Auction buying mistakes that you made good money from...
It's me replied to Nick M.K.'s topic in General Dealer Chat
other side of the coin ,i bought a vectra and got it back, went through it found it needed a clutch discs pads all round part exhaust system and various body faults i cut my losses and weighed it in but kept the battery oh and i took the cat off as they were worth plenty at the time other big loss was a reno auto never bought another reno auto since which is a shame but having had plenty of dodgy ones in renault 5's and clios i saw the light -
have you put it to sleep and woke it up yet?

if its a non starter i cant imagine anyone would want the thing

Why not register it here on gb plates then offer it for sale on ebay so expats in france/spain might pay well for it to take with them

thanks Umesh duly noted for future

i tried specialising in autos many years ago,i just couldnt find the stock i suggest you go through say local ebay adverts autotrader adverts etc and see what sells well ie do you live near council or million pound houses where 108 's for poppy might be popular,if council then purrgot 207 is an ideal car for the man of budget but wants a looker

cant get in the boot how do we know there isnt a body in there then

best deals dont sell jack (unless you own tescos ) viewings by people wishing to purchase maketh the sale so location market price options etc would decree what you sell where theres a chap on here bungs them on the sodden earth at the front of his garage and does ok ,uses the the reverse of the latest utility bill isused to script his carefully ochestrated latest bargain on offer take it or leave it upselling techniques thing is the nearest train station is invernes and he has one bus a week and the next nearest car seller is 35 miles away but they do give free coffee to any mug walking in oh and he likes mercs

hi Mikey 360 it depends on what stock you sell it was as twinged on if you do first car stuff then it can be very good all the way from pre xmas till early jan however this m,arket changes all the time and last xmas was rubbish for me but this year might be better more importantly make sure if you can to buy your stock before xmas for the following month because every man and his boy gets the xmas blues and think they can sell cars for a living so come january they all go down the block and everything turns to telephone numbers

if you treat them with respect if they deserve it it pays back nicely make your bids clear remember once they know you they know how your body language bids go whilst you are being discreet then often they will knock the car down to you or often they would work in the background to get the provisional bid passed for you this obviously was when i used to live in these places i guess they all drink very posh coffee and dont mix with the hoi pilloi anymore?

it used to be all the cars from the finance section i used to avoid,my reasoning being if they cant make payments then they sure as heck aint maintaining them i remember buying an asta estate that had plants growing from all corners inside,it had been used as a skip collection service motto always check cars before nodding glad you have pulled yourself outa the hole nearly though
