Halfpenny 114 Posted February 25, 2020 Obviously it all depends where you want to position your business. I think most independent dealers, as they become established and work from 'proper' premises would find retailing sub-£1k cars too much of a liability for the return involved.

There’s always been cheap cars to deal with, what’s changed is customers expectations? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Consumer law and the internet... When I started out in the late '70's you basically sold it and if you even gave a receipt you'd write 'sold as seen, tried and tested' or some such nonsense. If the customer came back (not many did) you might have a bit of an arguement, maybe wave the two-foot breaker bar at them. You'd hear no more. Nowadays customers have the CRA and will write bad reviews from here to kingdom come. They'll also turn up waving printouts from internet forums etc .... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
