Bankrupt in a week.

You do know it’s his own car?

 

[Spider10]

Yes I do but at the end he does a cost report ,doesn't make a difference if it's his own car he still has to pay the guys that fixed it (he didn't fix it) no employee will say I'll fix it for £200 per day as you own the company

 

[ALFAitalia]

£200 a day is about £52K a year (less tax)......employed (as in not self employed) mechanics I know don't earn anything like that.....so they might if he pays cash!!

The Google tells me that "The average car mechanic salary in the United Kingdom is £30,000 per year or £15.38 per hour."....so that's only about £123 for an 8 hour day.

Maybe he pays his employee £200 per day? That’s the way I would interpret it.

That’s what I thought, as I think I remember him saying it would have cost most people a lot more in labour. Cost to him is different to cost to customer of course.

Me too. You could argue there is an opportunity cost in the business if his employees are working on his personal car, but in cash terms I reckon it cost him £200 per day - and I doubt Namz is too fussed about the finer details of management accounting techniques.
I liked following this GT63S story and was amused at the fact Ashley Young just washed his hands of his brand new £130k motor having abused it to the point of destruction. Money no object.
Wonder how the OP is getting on?

 

[badgx]

A cheap repair that only cost 10p. I'm sure I've seen this car somewhere before? The number plate seems very familiar

Looking at the reaction of his staff, doesn't come across as being acted out but you never know

If he can sort out the map and a few other bits, reckon should make for a tidy profit.

 

[geoffus]

Well acted to be sure, just another way to boost subscribers, that’s where the money is.

 

[Spider10]

There's actually not that much profit init never in a million year's will he get £21k for a 100k miles c63 no mot not been on the road since April
Sold in sept 21 for £19k

Found it on carsnitch, now i remember seeing this a while back, showing as edition 125 but not able to verify this?

[Spider10]

There's actually no difference between the standard and the edition 125 only a badge on the dash

 

[GillyC63]

No badge on the dash at all.

 

[Spider10]

It is an edition 125
