    I’ve bought and sold cars since 1990 and kinda got into classics 8 years ago from the 70’s 80’s and 90’s basically stuff I liked .
    Started with mk2 fiestas escorts Orion’s sierras granadas and fell into transits which was where the money rolled in .
    Always wanted a Cosworth and this paid for it all and then a nice gaff

      I'm a sole trader too. Are you making sales?
      My experience is that auction prices are not low enough and selling them is a struggle. Maybe people don't trust sole traders and would rather buy from a dealership?

      @@fjaff hi mate, honestly bca copart an the others have gone soo bad BCA way over priced same as buying from dealer, copart the cars are simply not how they are advertised your 95% likely to come across a fault or something do that sort with the car and then you just take huge losses & I think the best thing right now genuinely is finding cheap cars on Facebook sounds crazy but I think that’s the best bet from independent private sellers, way more room for negotiation, and even if you find damaged ones through Facebook more than likely to know that the faults are, have a more better chance of seeing the car & as long as you have good source for parts and mechanics & can make the right investments

    On the part exchange front or when you are considering buying for cash it could be worth using an appraisal form that asks all the questions which could be important to you later as this way there is less chance of missing something important. Thank you.

    • @cardealerpro
      @cardealerpro  Год назад +1

      Just do them yourself, Lawgistics go some good stationary (warranty booklets) you cover the car for 3 months if anything major goes wrong you fix it, if your starting off with only a few cars and depending on what your selling your claims will be minimal.

    For me the money is made when you buy,I don't like being too sailsy either, I sell cars for parts,so slightly different game,I don't like dealer talk in my advertising like that 2995 rubbish as it sounds like your being tricky,on average sell about one a week but I have done 5 in a day I generally make 300 to 1000 for each vehicle no cleaning cars ,no repairs, just sold for breaking.I don't have a yard and have about 6-12 cars at a time ,i sell everything on line,ive started instead of picking up cars i go and buy them but leave them where they are take the pictures advertise straight away,then when i have a breaker or mechanic needs that car i go collect my money and give the key and papers saves shifting them myself.

    Think I’d buy under warranty cars, I’d rather have 40 cars under warrenty than 65 with higher miles and issues and any problems it’s main dealer to fix them, stick to smaller cars with cheaper repairs bills if you do older stuff , F stuff like electric brakes etc etc
    Also I’d have a small selection of vans too , maybe rent some out as a £3k van can make more than a £150k house in rent a month .
    Van hires out at £60 a day so say it’s out 20 days a month that’s £1200 and a £150k house may be £700 a month .
