I regularly consider buying older cars, doing them up and selling on for profit. All legit, declared as a trader. Every time the madness grips me I come on here to see the latest crazy attempt to extract extra cash from a trader because the buyer failed to take any responsibility for checking out the car before handing over the cash.
Will stick to the day job thanks0 -
