Hi there

I have spend a long time researching markets and products but with no luck. I then came about the idea of buying and reselling of cars.

I know this is not exaclty wholesale, but i was just wondering if you guys could help me.

I have always thought that getting hold of cars cheap (used) and reselling them is a good way to make some profit as i am also very interested in the subject.

Just a quick question. I know in these times of recession, people are not buying new cars. Would it be a good idea to sell used cars in this time, or buy a few for a bargain, and hold them back for a while unitll things pick back up regarding the economy

Regards
Darren

I would recommend you buy trade ins from garages to the resell straight through auctions, ordinary buyers have a huge amount of protection on their side which can become extremely costly, selling as trade through an auction protects you as sold as seen.

Shift 3-5 a week at £50 per motor average it becomes a living.

Seems like a good idea. I have not got alot of time on my hands at this moment, as currently finishing my last year of A-Levels, but am always on a lookout for good ideas and wholesale opportunitys. If you have got the time, could you explain more to me in a pm about trade ins ect.

Probably not the best market to go into right now as not that many people seem to buying cars due to the financial climate.
