  1. Lawgistcs should be able to advise you on how to proceed legally..
  2. It was already MOT before i brought it from BCA.. My MOT tester very strict if it was MOT myself.
  3. Yes i am new.. But youd expect the rust to be highlighted on the MOT history however it wasnt mentioned anywhere in the recent or in the previous ones. I find buying privately hard work takes up more time at least with BCA or auction houses the cars are there.. i had BMW 3 series coupe which was totally fine.. i am operating at the sub 3K market so its pretty low end stuff..
  4. I brought a Micra 2007 plate full 12 months MoT no advisory. Got it serviced -- The mechanic tells me its soo crusty underneath like its been sat in water. I know they are only essential check the guys do but surely the guys should check for this stuff. I new to trading and only brought from BCA - but looking to go broaden the scope and go Manhiem/Aston Barclay
  5. 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
