Lodge Bodyshop for some TLC, and we take a look behind the scenes at the work carried out by our car repair team. đĽ BMW M340d xDRIVE: NEW ARRIVAL Scott catches up with Paul Souter on the forecourt to look at some of the latest cars arriving into stock, including a fantastic BMW M340d xDrive. đ View the BMW M340d: https://www.redgatelodge.co.uk/vehicl…
đŹ OUR BIG CAR AUCTION BUYING MISTAKE Not every car we buy goes according to plan. This week we discuss an Audi A1 purchased through Manheim Car Auctions, which arrived with a major fault that wasn’t highlighted through the auction’s NAMA grading process. đ See the Audi A1: https://www.redgatelodge.co.uk/vehicl…
đˇ WHEN PREPARATION COSTS GET EXPENSIVE We also discuss another auction purchase, this time a SEAT Arona 1.6 TDI Xcellence DSG, which ended up carrying a much higher preparation bill than we’d anticipated. đ See the SEAT Arona: https://www.redgatelodge.co.uk/vehicl…
đ FOUR MORE CARS ARRIVE AT OUR PREPARATION CENTRE Scott and Steven head over to the Redgate Lodge Vehicle Preparation Centre to check in another four newly purchased cars. We show you what we’re looking for when cars first arrive and some of the work that goes on behind the scenes before a vehicle is ready to be offered for sale.
đ¤ A CUSTOMER FOUND HIS NEXT CAR THROUGH CHATGPT! We recently sold a car to a customer from South Manchester and naturally asked him how he’d found Redgate Lodge, considering we’re based in Newcastle upon Tyne. His answer? Chat GPT. Scott and Anthony sit down with Chat GPT to discuss how AI is changing the way customers search for used cars and dealerships â and what this could mean for the motor trade in the future. Could AI and ChatGPT become an increasingly important way customers find their next used car?
