More Information

Units: Unit is a general term used to cover all types of vehicle and machinery, including items such as motorcycles, scooters, cars, trucks, vans, caravans, motorhomes, boats, tractors, ATVs, agricultural equipment, wholegoods and construction equipment.

This same method can also be used to search for other types of units, e.g. Sold units, Demonstrators and so on.

Searching for units in general

  • In the "Search on:", enter anything that you know about the unit or range of units for which you are searching. You can use unit model, registration number or any other criteria you may know about the unit.
  • Click the [Search] button to list units with that criteria.
You can get to the " Add or Edit Units" screen from anywhere that there is a "Unit" Field by pressing <Ctrl+F1>.

Searching for units that are in stock

Go to " Unit Sales Add or Edit Units". To search for units that are In Stock only, click on the [Advanced] button or press <F9>.
