    Hi Grant, I'm in exactly the same position as you, but with more like 15 - 25 cars trading from home, logistics is a nightmare. The MOT center, mechanics garage and valeters I use are based on a small industrial estate 5 minutes from my home. I'm constantly back and forth.....anyway a unit came available right next to the garage with 3400ft including office space, I'm completing early in January, its £13000 a year with no rates. However, I'watch?v=X5bmiake4iIm paying nearly £900 a monthly VED car tax payments :) Its gonna make my life so much easier.

    Hi guys. So I'm making the jump over to selling from home to a small warehouse that holds 9-10 cars and has a nice size office, it's on a small, really well maintained indistrial estate with Low over heads of £750 a month all in and I don't need to take any profit as I have another company that pays ok.

    im going to be selling cars valued from £1500 to £5k.

    Everything will be advertised online and all profit will be put straight back into the business. This is a slow burning business for me and really looking forward to it.

    im just curious how all you guys started with how many cars, and where have you got to now?

    any advice is welcome.

    All the best

    Hi, 

    just looking at our first car plot, and would like to offer car finance.

    who are the best for people with decent credit history? Close brothers?

    also I see some people offering guaranteed Car finance? Who should I use for sub prime?

     

    thanks in advance

    So I've seen a 207cc that is immaculate 57 plate ref 2008 - 59k Miles that I can get for £1600  on eBay -

    i paid £1800 for the same car last month at auction and it needed An egr valve and sold for £2500 - 

    the one on eBay I can see if it has any problems before I buy it and sell it for the same price...

    I'm currently wondering why I'm even going to auction at present.

    Hi guys. Been out of the motor trade for about 12 years but have had heavy experiments in the past.

    im finding it extremely difficult sourcing good stock.

    ive seen some lovely vehicles on eBay that I could get cheaper than the advertised price and mark them up.

    whats everyone else's thoughts on this and do you do it?

    ive also seen say for example a Peugeot 207 - 2007 plate with 39k miles go for £400 because it needs a new gear box. I could get this repaired for less than 300, et it serviced and put it up for £2195 and clear lovely profit on it. What are our thoughts on this also?

    All the best, Grant
