Jon 2 Posted April 24, 2017 Hi all , I have recently set up an car sales business and have recently registered with all the dealer pix sites but are these the best places to get good quality fairly priced stock from ? Where do you get stock from? ps I am trying to do this correctly , and have registered with companies house, trade insurance etc etc and I am starting to wonder if genuine dealers can actually make a good living from this ? Many thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mojo121 229 Posted April 24, 2017 You've set up a business but you don't know where to get stock from?! Auctions are overpriced and oversubscribed. eBay is full of rubbish. Private ads are most likely hiding a problem. Other dealers selling ''cheap px's'' are probably hiding a problem and if they're not why aren't they making money on them? Facebook is junk. How many will you stock and do you want to sell a month, what market are you aiming at and what's a good living to you? I'll tell you if I think it's possible.

justina3 518 Posted April 25, 2017 If there was one single answer to that then everyone would be running a car sales....wait a moment they are in all honestly thats an almost impossible question to answer as there are a zillion different variables, but good luck in your search.

In the end I sold to a lady who wanted it to put her wheelchair in and wanted high driving position, she didn't care it was 4wd or steam driven. Never mind @Mojo121 a nice trip out to the block for some overpriced metal should cheer you up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
