  6. Hi In another business I tried this and found that's it's massively time consuming to try and get your garage any where near the top of the google search without spending money on google adwords etc best bet is fscebook I think spreads quickly, I know someone that had over 5k genuine followers/likes he just offered free things to share it for instance win free full valet costs you next to nothing but will get shared quickly and easily and do pics of the fee valet with customer win win and not very much outlay hope this helps
  7. Hi very new to this but put a Nissan navara up for sale that I bought from a trader and my Astra van and decided what ever sold first I'd keep other, 12 plate van not a call navara sold in 24 hours I'm vat registered aswell buy so was buyer so he wasn't bothered
  8. If you sell a car for a client why not buy it at the right price and sell it yourself. Otherwise although your only acting in theory as an agent your liable for all the repairs fault etc Why would anyone pay you to find them a car? If its a top end motor they will buy from main dealers, if its a run about theres loads of pitches around. This this idea is best forgotten. Unless you have millionaire clients
  9. Hi I'm very new also you aren't going to be able to bigger dealers and buy cars, people probably on here will have been doing it for years, so why would they upset them and sell to you? One trader I know that's buying from bigger dealers could spend 50/75K in a day, can you do that? Also he will keep what he wants and rest will be traded again by the end of the day. Autions Good luck with that unless your a mechanic or very knowledgable you will end up getting bid up and paying top fees not what traders pay. Also no doubt there will be issues with the cars
  10. Won't happen government rely far to much on the road tax, fuel tax and offshore taxes for oil to just stop from 2040. Plus there will b another 5/6 useless governments in changing it well before, although I'm sure that hybrid, electric will no doubt their increase sales

  15. loved the Gt Turbo been looking for one of them or a 205 1.9 but prices are now ridiculous for a car that I just wanted to have a bit of fun
  16. I thought my tax was paid monthly, but apparently I paid in full just before new system came In effect. Accountant mentioned this checked in gov site and hadn't been taxed for 4 months rang and held hands up had to pay tax and fine think it was 60 quid but that's as far as it went i know it's slightly different but wouldn't think they would prosecute. Expect a fine and paying the tax sorry to hear about your loss, thoughts with you and family
  17. I've had same issues in retail with Asians around here they seem to like to buy from fellow Asians the amount of time I used to waste measuring and pricing job got daft. Even on a job where they wanted it for 1500 said 1200 and still didn't get it now I let them wander around and do what they want be polite say hi etc but that's it complete waste of time in fairness exactly the same as the Jewish community waste hours of your time then never buy anything. The Jewish community asleays seem to buy from themselves but find neee to waste everyone's time running around pricing jobs etc with no intention to buy a thing from you!
  18. Hi Just picking brains as usual so he should have just put trader plates on and everything would have been ok? Thanks
