WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO BUY CARS??

[@roystonvehicles9129]

Totally right about warranties and saying yes, best to be reluctant I've found.

Love this kind of content, genuine people! Currently trying to get started in the trade myself at 22 yrs old, motor trade insurance has thrown a spanner in the works as im too young so having to leach off my dads auction accounts, quick Q shall i avoid BCA? and why. Thanks for being open and honest with us

[@davidclarke9767]

You should only buy a car when it's absolutely necessary as it's a minefield, with so many potential problems. I should think if you want to be a dealer be prepared for a life of hassle and occasionally worry.

Certainly not one to watch when the kids are around 😂 Definitely a kids in bed wind down sort of viewing 😅

Another great video guys, thanks a lot. Re. pitches and units, do you often or have you ever heard of local councils refusing planning permission to change use of a unit from something like storage/light industrial, to Sui Generis vehicle sales? I've heard it's not really a concern, and I see lots of dealers operating from such warehouse type units?

[@cardealerpro]

No I haven’t but certain councils can have different rules, I’d just get in touch with your local planning officer the ones up here are really helpful

@@cardealerpro funnily enough I did speak to North Yorkshire and I may as well have been from Mars, they seemed to have no idea! I think possibly begging forgiveness if questioned may be the way to go! Thanks as always for your input, much appreciated! 👍

The old saying it aren’t what you know it’s who you know

[@cardealerpro]

Yep

I’ve recently started a car dealer business but only part time just now. I’ve bought all my cars privately so far but I have good mechanical knowledge so know what to look out for. I will probably use auctions in the future as well though. I’ve been looking for premises as well, I want a unit so I can work on the cars but there really isn’t a lot around here that comes up and they’re not cheap. I would take a pitch but having a unit to do some of the work myself keeps costs down till I get going and can do it full time. There’s a pitch up for let near me just now but it’s £45k for the year which is way out my budget right now. I’d say it fits about 30-40 cars and has a workshop with a ramp as well.

[@cardealerpro]

That does sound a lot for 40 cars ideally I think 25k - 30k is when you need to be. One will come up, just need to be patient

[@propertydevelopmentlive1223]

Buying from larger businesses /company vehicles. That way you can buy from the same people over and over again. If the companies are big enough. You get a wide range of stoke.

[@daniellongnose]

now lads,always enjoy your videos,quick question are warranties really worth the paper they're written on?? ive always found theyre a complete waste of time 😢

[@fezz4u]

I think they’re not too bad, just make sure you read the small print, the warranty doesn’t cover everything but if you get a platinum warranty wise package they do cover a lot of parts!

[@daniellongnose]

thanks david 😊

[@user-ol3uk2rr7b]

Can i ask why you charge a 199 plus vat admin fee if arranging your own finance which seems extortionate for a bit of paperwork.

[@cardealerpro]

finance company’s such as cf247 charge us a fee of £199 plus vat which is ridiculous considering we get no commission as well, so we have to add that to the invoice to cover them costs

[@bluesky4733]

Can’t believe you havnt got more subs . Excellent content down to earth like vision prestige cmon people sub to these channels instead of watching fake idiots like Archie Hamilton

[@cardealerpro]

Haha cheers mate! 10k by Christmas we’re hoping!

[@leedstown]

Hello lads I don't think you said at the beginning how much the rent is where you are now, you said when you first started it was 300 a month at your first pitch

[@cardealerpro]

20k a year now so big jump!

[@leedstown]

@@cardealerpro I think that's reasonable £384 a week is that just rent or do you have business rates on top

[@yvonfem]

Buy through the auctions or part chops off big main dealers although they seem to have there own outlets these days .but way back when i was a trader that was the way. No intrernet then .traders are spoilt for choice these days .you can have a unit anywere these days as long as the punters can park

[@tripled8807]

You never answered how much your current rent is lads

[@cardealerpro]

around 20k a year!

[@tripled8807]

@cardealerpro plus business rates lads, or are rates included? Plus your leccy I guess(or is everything in for 20k?)

[@funnymoneys8328]

U swear too much tho. I hav to be careful around my kids and watch after hours

[@cardealerpro]

We hear you

[@ShillDestroyer]

boom!!
