Not bad 7 so far for me, but mainly cheapies with lower margins. I've managed to stock up so hoping for a big finish to the month. There's still more than a third of the month left guys with two weekends. But, looking at my stats the last time I sold a car at the weekend was on the 11th March, how weird is that ?........Remember this game is a rollercoaster.

Within the first 30 days, I'm very much of the opinion you sold a car a car with a used battery, so why would you be compensating him with the cost of a new one.... Myself, I would of explained a battery is a consumable, just like tyres and brakes and made a goodwill gesture of a 50% contribution to the cost of a new basic Euro battery. After 30 days, not a chance.

LOL £320, I'm just doing the bit I photo on, not the whole unit

The thing is a guide is just a guide. I'm for Retail Back, simply research comparative motors within 100 miles then work out your margin.

Well I’ve ordered some of this for my unit... Should make the pictures really stand out.... https://www.resincoat.co.uk/en/paints/49-resincoat-hb-epoxy-garage-floor-paint.html

Me too, I just get instantly bored, frustrated and end up breakingthings, plus if I really try to fix something it never goeds back togeather... I simply don't do anything mechanical and leave it to the guys in greasy overalls.. My guys don't have the tool, but they drop it to the tyre place and pick it up, so its worth me investing in a tool to give to them to save time = money.

Agreed....... Now the first thing you do is get rid of those POINTY fecking shoes !!!

Nik, it costs me £20 each time for the local tyre place to remove them... I probably do 5 or more a year.... Plus the waiting around...

Its specifically your choice.

As I said it’s my opinion. So the guy was an idiot, he didn’t cover himself, he didn’t do things right and got caught out. No wonder HMRC threw the book at him.

Theres a huge difference in being a SE sole trader, to being a ltd company. There’s no attraction or benefit in being a limited company if you are a sole trader. IMO

Yes, but us knows nothing of true sale price. It’s fundamentally flawed.

TV. if you are a SE sole trader it makes no sence to me in being LTD. Rules, regulations are endless...... Been there, done it, never again...

I absolutely agree. It’s rare I sell a true bag of shite to the public but there is absolutely nothing wrong or illegal selling an “unroadworthy vehicle” on an “unroadworthy vehicle” SOR invoice. You just do a brutally honest video or written advert.... we’ve been through this numerous times before, BHM is right. Just say the MoT is invalid and hold on to the cert. You will only fall fowl if you don’t protect your ass and sell to a Cretin. Oh and “trade sale” invoices are strictly a no no unless you are selling to the trade with proof and then the advert still has to beccorrect under the SOGA b2b rules. Be warned.

Agreed, then retail back.

A very big LIKE

Do you work for Autotrader ? Can’t find your franchised dealership as McClain autos.. it would be great to see your stock profile. You see, I bet you aren’t selling 12 year old 10+ year old monster mileage bangers, are you ? Because for a ROI the margins are huge.... You see, the premise to you reply IMO is flawed...

£1390

Agreed.

The buyers premium plus the hammer price is your stockbook net cost of the car..... Surecheck & delivery are expences which we pay VAT on........ That's how Ive been doing it for years

5 Sold all diesel.

+1
