A bit miffed

[Dan1971]

£900 screen profit's fair. The ST3 Estate I traded in recently for £17,500 at a local main dealer (having paid £17,200 from a different main dealer), was up for and sold quickly at £19K.

The guy's there to make a living and trading at the lower end with endless come backs from punters with - the "whatever" isn't working blah - blah will be a right pain in the ass.

It's a shame the car was in good nic until it was hit its was the mechanical nightmares I gave up with

Still it will need fixing once he sells it

For that profit he's got to provide a warranty, pay staff, fund his own lifestyle, pay tax (and probably VAT on the whole sale price @ 20% as he won't be able to claim it back from what he paid you), fix any issues the car was sold with and fuel for test drives etc. Not to mention someone knocking him down.

He's right, when you do the maths there's very little margin.
