Don’t think you get the recognition you deserve for your communication skills, got a skill for explaining the way the business works you would be a great car business trainer

Mad that AutoTrader is not in Ireland. It was in the 90’s but vanished. And post brexit buying cars in the UK to import into Ireland is mostly dead which is a bloody shame.

Killed the car trade here. We were massively reliant on cars from the UK. Which are often better specced and better maintained than Irish cars.

@@kelvyndoyle9339na the AutoTrader platform is very different to Carzone. AutoTrader May have bought Carzone a few years ago but AutoTrader as you know it in the UK has been gone for years. We are stuck with DoneDeal and Carzone.

Was so shocked at that auto trader bill I thought you were going to say 3000-4000 🤯🤯🤯

Keep up the great work Calv! Can’t wait for your Podcasts 👍🏼

Absolutely loved this video, wish you done this a few weeks back when I was doing my uni work. Answered half my questions for different types of business and tax/VAT 🙌🏼 could watch these all day! Start a new series of podcasts like this please 🙏🙏

Really good video Calvin, content just keeps getting better

I have been here for the past year and enjoy every video mate your teaching us so much 😊

Great video Calv...loving the look on the screen of the podcast room...Love the info on the video...Keep the videos coming man...👍🏻💪🏻👏🏻

Great video Calvin. Really like these style of videos

Always quality videos mate. Love the great insight

Nice alternative vlog mate 👍😎 great explanation. Take it easy , keep up the awesome work.

I loved this podcast kind of setup and was able to get a better insight into the car trade looking forward for future videos.

I do love all your videos. It is your honesty that always shines through. £144k a year to AutoTrader. Back in 1993, we all forget the original. Exchange & Mart. So there was competition. Which exponentially meant, lower marketing costs for dealers. I have an idea for this market, and with that level of cost, I must pursue it 😳

Keep smashing it Calvin and binca 👍🏻

Fantastic inspirational video Calvin 👏

Can't wait for your ccd event, be good to meet Calvin

Love watching your videos

Great vlog. Remember the auto trader mags. And the old exchange and Mart paper. Brilliant. Best wishes

not many youtubers are entertaining to watch your smashing it!

Very informative video. Gave me good knowledge 👍👍

What I did when I started out was start a service based motor trade business (started with detailing and bodywork and added more services over time) used the profits from that to buy my stock ( small amount of vehicles with larger margins) managed to do the repairs / work through my business at huge discount and then able to sell the car for a profit. Obviously this method won’t work for everyone but it solves the issue of storage and repairs / servicing I actually detailed your M6 calvin if you remember 😂

Bloody brilliant video calv as always, cant beleave how much auto trader charges you its mental 😮😮😮

Good job you got KZread to keep you afloat 👍🏻

That brings back some serious memories buying auto trader magazines and going to the cheaper 500 pound cars section and dream of what cars I wanted to get and fix up. Always wanted to do what you have done Calvin.

I used to have so many Top Marques magazines laying around. The amount of money I wasted as a teenager, I wonder what my parents thought. Always got a buzz seeing a McLaren F1 listed. That's why I want to start trading, I have so much accumulated knowledge of cars, experience with running a business and also a web dev, I think I can make a good go of it. The trick is taking on simple cars, small displacement, relatively new, nothing complicated. No ropey german metal with sus history, no massive high mileage SUV's etc etc.

Calvin that room is kool the lights . Thats better than my Brothel in Manchester and they has bottles off oil Not Water .

Calvin's come a long way

I'd love to do this myself. In fact, I used to work at a scratch and shine several years ago, and the manager did used car trading and asked me to be involved in it and manage the website, adverts etc. due to good english speaking, it skills and a lot of car knowledge, but even until now there's been so much stuff going on that he's not managed to start back up. I've got such a huge amount of car, market and some it knowledge going to waste but with everything so expensive, money is a big requirement to get started

Calvin, talk about trader plates / insurance please

If your interested there actually knocking down the original AutoTrader HQ here in Reading and the original logo signs are still on the building!!

Great video Calvin nice and informative 👍, how does trade insurance work and is that expensive?

Does the same rule apply with tax when it comes to sale or return?

Preparing the cars costs thousands overs a year

12k for 99 listings is insane, it obviously works but thats a crazy amount

Did i hear that correct..12k a MONTH???? Or annually? Autotrader getting that doe in 😂💰

Cool. How about other costs? Staff? Warranties?

Out of interest, do you use a financial adviser? They could really help with the tax side of it, taking income efficiently, making pension contributions to reduce tax liability etc...

This is why dealers cars are expensive comapred to private seller, but problem is that people hust judge everyones the same but its not true e.g. not all private sellers from home are selling a shit car or lemmon, some of us actully buy a car and just sell it for small profit even after putting moeny into it try to sell it as a dealer qaulity but still get time wasters and people saying oh its old car its not worth that when you see same or simler cars at others sellers and dealers for 2 times more and still sells. 😢

Why do you only have to pay 16% tax/vat? Genuine question as I'm not vat registered but I was told by someone (can't remember who!) if I was, I'd charge the customer 20% but would only have to pay the tax man 16% back which is like what you said, but I don't understand why!

@CalvinsCarDiary

Жыл бұрын

It’s not 16% mate it is actually 20% so it’s worked out as if we’ve charged our customer vat. For example: 100% - 16.666% is basically equal to 83.333 x 120%

Great video. Please do a cost breakdown of your KZread dealership. It will help people like me to see how much i need to save to start a car sales business

What was VRS bill? 👀🤦‍♂🤣

Answer is. A lol of time. Low cost. Plenty profit. Individual adverts. Before go Autotrader contract. If done with ease. Not hard. Can have a site 2/3 spaces office. Tax cars. Leave them 500 metres apart . It doesn't have to be expensive and you can start on ow capital.
