JUST BEEN TRYING TO BUY A HPC AND FOUND ONE 5 MILES FROM MY HOUSE BUT JUST A DAY TOO LATE. SORRY MATE I SOLD IT YESTERDAY. SOME OTHER LUCKY SOD HAS GOT IT FROM DOWN SOUTH.OR HAVE THEY.
SAME CAR HAS POPPED UP FOR SALE AT ANOTHER DEALER 2 DAYS LATER WITH 4 GRAND ADDED TO THE PRICE. SO IF ANYONE OUT THERE LOOKING FOR A NICE GREEN AND YELLOW HPC WITH LOW MILES BEWARE THE DEALER HAS TOO BIG A PROFIT ON THAT. NO NAMES TO BE POSTED THAT WOULD NOT BE RIGHT BUT NEEDLESS TO SAY EVEN DICK TURPIN WORE A #@#&ING MASK. THIS IS MY FIRST POST DO I GO IN THE SIN BIN NOW.

turn off your caps lock, it's the internet equivalent of shouting whilst masturbating over the next catalog.

What is wrong with dealers making money? Presumably, the dealer turned up gave cash and was no fuss for the original seller. Now, he has a caterham for sale asking a higher price, but for that has a 6 month liability on it, which is not necessarily wiped off even if the next owner buzzes the motor.

Who are you to dictate a profit margin? Calling them robbing buggers etc - none of your business and IMO the accusation is wrong.

You snooze, you lose. . . . . . and I bet the % profit margin on the Caterham is a damn site less than the % profit margin on plants in your garden centre

OP, THANKS FOR SHARING!

a) The asking price is not always reflective of the final agreed sale price
b) Do we know how much the dealer has had to spend to prep for retail?
c) Do we know what the dealer needs to keep to cover any warranties included?
d) Commercial business in 'setting out to make a profit' shocker!
