Sytner Online Auctions

[jgy6000]

Are there any other motor traders on here that use the Sytner online auction?

I have picked up a couple of cars from there but it just seems lately that nearly all the cars are selling fo retail money. I find this odd as to register you need to be a motor trader so there cant be that many private buyers on there if any at all. Yet the price some cars are selling for would make them a bad buy to sell on with the prep work that some need etc.

Im going to head back to Blackbush after the new year in the hope that the trade prices are actually realistic (they tend to be on the high side when i was there a few months ago) and i can get some new stock

Yep, I agree waste of time, have bought a few oddball bits off it in the past, Alfas, Subarus etc but even they do silly money now. Too many lazy group buyers sat at their desks spending someone elses money is the problem.

Any recommendations for finding good stock (PM me if you prefer)?

I trade as a side line to my main job which is in automotive(i have a LTD company and am VAT registered), tend to have up to 5 cars in stock at any one time, all cars under £10k. Usually go for high spec models with low or average miles in good condition.

Thanks

I didn't go to blackbush in the end. Went to BCA Enfield instead, had a good selection of cars and it wasn't overcrowded like I have experienced at blackbush before. Prices more in line with trade bar a few suprises. Looked like there were a small amount of private buyers but the majority were in the trade.

take the above two examples, the top one is strong retail money already, the second one you might squeeze a very small profit out of if your lucky!
