I've mainly brought them private with a few here and there from the auctions, I must admit though, I'm finding it hard to source good cars from the private ads, cheap enough to make a profit on. When I see a motor and think "that's cheap" I literally need it to be another good chunk cheaper to stand a chance of making any money!

It was going to be yes. Ok, thanks for the heads up, best change it. Thanks for the reply Metcars, my thinking was that I could take out the hassle of getting the cars ready for retailing by just moving them quickly to forecourt dealers.

Morning all, I have been putting away a bit of money to set myself up in the motor trade. At first I will be trading in the 2-5k market with intentions of eventually getting into higher end performance and prestige motor cars. My passion has always been cars, and as such I'm a bit of a brand snob with no interest in a 1.6 Ford Focus LX, more Audi S3, BMW M Sport touring, Porsche Boxster etc...... I like buying cars that I enjoy rather than what is going to make me the quickest buck. My question is - I have just brought a Golf GT TDi 140 off a private seller and hopefully can make a nice little profit on it (I have no problems waiting for a sale as I am still working my other job as security) but am wondering about quick turnarounds selling to other traders? I have been recently talking to a friend who works at the local (mainly used Audi) second hand dealers and he says good stock is hard to come by, would selling cars to local traders for stock be viable? Just to clarify, I have no forecourt, just a nice little piece of land for viewings and to store a few carefully selected vehicles. I am just thinking that if I can speed up the process of selling and in return supplying good stock to dealers then its win/win Thanks for your replies, advice will be taken on board and appreciated Steve
