Why did you not go to trading standards as well they are not just there for the public. That would then hopefully stop these kind of sales. As you say you had them bang to rights and in my opinion gross misconduct. No matter its a trade sale they knew the faults and should have been advertised with those by law. Wonder what poor trader got lumbered.

James all the best fo the future. But why don't you sell it as a going concern nice pitch with nice stock good reputation?. Worth a try.

Oi!!! GAVIN I am over 60 you young upstart, LOL, No you have not made me angry. I would build houses for our kids where they need them and want them, in the villages they grew up in and on the green belt. I love wind farms and lived by them in Cornwall with no problems. I would also make all farmers have solar panels on their barns. Also I am not afraid of change. I also help the younger generation if I can, however they want to run before they can walk. I like the europeans and hold the Polish in high regard. The europeans have done our service industry the world of good. At least we get served with a smile now and they put your food in front of you pleasantly unlike a young brit who just slams the plate down and grunts. One of the best holidays I ever had was in, WAIT FOR IT, Germany they were most welcoming and really pleased that we had gone for a holiday in their country. However I do believe that the European diktats must and should be held accountable and that they should also be elected. This apple could fall either side of the fence but at the moment the wind is blowing in the direction of out of the garden. Its not all doom and gloom.

I use Autoguard they are reliable and never had issues with them.

I suppose they will all be Flocking to Jamslug for mot.

It's a funny old game. Sold 3 cars this week which I thought had been welded to the forecourt.

Sorry Headmaster, You are correct it is you're and I should have known better. I have written 100 lines today saying you're a brilliant headmaster. However I do wonder how many time Ashley Maddison was searched for today. LOL

Your thinking of Ashley Maddison

open the boot or window daily let air circulate. Keep them closed and you will be selling a big Fur Ball.

Warranty must be a pain in the RS for these cars though even upselling a insured warranty. I know the law states what a reasonable person would expect from a car this age and mileage and there are many reasonable customers out there. However we have all had Mr R Sole purchase from us and he would be a nightmare on one of these. Whilst on subject of warranty why do people trust Kwik Fit more than a garage with time served apprentices. ( Mr R Sole also goes to Kwik Fit ) Mr R Sole has ABS light come on goes into Kwik Fit oh you need 2 ABS Sensors, 2 New discs & Set pads, Rear Brake shoes and 2 Rear wheel cylinders, all told to him & fitted by a 17 year old none time served qualified Mechanic. How does your warranty cover that scenario or how do you protect yourself from this on high mileage cars?. Its no wonder Kwik Fit like Mr R Sole.

To be honest I had forgot about CD auctions and I have purchased from them in past. Personally I found them very proffesional with accurate appraisals, Can not remember at any time having a problem. In fact they must have been one of the first online car auctions out there. No problems collecting vehicles either nice clean premises and helpful staff. Thank you for reminding me of something which I had forgotten. Edward I will be back in touch Tuesday / Wednesday

When does a business need to be VAT registered?A business must register to pay VAT when the value of its taxable supplies exceeds the registration threshold (£82,000 per annum in 2015-16). Please note supplies = sales. Purchases do not come into it. Direct from HMRC So someone selling 40 cars a year at 2K a car would not need to be VAT registered. or combination of cars upto threshold. A dealer selling 30 cars per year at @ 2K and 3 cars @ 8K would require to be vat registered. We all hate paying VAT on repairs and costs then giving VAT Man 1/6th of profit. If someone trades from home, pays all taxes due, maintains vehicle and sell to a high standard I see no problem with them, as majority on here started that way. I did and proud of it. Problem is we have become a nation that must buy everything cheap. Thats why Lidle, Aldi and discount shops have been doing so well and customers expect it everywhere now. We even expect a great deal when we outsource a body repair or specialist engine repair none of us go for the highest price quote we go for reliability and ROI. Someone said earlier about trade only auctions I remember when Manheim did trade only auction weekly and had seperate auction days for Public or trade. Problem is like everything it comes down to cost. Why have all the staff required for a auction another day when you can fit it into the auction days you have. ROI again. However I do have a problem with side of road dealers no warranty and no inspection and sell quick for £200 profit whilst claiming unemployment and do not care if anyones child or family member gets killed in a unsafe car. 1 Guy round here change his trade name 3 times last year. BASICALLY DO IT RIGHT AND SLEEP AT NIGHT. TRADE ONLY FORUMS. THERE IS ONE ALREADY RUNNING. STARTED BY A RESPECTED INDEPENDANT DEALER. When breaking cars you must be registered with DVLA, COUNCIL and POLICE so why cant they run a register along those lines for car dealers, or say we must register with DVLA, Trading Standards & Police and get a registration number issued by those 3 Bodies, that we in turn have to place into our adverts. This would help when dealing with customers proving we are legally trading. That in turn should keep unscrupolous traders out. I have not set out to offend anyone and appologise if my thoughts have done so in any way. OOPS I think thats enough.

When I signed for motors package was up to 100 cars. That was on basic package 10 mile search criteria. So any one with say 30 cars should nail it in my opinion.

According todays invoice £75pw for full tennancy package inc filtering down to all sites not just basic sites. I dont get charged £2 for each car either.

Motors Basic only cover you for 10 mile radius of your Business and on the lower level that does not feed to Parkers, Sun Motors and numerous other sites they are linked with, and press websites. If your package is £260+ a month then you are automatically fed into all other sites. If you are on £100+ a Month then you are not fed into them. Motors will explain if you call them. They dont hide stuff from you and always willing to help a dealer.

I pay the extra £30 per week and have sold cars via Parkers through it. Still half price of AT basic package, getting same amount of calls without AT.

Ok Wheeler Dealer where can we find what you selling trade to trade. Jim

Worst for me, Meriva, Corsa, and always struggle to sell a Focus. Best Clios, Vectra, any BMW, KA never struggle.

Yes you can Max if it concerns you that much mark out a TRADE ONLY AREA and have sign saying Trade Only area, keep all cars you are trading out in that area.

Hi a year on from when this started. Whats your thoughts in todays climate? As I am finding hard going to purchase at Cap or Glass guide prices. Then we have problem with AT telling you that the selling price is £750 below what you paid. Someone must be thousands out of pocket. Must admit I always try to sell at Glass if i can as we are all business to earn a living not just to turn over stock. And I like many others check what similar vehicles in my area are up for sale on AT. Perhaps I should buy off AT and sell on Motors, Or Buy off AT and sell at auction. Food for thought. Jim

I believe if you sell cars for track days and racing the new sale of goods act would not apply. You should contact your local trading standards office or contact Lawgistics.

Please dont get me wrong as I am a fan of DA. But I Thought DA was, "The UK's Largest "Trade Only" Online Auction Offering Over 6,000 Part Exchange / Trade Cars Each Month Exclusively From Franchised Dealers And Groups." Or can we all put our cars on there. As this one not a franhised dealer or group according to theire website.

And Pound to a Penny that want retail on DA to.

Hi Max. No problems I have done this. The only thing is new owner must then tax at post office for 6 months, can not be done online. Jim
