Pay your bills & you won’t get a visit from the bailiffs. That’s nothing to do with car dealing, that’s to do with how you run your life.

My advice. Avoid dealing with the public and you are on to a winner!!

My ideal pitch would be BCA, charge retail money, constant supply, don't need to prep them and virtually zero comebacks, closed at weekends........

....... the one on Eastenders run by Max Branning. Because it runs itself

It's all a learning curve Stephen. Don't get down, just get better because the money's in the buying. We recently looked at photos of the stuff we had in stock when we first began under four years ago and bar a Panda and a couple of generic bits we haven't had any of them in stock again since. We must have been an auctioneers dream rolling up looking to buy 25 cars in a month and hoovering up all the rubbish that had been going through each week unsold...we were as green as the grass!

diesels are dead, nobodys any spare money, and cars are too reliable

Try a different agent?

Horses for courses I think. My cheapest car at £5,350 I haven’t opened the door on in 35 days and I sold a £10k merc Estate in 2 days last week plus another £10k merc in 22 days earlier this year. There’s a market for £500 bangers and £500k super cars and everything in between.

We use it for colour changes of wheels and its fairly easy to do, and if you make a mistake just peel it off. Use proper platidip though and not the cheaper versions as we've tried some and it can be a nightmare. Like anything like this its all in the perpetration and it won't cover gouges so sand them away or it makes them stand out even more and use there thinners. When you 1st apply it will look awful and you'll be thinking what have you do but let it dry and it all kind of settles, also if you can get the wheels off the car and do it on a flat surface its easier. We buy it from here www.matt-pack.co.uk some wheels and a grille we did ourselves......
