Speaking as somebody who tends to buy sub £1,000 cars, whenever I've been looking to buy a car I've always been put right off by any listing that says 'sold as seen'. When you don't know somebody, it just gives you a sneaking suspicion something maybe awry

I think if you're just selling the odd car maybe once every few months you should be ok - at the end of the day can you really call an individual who snaps up the odd bargain occasionally a business, as opposed to say having a new car in every time one goes out. It's a bit of a grey zone methinks, I've got a couple of mates who've done it no problems, but like everything in life there's always a risk involved. All of this is just my opinion at any rate - I'm an accountant and never been self employed so what do I know

good luck with whatever you choose though
