Do you mean like BCA after they have charged you £25 for a AA assured inspection which turns out to be badly flawed.

That is exactly why you HPI check the car properly. I mean, lemon says he checked but opted for the cheapest possible option ? it beggars belief you would spend your money on buying a car from scumtree and opt to not protect yourself. A very hard lesson to learn, you’ve opted to be cheap for which you are paying the price.

“Gary isn't a true m9 he tried to touch me in the back of a 1998 Ford escort estate that I had come to view safe to say I won't be returning”

He's got the same number of cars but he's on the billy basic start up package as he begrudges spending a penny. I do pay more, but I get more. He's paying around £1800 for 30 cars and selling 13 cars (give or take) from autotrader per month. His cost to sell is around £138 approximately. Yes - I pay more for 30 cars - £2593 per month for 30 cars, From the autotrader - I sold 22 cars in Feb, January 28 cars, December 19 cars, November 25 cars, October 29 cars, so far in March I'm on 29 cars. Total spend for past 6 months = £15,558, total cars sold as a direct result of AutoTrader in last 6 months - 152. Cost of sale per car = £102 average for last 6 months. and I still think I can do better. My average net profit per car is £769, total net profit from those 152 sales in past 6 months is £120,232 as of today so my dms tells me. He's a bit old school John (neighbour) and see's it just as a massive cost rather than an investment, doesn't really monitor, he's in almost daily though asking me to icontol some of his cars the cheeky bugger, he actually stocks about 50 but says he cant afford to advertise the lot. So short answer is - Yes I'm happy to be paying more because I'm selling more and its actually costing less, its just simple maths. it works for me, speculate to accumulate and all that. I take the emotion out of it, I don't like everything the autotrader does and disagree with many of the new things they've brought out but its by far the best channel of selling cars for me - that's what my facts are telling me regardless of what I personally think how many cars and how much profit made on those sales have you received for your £2m investment Trade Vet?

think its called ......fraud ?

Hi AutoJacob I am struggling to understand.You lie to the finance company and show them a forged receipt.So the finance company goes back to the hirer and who tells them he sold it to the trade who would settle it off.They then establish that you are infact a trader and you have retailed it.Would it not be right to say,you are then in ‘deep shit’.

Qualify them before striking the deal as to how are they going to pay. Very, very few will have no other means of paying. If you can't get alternative payment type out of them, or sell them finance (should be cheaper than their credit card deal) or do as suggested above, then I will reluctantly take it AT THE ASKING PRICE. It'll only be once in a blue moon so I'd rather sell the car than lose it.
