How long is a piece of string ???

Recommended Posts

As the title says !

I know there are a lot of variable's to take in account but was thinking of what a trader can realistically earn per year,say with a stock of 7 most of the time un all under the 3 grand mark

small yard, port a cabin set up ???

Easiest way is to work out roughly how long it takes you to turn your stock.

So lets say you price your cars keenly and on average it takes you 4 weeks to shift a car. You will be selling on average 7 cars a month.

Lets say a hopeful average £500 profit per car so £3500 per month gross.

Minus expenses and Vat and tax you would probably be netting no more than £1500 per month so around £18000 a year.

Realistically it could be more like half this amount so not much more than minimum wage !

£3500 a month  will work out about £40,000 ish a year, so you won't have to register to pay vat.

Free Max Branning... Bobby did it.

I think you'll find that VAT registration is based upon turnover rather than GP old boy.

why bother ? do you want to sit there all day with your bum on the old calor heater?,non fun that ,i would want to be doing something else if that was the case,sends you mad this job you know,anyway must trot its injection time...................nurse

how much is a small yard and 7 spaces? have you got a good roadside position is it cost viable,?ive found that people are more willing to travel with the help of a satnav these days if you have what they want,have you considered specialising in one make/model ? c1's for example ?
