HELP tenuk HELP YOU BUY / SELL / TRADE IN YOUR CAR WITH NO HASSLES, NO STRESS AND NO RIP-OFF MERCHANTS!

tenuk, the lifestyle management company that can sort out just about anything that you want, have a great service available to its members for when they are considering selling their car, trading it in or buying a new one. A welcome addition to the company's already booming profile, this service, in one phone call, takes the entire process off your hands, so you can just sit back and relax, and wait for the deal to be done.

The used car market is three times bigger than the new car market, which in May 2002 was 208,669. Considering the cost of an average used car is around £3500, this means that in May alone the market was worth £2,191,024,500! This is big business, and with that comes pirates. Whilst the novice seller may not be able to spot the less-than-honest dealers and traders that are unfortunately quite widespread in this industry, these experienced professionals can.

Selling your car and buying a new one can be one of the most time-consuming, problematic things to do, especially if you are trying to do it privately. Waiting for potential buyers to show up, problems that might arise with payments, bank drafts, bouncing cheques, and so forth can create a lot of tension. This tension can be tripled if the vendor has no previous experience in this market. The biggest fear people have in this situation is being unwittingly ripped-off. So how can one be sure that this will not happen?

Using a company like tenuk to help you is a good start. The company is the only one to offer such an exclusive package to help you buy/sell your car. One of the 'lifestyle managers' at tenuk will collect the details and then pass on the information to the internal expert - in this case the motor supplier manager.

All of the 'supplier managers' at tenuk have years of relevant professional experience in specific fields. The head of the motor department was a MD of an extremely large dealership, and in the motor trade for over 20 years, whilst another headed up the service side of another motor dealership for over 10 years. Both are fully qualified mechanics, too. This means that the member can rest assured that they would be presented with the best possible deal.

The package that tenuk offer its members includes:

o Take the entire process off the seller's hands.
o Discussions with in-house motor specialist on best way to market the vehicle and at what price
o Organising the preparation of the vehicle prior to photographing your advert
o Planning, writing and placing the advert
o Fielding and filtering all calls generated by the advert
o Demonstrations. tenuk has insurance cover in place to enable its representatives to demonstrate your vehicle to any prospective buyer, who may also drive the vehicle under its insurance cover
o Negotiating the best deal on your behalf within previously agreed parameters
o Overseeing the payment to your account and handing the vehicle over on your behalf
o The cost of a six-week inclusion of your advert on the Auto Trader / Bike Trader interactive website
o An HPI check to give independent verification of your vehicle's history
o Sourcing of a replacement car
o The full use of tenuk's network of partnered suppliers
o Exposure to tenuk's special offers
o Inclusion in tenuk's fleet - Green Flag membership (pay as you go)
o Access to tenuk's specialist supplier team for all your needs

Another great aspect of this package is that members can still retain the use of their car throughout the selling process, as it is not sitting on a garage forecourt during this time.

It takes, on average, around 22 hours to successfully prepare, advertise, field calls and to give demonstrations and administer payment and registration. Obviously this is 22 hours that a lot of people just do not have to spare.

As one satisfied member says, "Using the tenuk car packages were really simple - it was one call to Jonathan (supplier manager), who is hugely knowledgeable and I really did not have to worry about the car again. They had it cleaned, showed it to the prospective buyers, and even managed to get me £500 more than I thought I would have done. And then saved me another £500 and three months waiting time on the new car that I bought through them - really efficient and hassle free."

tenuk can also advise members on whether or not it would be more financially beneficial to import a new car from the continent, or to buy one in England. tenuk handles all the administration and organisation required in order to register the vehicle from whichever country it has been imported from.

Of course this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to just how valuable a service tenuk can provide its members. Travel arrangements, home-improvements, house buying and selling, gift ideas, gardening, sorting out theatre tickets, personal shopping… the list is endless. The range of services available is limited only by the member's imagination. But the car service that the company provide is, without doubt, one of the most popular and effective. tenuk employ a team of what's called lifestyle managers. After paying a fee of as little as £50 per month, the LMs handle all the affairs that the members do not have time to sort out themselves, due to heavy workloads or hectic lifestyles.

We could all do with a bit more free time. Let tenuk help you out a little. Not only will they get the job done faster, they are more cost-effective. After all, all of us would delegate if we knew that the results would be better than if we undertook it ourselves.
