He who has the ebay balls.... Wins.
But by the time he's paid his taxes, business rates, paid for a warranty, got the dentmaster guy round and maybe changed the oil, there's not a lot of profit there - and that's before a buyer starts chipping away at the screen price.

News Flash! Dealer sells car for more than it was advertised privately.

If this worries you then you would have a heart attack if you visited your local BCA.

And stamped the book for all the services it missed.... Funny how it went from some service history to full!!

I wonder if the guy selling it has a friendly mechanic called Edd

A strange world this, businesses trying to turn profits and stuff.

Bit deceptive describing it as a 1999 B reg in the ad text, when it was imported to the UK in 99 and was first registed in SA in 94...

What does "Hell Rot Bright Hell Red" mean?

And as has been said, FSH sounds like 'ollocks.

I think Edd and Mike would have several phone calls, and it would have sold the same day as it was tarted up.

Hell Rot is the German colour name. Rot being Red in German.

To be fair if you typed the reg into the Autotrader automated advert thingy it would do that. It is probably not anything more sinister than that.

I was keen on this car when it was on eBay, but was a bit rich for me to go for when the care was being sold by a non specialist dealer and I could not view beforehand. Good luck to the buyer, I thought, looked a nice car. Then I saw the PH ad.... Wow! I am all for profit, but wow! was not expecting that.
