Introduction and V5 query

[yestraders 0]

Hello all,

 

I've been dealing in used cars for the last 5 years in Scotland on a private basis.

I have now incorporated a Ltd company and have bought trade insurance and have just sent off my application for trade plates.

 

Before I was doing around 30 cars a year not really putting much in to it. I've now changed around y lifestyle and looking to put a lot more time in to it.

 

I have a query on V5 docs though.

When I acted as a member of public I used to register the car in my name then wait for the V% to come through before I could sell it.

How does it work with trade if I buy a car, how do I get the V5 quickly to shift it on within the week if needed?

 

I mainly do cars at around £800-£2000 purchase price and look to make around £500-£800 per car.

 

Also looking for tips on supply. I've bought at auction/private mainly before.

Had a look at dealer auction and Autotrade mail. Whats the pros/cons?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Matt
