hello mrs pierce i have your car in the bodyshop now and they had to remove the bumper cover to successfully do the two scrapes,unfortunately they hase found accident damage in the chassis tower,i am upset as you are and intend to take it up with the dealer from whom i purchased it from,of course i will give you a full refund of your deposit and obviously i am very sorry,i will endeavor to locate another one as similar if you wish,shall i proceed with your refund at this stage? thanks dave

if you have taken a deposit agreed terms signed an order then you have to stand on it, I know it really is bad knowing you have another more profitable offer it seems but i would question why on a car that is sold your sales process got so far down the line that you got into negotiation on a sold car ??? its just me but i am principled and i would have to do right thing and honor the original deal

Sell privately and do hand over in Asda carpark and wave it good bye

Coastal, Your circumstances sound very similar to mine. I made the leap a year ago, and to be honest I haven't regretted it. It has been tough, don't get me wrong, but you have a good chance of succeeding as you have a background in the industry. £60k sounds a good starting pot to me. Start small and build it up. Keep your overheads as low as possible. Wish you all the very best., And I agree with this 100%

yes you wont get stuck with anything at those margins............................... moving from dipping your to into it to making a real living from it you really need to be taking £1000 net from them sales or else you will not be able to sustain a business, I would state thats the aim £1000 i am not saying i do that on every occasion, You and i have similar backgrounds and all i can say is that you really think you know the business and the industry and you think you know what your doing and you very probably make your dealership a decent profit but when its your business and its your cash funds you have a whole heap of learning and new experiences still to go, Its a whole new world when you are literally on your own, Not saying you cant or shouldn't do it just that it will be a real jolt to your system as to how much you really dont know, I am into year 6 on my own now and its still a growing process learning every day and week
