Buying cars to sell on

[bolger]

Considering buying cars out the car auction to clean up and sell on over the summer for something to do.

Has anyone done this?

Is there any money to be made? (i understand iam not going to make a fortune, but not doing anything else so an extra couple hundred a month would be nice!)

Got access to all tools ever required and space to keep the cars, for anyone who has done this or considered it, whats their opinion of it?

Thanks,

Even if the 7 a year is true, i don't think that'll be a problem just yet.

Will have a look in the market and around ad trader to see if i can see anything worthwhile.

Good replys thanks,

Certainly won't be ripping anyone off by selling a lemon or such.

But my 306 for ex, looked a right state in the auction when i bought it for £1300, refurb the wheels and done a bit of touching up and it looks a world of difference (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v260/lanarkrider/DSC00130.jpg)

Thinking 206cc's and vtr's would be easy to shift when people turn up to see them, just need to see what is going in the auctions.

So what would you do if you sold someone a Saxo VTR and a month later the engine let go?

Well if i bought it and never knew/found any problems after buying and before selling on, then both me and the buyer were unlucky and theres not much i can do if the engine goes pop a month after i sold it.

Same with any car thats sold 2nd hand.

And it came as no surprise to me that you would troll in this thread

Well i won't be a registered trader as such,

Talking about buying a couple of small cars, cleaning them up and selling them on until i go back to uni.

If you were being genuine and trying to help then fair enough, but it didn't come across that way.

Hmmm okay thanks,

Will do my research before making any decisions as always, guy at the top of my road does this so ill have a talk with him for some more opinion.
