    I think you are charged VAT  on the  imported car  as per any other goods entering the country, However you are not charging VAT  out on the sale of the car,

     

    Am i right in thinking if there is a VAT element on the  invoice you receive then you can happily claim this VAT back in the  way you would do on a commercial vehicle, 

     

    Vat is only paid on the Invoice price and the  sale price,  You certainly do not pay VAT twice as you think you do.

    autotrader retail check is one

     

    wbac is another

     

    there are various ways of valuing a car online without trade guides, I dont  use guides my self i just work backwards from retail, less some prep, then some margin and that tells me what i can pay for somethin.

    You need to have  varied methods of attaining stock, Rather than just auctions, There is no secret stock that you dont know about, It is just sometimes 8  hours in front of a laptop to purchase 1 or 2

    I have had 2 now on a  debit card where card machine company have just gone straight in and snatched my money, On a debit card too, where there has been a customer moaning complaining about ( them buying a used car but expecting a new car) obviously its not the case we prep and MOT everything but its annoying that telling lies and altering the facts  can have this consequences like this. 

    I might add this was  chip and pin, customer present

     

    so beware rule of 75 on debit cards

    anything in demand and  worth buying  is still way over guide,  all the usual stuff that is in high demand

    only things below guide i can see  is the stuff that does not shift quick and the trade do not usually like

     

    this is the  new  normal.

    I do exactly the same, The  pictures are your shop window, its the only thing your customers have to see what it is you have, I say it is worth the 20-30 min to presnt your  car in its very best way possible

     

    I have to upload them from the phone, Then crop them and  re size them as you do, It just the way it is

    yes you the garage  MUST do this on all your stock cars, If ever that 8 year old 80000 mile car you sold them goes on the ramp for the recall you can bet they will also do the compulsory "free" 120 point health check while they are doing the recall and  its a certainty you will get the call on the  car you sold them  with all these faults

    I agree, The concocted story of how you became the seller is immaterial, You sell a car the full weight of the  consumer laws out there are full and squarely on your shoulders, So while your mate is sunning them selves in the Caribbean with the money from the sale you are having to deal with the issues ( if or when they happen) on the car they asked you as a mate to sell for them
