  1. They might be hoping , just say your not prepared to drop that money with under these conditions and the fact they are new to you as you are to them . I buy cars and pay for them as i do normally . Do you wish to sell them to me , is the question isn't it
  2. That reminds me of a time i had a tin of grease boiling on the cooker top with a Bike chain in it Solid grease heats up , the smell was the problem too , but this grease had just melted when the wife pulls up . Wasn't happy bunny
  3. Hope you said bye bye mate , happy Christmas
  4. Qualifying means its previously been owned by a Company who claimed the VAT when purchased and paid it back when it was sold . This means that if the next trader eg us were selling it to another VAT business we could produce a VAT invoice and the new customer could then claim it back . If we sold the car to a private customer it returns as a Margin car and the VAT element is inside the profit Non qualifying means its a margin vat sales there is no such thing as a16.5% VAT rate at all Your confusing 16.5 % as VAT within the workings out regards the eg £100 including vat , Divided buy 1.2 = £166 as the Margin VAT , its never worked out as 16.5 % as i know it . EG if at end of quarter your gross profit is £40,000 then the MARGIN VAT = 40,000 divide 1.2 = £6,667 VAT , Leaving you £33,333 profit . But you can claim all paid VAT back in that quarter too so it will be different every time
  5. Its 20% VAT pal not 16.5% If your working on margin and want to see what VAT on is say a £1000 profit its 1000 divided buy 1.2 = £833.33 so the VAT element is £166.67 on the deal , £166.70 goes to the VAT man , but all the service parts eg tyres , oil , plugs , and advertising VAT can be claimed back , eg you spent £300 +vat on parts advertising and service you would claim back the £60 from those invoices , This is offset every quarter VAT return so the VAT element on that deal would be £106.70 to pay . You can of course claim some fuel VAT , Stationary VAT , Tools VAT , Cleaning products VAT , in fact anything your business needs you claim back the VAT . You never win out but it does make you collect EVERY receipt to claim it back Always made wonder that , If your doing 86k its not worth the hassle is it +1 /\
  6. That's an annoying answer isn't it . My retort to that is , that long ago I've forgotten but the question was " what are you expecting back for it ? " If they mention near retail ,i end it like i did the customer above , Just a simple NO
  7. Cant see how that works , just mist up surely , as Frank says old stuff yes , newer stuff cant see that working
  8. So this customer rings me today , hello i want to sell my car back to you . I bought the car in June from you but I'm working from home now so don't need a car anymore . Ok tell me the reg and mileage and I'll look up the car . She wants £9,000 back top and bottom of it all . Only fair as I've haven't used it she goes I asked her " what do i do with that then as there is no profit for me in that deal . " She said , sell it again of course , but there's nothing in the car for me i repeat , What do you mean she says you would get £9,000 for it how much do you want . My God the world is going mad , I knew about PROFIT when I was 10 yrs old . Have you tried We buy any car , , yes but they offer lots less money , DUH dopey prat I just said no .
  9. What Iv'e always believed that is , they can see it before they drive off , which means they have been to YOUR premises. Not you sending them the car as thats distance selling . If the other was true then anyone can say its distance selling because i live 40 miles away and you sent it when i hadn't seen it . +1 there Umesh
  10. if they have the order form or invoice they are committing to click and collect , so can travel yes . had one guy last lock stopped by police from leaving Cardiff and he shown the copper the order form and he said that's fine sir . If click and collect is legal its obvious they have to travel , i just confirm they have the invoice to prove it
  11. Send them an invoice via email , so they have a document to show if stopped , that makes it very very legal and takes the guess work out of it . Makes customers feel all cuddly and safe to travel .
