    I usually stock around 100 cars between my two companies. January and February tend to be quite busy for me and I honesly can say that I have sold 68 from the beginning of the month.

    I can buy good stock if I work harder and travel a lot further than my local auctions.

    My repair and reconditioning expenses are now beginning to take their toll on my profits. Here’s funny thing. I’ve sucked up the Autotrader over the years, I’ve sucked up the BCA charges over the years ( I amcurrently a black card customer). How much more do I have to take until everything else pushes me over...:CRA, FCA Rules, pensions, council rules and regulations, credit card payment restrictions, etc, etc.

    Ok. Update.

    The dealer has come back to be. Experian should have had it registered, they are going to claim from them.

    My customer has had the car inspected by the bodyshop who are doing the insurance work. They say the cat d repair isn’t great. They don’t want the car.

    My question is, the dealer is taking about paying me what I paid plus the expenses. In my opinion they should pay me back some of the profit I made on the car , at the end of the day I think I need to give him some compensation to keep my my reputation  plus I think I need some kind compensation for the stress and arse ache.

    input would be gratefully received.

    Compensation society. Compensation for your stress?? You’re in the wrong       business buddy if that’s your thinking.

    Not famous but prominent.A few months ago I was asked to sell a friends Yaris.He is a front bencher in the Lords.Its one owner 05 100k,loads of history,good driver and a few months ticket.A main dealer had valued it at £200 without bothering to look at it.I thought it would tidy up and do £800-£1000,one titled owner and all that.....Wrong again,too risky our guys traded it on and he got £300 back.How things have changed CRA and all that.

    Too risky to sell a Toyota Yaris? They’re usually bullet proof. I think you missed out out on that one.
