salt 1 Posted September 30, 2020 Thanks David, Matt, Casper, and all those above. I've cut the margins low and manual fiesta has civic hybrid have now both gone. I will however say I won't be buying another civic hybrid, their clientele have expectations that differ to reality! And appreciate the advice regarding the fiesta, although it sold quick it was due to the owners/history/colour combo that did it and the phone didn't exactly ring off the hook (2 calls and one person came to view and bought it). Space is an issue as I have off road parking for four cars, hence the query around the tax (I've read the 500m rule and would abide and none of the cars have any signs stating they are for sale). I do live next door to a church, so may approach them for renting a couple of parking spaces though... This life is a world apart to what I was doing in the past, and I can now first hand appreciate the effort, time, skill and knowledge that goes into it. Not to mention the public facing elements! All a learning experience and my thanks to you all again! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will come to you , dont panic , just have to imagine every day is a school day I've been selling for best part or 50 yrs Salt and its always fun in my head , Customers change but their questions and expectations don't , Just learn to tell the truth and be firm , Don't let them rip your heart out , because they will have a go , no morals in the buying public , most rude set of people on earth , but you will learn the retorts that shoot them down , I do actually get off on dealing with the public though , one big competition and I don't lose Stick at it you will be fine 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony911 79 Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) Help needed on this usually never tax a car in trade but need to tax 1 and its only £10 for year will pay it in full, but only need to use car for a few days. What would need to be done after use of the car? Not bothered about any refund as its cheap. Do we keep it taxed then when selling to a punter do we re tax it in their name with new keeper section as thats what we will be using or cancel the tax we put on? Thanks in advance Edited October 28, 2020 by Tony911 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
