Is this the lowest mileage 124 for sale

[neilrr]

No, but I just don't think that's the most legitimate way to make a profit.

I don't understand that comment.

Likely he's only selling the car on the owners behalf and get his share once sold

Charles owns all his stock outright as far as I know, he doesn't like consignment.

He might do but a few months ago he was selling a 500e that was not his

That could apply to anything you buy, as everything has a mark up, otherwise no business would make any money. I'm sure that your average pint of milk down at Tescos has a very healthy mark up on it!

Bear in mind that somebody like Ironside has a business to run which will incur costs, such as rent, rates, business insurance, staff costs, prepping the car for sale, MOT, a warranty to go with the car and then VAT on the profit to pay to HMRC etc etc

I don't see the problem....infact good luck to him and I hope he makes a big fat profit

But what has he done to the car to increase its value by a few thousand?

He does not need to do anything to it,if he can sell it for a huge profit than good for him
Not cars but I've bought items on eBay do nothing to them and sell them for three times what I paid for
Does that make me a Crook?!!

No just savvy and market aware.

^ plus one to that, i have bought and sold a few times, but not as often i would like

As other's have said he may not have done anything to increase it's value but he's taken on the risk. As others have said, it's a business he's operating and most businesses try to buy something at a lower price than to which they sell.

It could be called as profiteering but I don't see the issue. What is questionable (in my view) would be if a forum member were to buy a car cheap of another member f(or example from the classifieds) and then re-sell it soon after at a much higher price to another member.

i agree with your first paragraph but stuggle with your 2nd

car dealers come in all shapes and sizes, some sell from fancy garages, some use there house, i have no problem with people buying and selling any car as long as it NOT mis-sold, ie made out to be something is not, if someone can buy something and sell it on for more, good luck to them, i have no problem with how or when they bought it, its just what some people do.
