Between 2006 and 2009 2.2 diesels are economical and refined people can't get enough of them up here.

Yeah civics can carry a few stone chips but most switched on civic buyers expert it (we’ve found)

 Cars you can’t get enough of...that the rest of the trade don’t want.I think they are the best.I was talking to an old pro trader recently and he does a lot of Insignias.( 14 plate under £6k) he is also into subprime chucky and these are apparently ideal.I said you must get a lot of torcher with those aswell as awfull sub prime punters.....His response was classic....’.well if you want to make money in this job,you have to swim upstream ‘.

I used to do well with Xsara Picasso’s, always flew out within days.  Shame they’re getting to old to bother with now though

Are you selling them slightly rough?

I remember them 3-4 years old with 30-40k miles and the bonnets peppered with chips. 

Must have been tue angle of the bonnet or the quality of the paint.

Honda civic front ends are notorious for being "chippy"

Past glories...Fastest sellers,most profitable and least comebacks,going back a long time,I can think of a lot of ordinary stuff great sellers which most of you will have never heard of.To give you an idea,in the mid 90’s we were knocking out 3/4 year old  ex police Peugeot 309 diesel patrol cars for £3250.Does not sound much,except we were buying them for £2k,doing 30 per month and 75% of them were attracting prime  full chucky with  £500 commission.......However,by far the best seller I can recall,no body believes me.....Reliant Regal 3 wheelers,they were gold dust,attracted queues of punters with motor cycle licences who kept failing their driving test but were qualified to drive 3 wheelers..!

When I first opened my pitch in 2003 - I noticed a Reliant 3 wheeler going through my local auction and tried to buy it as an attention grabbing POS - I didn't but mainly because I couldn't afford it - can't remember how much it made but it was a lot.

I agree,what about older 3 dr Rav’s and Vitara’s,you can get top money for them and they appear to be getting dearer.

Hi Grant

I agree they do sell well, however we struggle to extract a profit after they have been prepped. They all seem to want 3 bottom arms, discs and pads all round (plus at least one frozen caliper), an oil leak and EML/ESP/ABS light ..... etc... 

Customers usually request that they have had their second timing belt? 

If we had 50, i don't think we could get them all prepped in a month.

However our local Eurocarparts wishes we had more.

Mazda 3 on a 06 - 12 plate. No idea why but they just sell like hotcakes around here. 

Cars I can't get enough of...retailable part exchanges. Don't care what it is if it's the right money.

Had a few Clio’s but never done well with them. Some dealers rave about them others don’t. Always seam to fetch top money at the block around here but not for me.

They sell really well but I struggle to make a decent profit out of them by the time you have put through an M.O.T and prepped them.

Here in rural Norfolk, i sell either small economical cars or a few 4 wheel drives.

Nissan X-Trail 2.2 DCi fly off the front. I buy direct from a Nissan main agent and do well from Notes and Micras.

French diesels are still my favourite.

Back in the day, I'd walk 500 miles and 500 more to buy a Renault Espace and did very well on MG ZR's. I'd imagine it I went back through my stock book I've probably bought more ZR's than anything else. Huge shame the new ones look now look a 7 pinter, when your sober.
