Rob is joined again by supercar dealer Carl Hartley. Carl reveals the luxury car industry's biggest scams, manufacturer manipulation, and insider secrets. From exposing dealership malpractices to sharing his controversial views on electric cars and the Jaguar rebrand disaster, Carl holds nothing back. He also talks about how he sold 14 cars in one day, shares the story behind his viral police meme, and explains why he'll never sell a Lotus!
Carl Hartley REVEALS:
- Why the electric car revolution is "the biggest scam in the car industry," with Carl explaining why the 2030 target is unrealistic and why infrastructure will never support it.
- Why manufacturers are increasingly trying to cut out grey market dealers by pricing cars higher initially, changing the industry dynamics.
- How some dealerships abuse sale-or-return arrangements, secretly using client cars and covering up accidents.
- That car insurance is essentially a cartel, forcing owners into unfair arrangements and penalising them for others' mistakes.
- How prestigious brands like Ferrari maintain their exclusivity through deliberate customer selection and strict control measures.
- Why limited editions aren't always what they seem, manufacturers often create artificial scarcity through marketing rather than genuine rarity.
BEST MOMENTS
"I had three of the most deadly cars in the world - the Carrera GT, the F40, and the P1. This car drives like you've smacked its kids and shagged its wife."
"When you look pro rata, cars have gone up a disgusting amount in what, one new model. Range Rover is the best example in the world. They've literally gone up 70 percent from one model to another."
"Look at all the racing drivers that have had motorsport success in Jaguars and the great cars. Steve McQueen used to own Jaguars. The coolest person to ever walk the earth. And now look what they've done."
"Money's hard enough to earn and sometimes it's not fun. So when you want to spend it, you want to have fun spending it."
"I get more sceptical of someone who walks in with their Dolce Gabbana suit on and their shiny shoes than someone who just walks in dressed casual."
