Well, after near 10 years of workkng away from home I´ve finally had enough!

I´ve been thinking of setting up a small car dealership for a while now and I think I´m ready to take the plunge.

Afriend of mine has a massive pitch and he´s going to start renting smaller pitches out on the cheap so this could be a good place to start.

My idea is to only keep around 5 or 6 cars on the forecourt at one time and I intend to deal in ex-lease diesel´s as I think there will be a decent market for reliable, economical, low mileage diesels with full history etc.

What I would like from the good people of PF is any advice, experience (good or bad) you have with the motor trade as I would like not to crash and burn!

Also, I´ve read up a little on buying and selling trade/ex lease cars etc, I just need some advice on what I will need to make a good go at it

All advice welcome

thanks in advance
