As a small home trader, I use one of my stock cars to avoid the cost of running my own. I just put the cars in trade on the V5, and use the regular details off the V5 to tax it. Never had a problem doing this

I’ve done this on loads of cars. I don’t understand why it would be a problem. Its taxed, it’s insured, it has mot. And most of the time it has oil in the engine

I think that was the issue that it maybe didn't extend extend to Sdp unsure if he had and never heard the eventually outcome,in the end just remember them saying at the time like you though it did confuse me at the time .maybe he hadn't placed it on mid or something your guess is as good mine . I think you can get insurance that's motor trade only road risk etc minnus sdp.someone correct me if I'm wrong ? ive did it before to taxed it whilst in the trade used to do it regular back in the disc days if I was using something for 8 weeks or so

Some of us run LTD company and if the company owns it and you are running it then technically its a company car, The 5 year old MB that was 50k when new and you purchased for 12K is actually a very expensive company car

Had mine taxed & in trade for the last 15 months

Ive done it before , you wont get the tax back if you sell it though , so maybe monthly is best then just stop the direct debit when you sell it . Use the V5c2 and you can use the same number when you sell it .

Now that's sods law isn't it .

And if the privateers werent there, who would buy the cars sent in with banners such as 'dealer p/ex' or 'trade to trade'? Trotting up gets it closer to the sale price, its a brave auctioneer who trots past reserve. Can you imagine how long it would take for a car to go through if they didnt get it started with a couple of bids off the wall?

I put this on another thread, so apologies for repeating myself. I just had a 3 month trial with ebay/ gumtree, worked out at approx £120 per sale Autotrader approx £90 per sale Thats all that matter to me £ per sale. Ebay/gumtree brings a lot of enquiries but the quality of them is poor.

Of course,everything above board,I am sure everyone agrees that never happens ........

exactly dont do mens work if you cant hack it auctions should be trade only

We can all do ‘ over reserve ‘past glories but how much did you bung the auctioneer ?

Its very rare they make the same amount or more at the next sale.

Advertising is only expensive when it does not work, speculate to accumulate.

We joke the h beam in the hall must be a billionaire the amount of cars it buys .

pay what you want dont pay what you dont want...........however price rises by auctioneer is not the issue, its happened like FOREVER

Whilst it is annoying and we all want a bargain, I don't see how it can be illiegal. No one is forcing you to bid or buy, just set your maximum - some you win, some you don't but nobody has actually robbed you. In other words, if you were prepared to pay £10k and got trotted to £10k, what's the problem. If it was trotted to £10.5k it either doesn't sell or it went to someone who wanted to spend £10.5k in which case you still wouldn't have won.
