    Li, the red Seat is probably worth trading on. you've already got so much in the repairs pipeline it could end up sitting around for ages like the FIAT 500 NY Taxi or that old white Punto you had at the MOT garage for ages.
    on the suject of that little yellow 500, maybe you could do a video showing its current state after (I'm guessing) it being used as a donor car lol.

    My husband bought a red Alfa Romeo MiTo pre-covid, he sent back a lease car and just needed a cheapie to get him by for a bit. He paid £2k an it was a nice little car. We named it chip as the bonnet was covered in stone chips. At that price and age I don't think people care as long as it runs well

    • @Concorde-AXDN
      @Concorde-AXDN 3 місяці тому +3

      The only problem with that is you are still liable under the trading standards laws. The only thing you can do is to sell it as spares or repair but the buyer cannot drive it away. It has to be trailered or towed.

    • @Stoff1
      @Stoff1 3 місяці тому +2

      He could but the consumer rights would still apply unless it was sold as spares/repairs with no test drive given and it leaves the premises on a truck or trailer.

      Move to Driveway!! Sold as Seen as Warranty cannot be issued on a Driveway 👍
      A Trader uses a separate part of a V5. Doesn't own the Vehicle hence NO Tax required and can be Tested on the Road.
      NO VEHICLE IN THE UK HAS TAX UNLESS OWNED ON LOGBOOK(V5)
      VEHICLE MUST HAVE MOT TO GAIN TAX.......MOT is updated daily!! TAX is LAST DAY OF THE MONTH👍

  • @jeremywentworth1833
    @jeremywentworth1833 3 місяці тому +1

    Think you should sell the Seat Ibiza at 130,000 it's a mileage someone will still buy if at right price & should get 2 or 3 years out. If you have £600 stick it up at £1295/1395 so as not to have it standing around too long and say as it's cheap , if you normally offer 3 months warranty it only has a month. I'm sure as long as you have doubled your money sell it, certainly looks half decent 130,000 miles cars I'll buy as our second car for a cheap motor.

You will only put your name to a car that is properly done - mechanics, paint and interior so at least a car goes out of the door that is as good as it can be given its age and mileage

    • @carukchannel
      @carukchannel  3 місяці тому +1

      We pay vat margin, its a tax at 16.6% used on 2nd hand used cars. Take the selling price and minus off the purchase price, what ever is left apply 16.6% and that's your tax. Regardless of how much you spent on it. You can offset your vat paid out against this but trust me the vat man always wins and gets more. 🤣👍

    Regarding the Seat Leon, I think you would be going against your own principles by retailing it due to the mileage. Will make a nice car for someone but you don't want warranty issues at that kind of mileage.
