    Not a dub and have sold plenty of cars to local people.

    You haven’t a clue what you are at here.the lad posting that was actually siding with you saying that people do actually buy vehicles from rural locations with trusted reputations.
    You have also shot down several posters telling them they were wrong with their information. If you are that knowledgeable you will be king of the world in no time.
    And my opinion is if you are planning on just buying cheap cars and outsourcing service work,maintenance and valeting and your only role will be parking them in a yard and upping the price then I reckon you haven’t a hope and are actually clueless. If it’s as easy as buy small and sell big we would all be at it.
    If a person wants a car that’s 2k on paper why would they go to your yard and pay more for it?naturally they would just avoid the middle man and buy cheap themselves.

    My comment wasn't directed to you - if anything it was to say why this way of selling can work in a rural area as trust and reputation is far more important than a fancy garage in rural communities

    Hasn't the boat on this venture kind of sailed at this stage already? With Brexit kicking in next March sourcing cheap cars from the UK will dry up if we end up having to pay VAT on them too. That and your trying to compete with the supermarket car park type dealers on donedeal with little or no overheads.

    If More people had that attitude they be no one working in this country.

    We discussed the post brexit VAT situation a while ago in another thread and apparently nobody knows what will happen.

    Cars sold in the UK before brexit will be VAT paid in the EU. After brexit if they are exported to an EU country will they need to pay VAT in the EU again?

    The op could do with a good belt of reality, seems to have all the answers yet feels the need to hop on over to boards asking for advice which he then either ignores or contradicts. Buying and selling cheap oul yokes and he’s out sourcing the valeting!! Feckin hilarious

    You don't pay VAT twice, taxes are deducted at the destination
    But it's anyone's guess what the arrangements will be.

    Not studying the market properly that you plan on earning your crust in is the wrong attitude and exactly what contributed to the mess this country was in for 10 years but forward thinking and planning are not really Irish strong points.

    Couldn’t see it being a problem with neighbours/traffic. I’m in the countryside and have plenty of land to play with. Was thinking it might be an option to just have yard on the land away from the house to get out of paying rates on the house.

    The amount of calls our LA gets anonymously from 'neighbours' when 3/4/5 cars suddenly land, or if ye put up signage, or if ye have an untaxed car on the road, or if ye have a few cars running early on Saturday morning or on a Sunday evening.

    Thats even before the local garage or motor breakers or mechanics start phoning up in case you're moving in on them.
