I am not VAT registered as yet. Moving to a new premises later in the year and will be VAT registered. Can I not enquire about this from the VAT man?

I agree largely with everything you say. Can I ask approx how many cars you have in stock? What I would add is that Autotrader is expensive because they have the monopoly. No other company has been able to challenge Autotraders monopoly.

It was bought online at a BCA van sale. Initially it was listed as no VAT which changed to plus VAT. I called prior to the auction and was told they are trying to establish the VAT position but have been advised by the vendor to sell it +VAT. I called after I won the auction and was told they are still trying to find find out from the vendor (ALD AUTOMOTIVE) To answer the question at the point of the hammer going down the vehicle was listed a +VAT. I have a strong feeling that VAT should not have been added. No response to any of my emails from BCA.

Hi Guys, Just joined. Just bought an old Volkswagen T4 Caravelle from BCA and it was being sold with VAT as per the vendors advice. I was told over the phone that their is a good chance that VAT is not applicable and they are trying to establish the position. I contacted them by email once I won the vehicle and my emails were ignored and eventually I was told that if no VAT was to be added they will cancel the sale and re-enter the vehicle. I now have the vehicle here and have emailed to get written confirmation of the VAT position from BCA and I am just being ignored. Any idea what I should do? I have bought many VW Caravelles usually T5s and they dont usually have VAT.

Autotrader is the devil everyone loves to hate but for many its a necessary evil. It is impossible to answer the OPs question as every dealer is different with different stock profiles and regional variations etc. What I do know is that if you use Autotrader you must turnover volume otherwise Autotrader will start eating away at your business.
