No f***ing chance. I know some lads make a few quid buying at the door but I can’t be arsed because half of the private man (if they’re not plastic traders) are absolute lying bastards.
I survive on Dealer Auction, a few from the block (less & less every year) & a smattering of p/xs. My best cars are generally my p/xs because the locals are greedy & short-sighted & they haven’t got the sense to throw 4 tyres, 4 discs & pads, a valet, an MOT & if necessary a clutch at a car.
