Selling supercars, classics and high-prestige as a business
Discussion
I've just spoken to a guy that dropped into conversation that he worked for Jack Barclay in London. This has rekindled my interest in a project I was toying with a few months ago. I'd been thinking of starting a car dealership, or a brokerage as a sideline to my private hire business.
Is it possible to sell cars to buyers on commission (either buyer or vendor)? I've lots of experience with running agency sales (Estate Agency, Executive Recruitment and Financial Services).
Does anyone actually buy their cars from brokers over main dealers? I'm thinking of clients that want a certain specification, or a car that is not available in the UK, or that want to jump waiting lists etc...
I'm interested enough to do a feasability study on it, but not to actually go and set up as a franchised dealer for anyone (I don't want to go and sign up to buy 300 cars a year from Vauxhall for example)
Anyone able to give an insight?
