How Much Profit I Made in My First Month as a Used Car Dealer

[@nigelbond4056]

I work in a completely different industry but the principles are similar. It doesn’t need to be purely about margin, throughput is the key route to success. I’m seriously impressed at how you’ve grown your business Matt, moreover the ethical way you trade. Your success is well deserved 👏

[@HighPeakAutos]

Thank you. All the best

[@steveshaw6560]

Congrats on the 8 years, good to see the empire expanding, demonstrates there really is no substitute for simple hard graft👍👍

The way you treated the people is what got you so far, is like you do good, you find good, thumb up 👍

[@andersnielsen6044]

Your last words about taking the profit away from the "stock" is the best advice. I have always told other entrepreneurs about how crucial that is. I started out in 2002 (24 years old) as a farm-gardener you know huge loan etc.. But was able to get a decent margin off of it from the market-sale I did and still do, I think I have made 30-40% profit from the turnover every single year since then. But all the profit has gone to other businesses and investments, so I today have a wide range of individual businesses like a plant-nursery for professionals only with hedge, bush and trees. An online gift-card shop, an online building-material shop(gravel, sand, soil etc), local produced watches and interior-design things, an online biofuel business and a property-investment business as well, and of course just like you I am also running an education/course business. But it all runs and are funded thru' the main business that brings the cash-flow. And do you know what - I also started out with moped and later car-trading and a mail order company with tyres, alloy wheels and such stuff like ski boxes etc.. it all came from that, I started at 16 :D

Hi Matt.I am in Ireland. I have been self employed in the car sales buisness for the last 23 years. I found you hit a few solid key points there in this video. Reassuring to hear,especially the one about being a bit harder with people.

[@davidmehlhorn726]

Being in Ireland myself, I think car dealers here could learn a lot from Matt, eg service the cars before you sell them, fix any damage to them before you sell them, provide proper after sales care etc. Car dealers in Ireland are a disgrace, shoddy cars being sold for sky high prices and lousy after sales service.

[@murphyebass7837]

@@davidmehlhorn726couldn’t agree more with this. Veeeeerry unregulated here.

[@JMc.D]

@@davidmehlhorn726I think it would be more fair to say ‘some’ car dealers rather than all. I sold cars in main dealers for 4 years. I was honest, made sure my cars went out right and people got good value for their trade ins. It didn’t matter though because everyone thought I was a crook, doing them out of money etc. the final straw for me was someone saying during covid ‘now ye can actually wear masks when ye are robbing people’. Applied for jobs in pharmaceutical plants, now work less hours, get paid more, get benefits like heathcare, pension etc. have 4 days off every 4 days. What a wind up selling for a main dealer was.

[@michealhaskell7258]

I have always wondered how you legally drive different cars around ? Do you arrange 'blanket' insurance to cover you in any car? Also what about car tax?

[@JMc.D]

@@michealhaskell7258 a trade policy covers you to drive any car, usually with a value limit. The car needs to be taxed and MOT’d like any other. Although I’m sure the police would give you some grace with the tax if you’ve just bought it into stock etc.

[@NotRubensDad]

20 years ago I had some fun selling cars. Acquired a rusty but low miles Metro out of someone's garage who wanted the space, so if I made car disappear I got it for free. Jumped it and drove it home, tidied it up underneath and flogged it with no MOT for £80 a few days later. From the same person (!) I bought an M-reg Escort saloon, in very nice shape, full history with long MOT but not running well that they couldn't sell for £500, so I offered £300 and they took it. I bet it was a disintegrating CAT, had it changed for £200, problem solved, ran it for 3 months then moved it on for £900. Those were the days, so many decent, simple cars to play around with.

[@danecowan678]

When you get it sold, I would immediately get on the hunt for something else. As Matt said, get the money spinning round and round as much as possible. That’s my biggest fail, I like having the money back nevermind the profit and I use it for other things and bills etc. In my eyes the only way to get ahead is to ‘grow the pot’

[@TheVintageApplianceEmporium]

You've just explained, by accident, why I've owned 55 cars since 2002 - because they used to be cheap!! I remember buying them on a whim back in the 2000s; like a Citroen AX for £100, a Clio for £400 a trio of Jaguar XJs for less than a grand each. I couldn't do that today. Well I could but it would be silly and a lot more expensive! I'm 45 now not 25 and I've other things to spend my cash on. Those cars you used to see by the side of the road for £500. Like a 1988 Ford Escort XR3i Cabriolet for £750! Wish I'd never sold that. Or the BMW 740i for £900! Jeez this brings back some memories!

[@Sam-gw5pl]

Hey Matt, I started in the trade when I was 18 and now nearly 60!, mostly working in main dealers selling new and used cars and vans, until weekends got too much with a young family so started a car and van leasing company 22 years ago, I still miss the cut and thrust of selling used cars, but not the unrealistic expectations of customers spending a grand or two but expecting it to perform like a new car 10 to 20 times more money. I feel your pain when you talk about having to refund whining customers for trivial and expected faults. Love the channel mate keep up the good work 👍

Not planning to sell cars for living soon but i learned some things: - 90% of the cars need a new set of number plates - doesn’t matter how worst it’s, it will buff out - never give a Halfords gift card as a present to someone 😂

[@NomadJRG]

2015 was the year I just started getting into cars. Having purchased a Rover 75 CDT for commuting I became hooked to AutoTrader. Used to love how many cars you could get for £1500 back then. The prices on used cars today are just insane compared to then. I do think the super cheap finance artificially dropped the prices pre-2020 though. I remember my mate getting a PCP on a brand new MK7 Golf R for well under £300, an F82 M4 was only another £100 or so a month.

The other one was a 1965 Etype Jaguar series 1 FHC 4.2 Litre which I kept for 13 years. When I sold it I added up all my invoices that a saved in my ring binder (Matt would be proud of me again) and, together with the purchase price, I found I had made a profit of…….£100.

Well done Matt - an arduous journey I am sure but it has paid off and your reputation is intact. Knowing the market, targeting a customer base and diversifying will help - your social media/KZbin promotion is excellent and it creates that aura of professionalism and trust. I have been in the business for years (modern cars, classics and motorhomes of a certain budget) and keep learning, but a well prepared, genuine and good value vehicle will sell if there is demand. As you know, customers will often return or generate business based on a recommendation if they can see a good business and sales team beyond the banter. We have to deal with tightening legislation I know but honesty and a good warranty are worth the investment. Good luck for the future.

Genuinely fascinating video, Matt. Loved the look back. 👍

[@RandomYTStuff]

Regarding refunds / seller warranty for cars that require repairs after selling, I believe one way to deal with it is to standardize having a qualified mechanic or an on-site car-inspection service (40-70€) check the vehicles and provide a full list of potential issues & things to do within X time/kms traveled, so that the Buyer knows exactly what he's buying and there is no miscommunication and add that cost to every car sold (instead of expecting the Buyer to do this, do this yourself, add the cost to the price - also get better quotes for many inspections - and make sure the client is informed) Problem is Sellers don't tell the Buyers all that is wrong or could be wrong or require attention, the Buyer thinks he got a car that doesn't immediately need anything, this being a recipe for bad experiences.

From buying the car until you sell it you should avoid using third party to get the cars ready for sale.All the profits other businesses make from your cars ,make them your profits,but not only from your own cars but from customers cars as well. Try selling things aside from just the vehicle itself. Sell services and other things that can generate some extra income alongside the car's sale. 😊 ... and ... not to forget the most important 😂 Don't overspend!
