Big mark up. And it's £50 short of £3000.

Price, up
Advert quality, down

By the way, I had a look at the photos and I'm pretty sure they aren't the same car

Edit: I'm actually rather sure it is a diferent car.

They are both limited edition no 4 of 30.

So does that mean there were originally 60 of them?

I've not got a problem with it, good luck to him I would suggest, however, that the original PH ad had disappeared before he put it back up for sale on PH!

He seen a good clear advert and re posted it difficult to read AND HE WAS SHOUTING WHEN HE WROTE IT.

He also took 500 miles off the clock.

Nothing wrong with making money be surely he could of made a better effort.

An ironic

For the non motor trade I'll quickly show you how a £3,000 margin is not quite as amazing as it sounds.

Assuming he gives a discount for arguments sake lets say £300.

£2,700 less the VAT £450 (motor traders work on a VAT margin scheme)

£2,250

Its not hard to imagine spending £250 on warranty and prepping that car which brings the profit down to £2,000. So you can see how £3,000 very quickly becomes £2,000 for selling it at nearly the asking price. Bearing in mind those numbers are based on a very conservative discount and costs.



Obviously £2,000 is still a decent profit if you can turn the car around quickly enough.

If he has in stock for a while and reduces the price by another thousand pounds, and eventually ends up offering £750 discount to get the deal done.

Some where between margin and profit you have expenses, and in the motor trade if you are not making money you are losing it. The former can very quickly become the latter.

Oh I didn't realise that. I'm just going on the fact that there are clear diferences in the cars. Exhaust ect look slightly diferent, not sure if just a clean but don't look quite the same. And the indicators certainly don't look the same.
