    He says: "ALL MY CARS ARE FROM LOCAL DEALER PX's"

    Does that mean he just goes in, says "Got any PX's?" and they say, yep you can buy this for £xxx... ?

    Is it that simple, do you just need to walk in and ask the local dealers? Wouldn't you save money by going straight to the dealer?

    no Josh....he's as thick as pig pooh and thinks he's a trader.

    Look what he's started with!

    Moreover....when the Inland Rev see that he's "trying to make some additional income" he's toast.

    Most dealers will laugh you out of the door if you ask to buy some trade cars, unless they're stuck with an old Toyota that no trader would touch with a long, sh1tty stick. In faded red....held together with tape

    Why do people do this to themselves? oh my sides

    Inspired....who'd have thought it....amazing. What clever clever people.
    Buying old bangers and trading them on ebay. Superb grasp of the english language too....

    Anyone think I'm in a foul mood ?

    they're all in different roads..his neighbours must LOVE him.

    Think of the tax disks he must be buying and the traders insurance to keep them all legal

    As a trader hes gonna be held responsible for the condition of the cars he sells as well, Sales of Goods act is a beautiful thing.

    The state that those bangers are in I hope whoever buys has decent breakdown cover!

    I spent about 5 years driving old bangers that I bought for under £500 at auction then drove until they really were close to death, at which point I would bung 'em in the free ads for about what I paid. Then I'd buy another one and do the same. Its amazing how how little an old banger depreciates! Most of them were executive spec or sporty models motors that were quite highly speced out but had intergalactic mileage. Had a Astra GTE which was nice and a Scorpio, but the best one was a v8 discovery with full leather and snorkels/lights. Its a cheap way to get a car and if you know what to look for when tyre kicking at an auction, its realativley risk free. If you do end up buying a lemon then you havent lost a lot of money. Lot of fun too!
