[@chiefrocka8604]

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

[@billylip680]

I live in Portugal so lots of non rusty classics ,I buy and sell cars here for parts but I'm interested in sending older stuff back to uk if your interested

[@ianrobinson9243]

[@MiltonMotors]

Ah man, that Land Rover had me in stitches 🤣. Your content is fkn brilliant.

[@cardealerpro]

Thanks mate

[@pgree6176]

You seem nice and honest which makes business harder probably but best way to be!

[@garyclements2821]

One thing I would do though is blur out bank account details when showing viewers your laptop, just to make sure nobody tries to grab your £

[@bobby5634]

Like how honest you are, top stuff👍

[@cardealerpro]

Cheers mate

[@Williams-rv5yy]

Great informative video You say you have 40 cars advertised on Autotrader. What's the cost for that monthly?

Ford Edge are beautiful cars I'd love one but they keep value high at min rare cars.

[@trevormcintyre4897]

Great video... keep trucking 👍

[@dsummers8191]

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]

We do most of the time, but you know what’s it like when you get busy etc

[@stephenbeattie5259]

Love the content ,did you check the lower crank balance wheel on the mini as they give big problems and sounds like big end knock ,have done 3 in the last year ,worth a look ,keep the videos coming great job

[@cardealerpro]

Thanks mate I'll check that out today

[@evansabove7839]

Great to see you on youtube after enjoying your podcast for ages.

[@cardealerpro]

Thanks mate

[@Motormad9465]

Feel this man’s pain I’ve got 30 myself but and it’s a big but, no stocking loan, get rid of that asap, that way your not in there pocket don’t owe a penny me 🤝🤝

[@cardealerpro]

I love my stocking loan, just need to manage it ok, obviously this one time I didn’t 😂

[@jicarsltd]

Man I really liked this and instantly started watching both parts & I’ve been a sole car trader myself from home and recently have taken some huge Ls, but definitely gave me some good learning curves here !! looking forward to more content

[@cardealerpro]

Thanks mate, we’ll be posting a new vid every Sunday

[@acevibes24]

I’m trying to buy cars from auctions, but I need a traders insurance to get the full logbook and not get the car in my name. Any advice?

[@jicarsltd]

@@acevibes24 - are you buying from bca that’s why ur saying you need the traders?

[@fjaff]

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?

[@jicarsltd]

@@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

Remember to stick with it you will soon pick up new subscribers 1k by christmas 🎄

You have to stay onit 24/7 if you want to make a success remember there is always a way just stay true to your roots

[@Stoff1]

Betty put me onto the channel. Good luck with it, there is no reason why it should blow out and flop like the others that have gone down like a lead balloon.

[@D992]

40% profit on the A1 👀

[@billylip680]

Yes i get you with the white board gets a bit much all in the head

[@cardealerpro]

Big time

[@yeti6011]

Good luck.

[@cardealerpro]

Thanks!

[@washy2701]

That was a refreshing change to the usual guff on KZbin, I have also just started selling from home, what’s your advice with warranties for cars around the £5k mark?

[@cardealerpro]

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.

[@flippingcarsrepairs]

Udt found you and loved every part of your video fingers crossed for you selling the cars by the dead line. Ps ive been to bcm in magaluf wicked club but it was about 20 years ago used to get laser pens and bags 👍👍👍

[@cardealerpro]

That will have been me djing in bcm back then 😂

[@flippingcarsrepairs]

[@jonnydangerous]

Where should i source/buy cars from if I'm just looking to get started from home?

[@cardealerpro]

Trade to trade or part ex gold on Facebook is a good place to start

[@fjaff]

​@@cardealerprowhat's trade to trade? How do you go about it?

[@billylip680]

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.

[@cardealerpro]

That’s a great business model, sounds like your doing well mate

[@fru1t1]

👍👍👍

[@chiefrocka8604]

20 to 30 a month ? I worked at a car dealer with 200 cars that some months only shifted 10 like 3.5 million quids worth of cars an all

[@danhall5761]

Sounds insane, I work for Porsche and did 15 myself last month

[@alanhealey7885]

Hi mate i know you advertise locally for and cars from the family of passed people. How does that advert look like. Many thanks

[@paddyici6629]

get yourself a little shop set up with a car lift in and do all ya repairs in house, as they say, want a job doing properly, do it yourself

[@cardealerpro]

This is exactly what we are on with now! Thanks

Came here as Joe from shifting_metal recommended you. Great content and keep up the great work.

[@chiefrocka8604]

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 . 🥷🏿🇬🇧👍🙏
