Can someone sell cars part-time (like very sporadically) and make decent money?

Neely Youngblut: Of course you can make money selling cars but you need to know what you are doing.Also depending on the state you live in, selling more than 5 vehicles per year without a dealers license is a crime.Becoming a dealer is relatively expensive and time consuming.If you want a hobby and sell a couple of cars a year go for it.If you want a part time job doing it, might not be worth it for you.Good luck....Show more

Lucille Saetteurn: Why does she want her money back? This is not made clear in your question. Has she simply made a mistake or is there something mechanically wrong with the car? Points to note: 1. If the car has been sold as a private seller (which I believe you are) then fitness for purpose under S14 of the Sale of Goods Act 1996 is excluded. The saying "Caveat emptor" or "buyer beware" applies and the goods are sold in the condition they are in. It is for the purchaser of the goods to make the correct enquiries. So, if I purchase a car from ! a private seller and the engine falls out the next day I have no legal recourse. Many times in advertisements you see ads which state "SOLD AS SEEN" but such terms are superfluous to requirements and all goods are sold, in the capacity of a private seller, without any warrant unless a party have provided such. Exceptions apply: a) Were any representations made before the contract was entered into that induced the buyer to make a purchase that were false, misleading or negligent? If so they may have a claim under the Misrepresentation Act 1967 b) Did you sell in the course of a private sale or as a merchant? If you are a trader/merchant then s14 of the Sale of Goods Act 1996 cannot be excluded from any contract of sale. Contracts can be made; a) in Writing b) verbally c) by the conduct of the parties There is no doubt a contract exists between you and the purchaser. Unless the points outlined above stand then the person has made a legitimate purchase and the fact she has cha! nged her mind or has second thoughts will not prevent a legall! y binding contract. There is little she can do. Hope this helps!...Show more
