NITM 3 Posted January 16, 2019 Well i've been a long time lurker and decided to finally sign up! Just a quick intro.. Been trading full time from home for nearly 3 years, my stock-list is usually only 7-8 cars ranging from £2000 - £6000 and i do a bit of vehicle recovery also. I'm from Northern Ireland but i buy 95% of my stock in England/Scotland. So thats it really, just a friendly Hi for now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nick M.K. 574 Posted January 16, 2019 Hi, welcome, thanks for the intro. If one of my NI customers (they are all around Ballymena) needs recovery I will keep you in mind. If that’s near your area of course! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trade vet 704 Posted January 17, 2019 Hi NITM welcome to the banter. I thought NI should stay in the EU then everything would be directed via NI and it would become a booming economy.My friend from NI says the DUP would never entertain that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grant8064 219 Posted January 17, 2019 Welcome NITM, I'll probably show my ignorance asking but why do you buy most stock from over the pond? Is it just because more is available or is stuff cheap enough to make shipping it worthwhile compared to cars at home? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EPV 631 Posted January 17, 2019 Cars in Ireland generally speaking are more expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Grant Only reason is because of availability, they dont work out any cheaper tbh as the transport kills it depending where abouts its bought from, but it saves running to our local auctions here, you's only think BCA etc is bad lol. 1 hour ago, sparky said: Welcome.
