Hi Grant. When you say cheap what price bracket are you talking about. Reason I ask I've never sold exec stock before under the £5k mark. How low will people go price wise for an x or s?

Thanks for all your comments guys. Much appreciate yours Mojo. Haven't given too much thought to the whole package thing. Mantra is must have leather and comprehensive if not full service history. Preferably Jag main dealer or specialist. Dealership I worked at were very hard ball on selling the stock on forecourt as opposed to what clients would like. Not too bad inspecting cars. Dealership was also pretty lethal inspecting trade ins and giving very little for them. Have access to a couple of body shops who do excellent work for little money. Local Jag specialist for mechanical repairs etc at reasonable rates. Regarding Jag buyers being choosy, have you found that's the case for buyers of low money sub £5k stock as well as buyers parting with decent money?

Hi Mojo, which models do you find go well. I'm aiming at X Type, S Type, XF and XK8 to start with.

Hi Noacross, Thanks for your reply. Brief intro, spent many years in Financial services as an IFA followed by stint providing sub prime finance to car dealers throughout North Wales and the North West. Built up a successful area when the company went into administration. Then worked selling cars for a large Independent dealer. Cars ranged from a few grand to £40,000 plus. Reasons for selecting Jags? Where I live is saturated with small used car dealers. The ones selling exec stock concentrate on the usual German stock. Don't see a huge amount of Jags. I love Jags and would like to specialise in them. Aim to sell five or six quality cars a month from home. Careful stock selection and will travel anywhere in the country for the right stock at the right price. I may be well off beam but it feels right.

Thanks for your comments Dave. I intend to be very selective on cars I buy. Not really concerned about body, more concerned about mechanical issues within six months of the sale sale. All cars will have a fresh mot and pdi however no matter how diligent you are problem/s can arise.

Hi guys. Just started a new used car dealership working from home. Will mainly be selling Jags in the price range £2500-00 - £20,000-00. Would very much appreciate advice on the type of warranty I should be offering on the older lower price cars i.e X Types and S Types, and also the length of warranty.
