which cars to buy and sell for fun (and bit of profit)

[CraigVmax]

Hi all,

Interested in your opinions in the following.

Whilst I'm no guru on prices & cars I know a bit & I generally always buy and sell reasonably well..

I'd like to start buying and selling as a bit of a hobby/small business and interested in your opinions on which types of cars to go for..

i'm not talking huge money, sub £10k each time, what i'd ideally like to do is buy something, run it for a while, make sure its mechanically sound and tarted up cosmetically then sell on.

I need to strike the balance between something dull which sells easily (hatchbacks/saloons) to more interesting cars which are a little more specialised (but of course more niche and may take longer to sell) - I'm thinking Porsche 928's, Maser 3200's, Jag XJS, etc etc.

Interested in your thoughts..throw the floor open!

Thanks all. Craig

i'd be very transparent about my motives.

yep, take all points on board.

What i was thinking is that, as i dont have to buy and sell them, i can wait for good ones to come along, Low mileage, low owner cars, have them serviced, put a decent warranty on them and make them prettier. I'm not doing it to make millions, more as a bit of fun.

Selling from home not a prob.

good call on the smarts/elise.. keep em coming, thx all

all great ideas, 205's & Chims had also been in my head so nice to see others suggesting them.

through one means or another I get offered quite a lot of cars and usually pass on details to mates or people in the trade who snap them up! Thought I might have a play myself.

it would be the one that blew up & you would ban me from ph thats why!
