Why I Like Being A Licenced Motor Dealer

[7shades]

Current drive car. '02 BMW 330 ci Convertible

 

I get to tool around in this until I sell it... I'm in no rush :P

 

 

*skite*

 

:P

my mate has a coupe version of this. goes hard, has a tv...

[7shades]

This one HAD a TV... some alpine thingy I yanked out the moment it rolled off the truck. Bloody rediculous aerials stuck all over the inside of the windscreen...

 

And yes it does go rather hard... stubbornly refuses to break traction around corners however. May have something to do with the very expensive looking 265's on the back... shouldn't be an issue once I find which fuse to remove to turn off the pesky stability control.

Your dog likes it ? I like it.

there should be an ASC/DSC button. The E46 325i i drove at the driver training day had one.

You're probably right... I've spent all of 15 minutes in it so far :P

 

And my dog has very good taste. She refuses to get into mitsubishis

You'll know the answer to this question. How many motor vehicles can I buy and sell within a 6month period before it isn't classed as a hobby, becomes taxable and I have to get a dealer's license?

[7shades]

More than one every month or two and they'll start asking questions. Trick is not to register them until you have a buyer. Just get the RWC and register it straight into the buyer's name once they've bought it.

 

Getting a licence isn't that difficult... but it does cost a bit, and you have to got through a bit of red tape and beauracratic nonsense... and for technical reasons you must have a trading address (even if you don't actually trade from it) located in a commercially zoned area, with a lease in your name etc etc

I don't have a caryard or anything, just a shed... but it satisfies the requirements.

 

oh and you have to do 10 modules of training, they teach you how to fill out forms, word you up on the legalities, and drum into you how naughty it is to wind back speedos and cover up chassis rust with spray-on body deadener.

 

BUT

 

At the end of it all, you can transfer ANYTHING into your name without an RWC, and you get a trade plate :P

so some trades in this country still come with a truck load of perks.nice goin

[7shades]

Beemer sold. :D

 

But... nipped down to sydney on the weekend to check out a few auctions... some tasty tidbits floating around.

 

Made a smattering of bids but got pushed out of my price range on all of them, except one...

 

Here's a hint

 

 

Didn't meet reserve, so I've made an offer and we'll see if the vendor takes it :)

 

If he accepts, I have one more decision to make: whether to stick it on a truck, or fly down again and blast my way back up the coast at exceptional speed and in exquisite style :P

[Des]

Blast down and stop in here on ya way up.

[Teddy]

fark yes, drive it up and we'll all meet you !

[Nitephyre]

Erm, you had to ask that question?
