PX help, what to do?

Trade 2 Trade Facebook is also great for that sort of thing

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?

Not just customer expectations. 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 ....
