What if theres some unexpected expenses, mats, lights, paintwork you didn't think was so bad, warrantys, it all adds up, advert fees. in my opinion £1000 is the lowest you should go. I do agree with you probably about £1000 is as low as you can go in an ideal world im just saying I've know friends and business associates to sell with £800-900 profit not every day but maybe on a car when you realise say you maybe paid to much for to start which does happen on the odd occasion or wont shift not every car also bear in mind as as a home trader overheads etc wont be as high i remember speaking to an associate who works for and is well contacted to a large car dealing group and he told me they will sometimes do it just to keep stock turning over As i said i think your aim between £1200-£1500 but some times it cant always happen and some sort of profit is always better than a loss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably not gonna make much. Average Profit per unit is where it’s at. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
