Hi all
Been following the forum and watching a lot of content on youtube.. I am also a newbie to the car dealing.. Probably wrong time to enter with prices so high and limited stock.
Any help and advise will be recommended but ive taken the following steps some are quite obvious some are not so much
- Trade insurance in place
- Have a pair of trade plates
-Setup Facebook/Instagram page
Outsource my body and mechancial work- have agreed 30 day payment terms with a local garage and a discounted labour rate
provide 12 MOT and 3 months warranty on all cars- i self warranty at the moment
Purchasing mainly from auction as buying privately i find it too much hassle but maybe i need to explore the route
Buying criteria is largely below 90k and below 3K- try to look for cars with good SH, Max 3/4 owners but sometimes make exceptions to that rule.
Makes - Audi, Ford, Mini, BMW, VW, Vauxhall -- i stick to these makes as i see them as best sellers on used cars
Looking to setup a website -- but at the moment i not doing 5-10 cars a months so might put that on hold for a bit.
I advertise on AT mainly and Gumtree but find i will only use AT from now on
Any other advise recommendations will be appreciated
