Enjoy this episode here: Redgate Lodge | Dealership Diary, your inside look at life at one of the leading North East used car dealers, Redgate Lodge Motor Group in Newcastle upon Tyne!
There’s plenty happening this week as we take you inside the real day-to-day running of Redgate Lodge Motor Group.
We start with a 10-minute test drive in an Audi RS Q3, giving you our thoughts on this seriously quick performance SUV and whether it’s a car we’d recommend buying.
Then it’s over to our Preparation Centre, where we follow six newly arrived used cars through our vehicle processing system. Buying the cars is only the beginning, there’s a huge amount that goes on behind the scenes before a vehicle is ready for sale.
We also sit in on our sales team’s month-end meeting, looking at performance, targets and what’s happening across the dealership, before checking out the new Redgate Lodge forecourt layout and some of the latest cars to arrive into stock.
And this week things get a little more competitive… 🌶️🔥
We visit Solomons Indian Restaurant for the Redgate Stinger Challenge, where Redgate Lodge takes on Stonebridge Motor Company! Dan and Anthony go head to head to find out who can handle the infamous Redgate Stinger. This one gets VERY hot! 😂🌶️
We also feature another 5-star customer review and hear directly from one of our customers about their experience buying from Redgate Lodge.
And, of course, we discuss the incredible depreciation surrounding the Range Rover Sport SV a car that can suffer an eye watering £80,000 loss in value. Is this one of the biggest depreciation hits in the performance SUV market?
