Valuation and market analysis tools?

[Jas 1]

Hey all, I hope you are well.

I was just wondering if there were any recommendations for valuation and possible analytics tools, or am I best sticking to cap prices and doing the legwork and researching each and every car myself?

I really liked the autotrader dealer portal when it was demonstrated to me, however the £873+VAT per month for 10 slots means it's something I'll have to consider later down the line.

Thanks!

Plus 1 , agree with Blenheim 

basics of the job , specially now .

CAP is wrong , Glasses are Wrong , Autotrader is wrong 50/50 % 

Feeling in the fingers right now  and profit back is the only way , research the stock prices add 10% to 25%  and get your wallet out .

Knowing the job has never been as crucial as it is right now . 

hesitate and burn , dip you leg in and burn , either way its crucial you look at the prices . 

Good luck

Thank you for the advice guys.

At least we are doing the right thing by going by our guts, but the prices on almost everything that we have taken a good while to research the market, vehicle and track as potential stock seems to sail into "Yeah, good luck with that" pricing due to the warped market, but I'm fully aware that I'm preaching to the choir on that front and that we might just need to put on big boy pants and go a little bit stronger to secure the cars we want, as opposed to waiting for a good deal as we've had a degree of beginners luck on that front.

I'm a statistics junky so having "verified" valuations and market data as per the autotrader package appealed at lot, but I'll stick to compiling my own data for the meantime

 

Thanks again :-)
